Patching Fixtures by User Fixture Number
If you have assigned user fixture numbers to the fixtures in the Edit Fixtures screen, you
can omit the group selection part of the command, and simply refer to the fixture(s) by their
individual fixture number(s), for example:
301 @ 146 ENTER
(patch fixture number 301 to DMX address 146)
701 THRU 704 @ 66 ENTER
(patch fixture numbers 701 – 704 starting at address 66)
Patching Fixtures to a Specified Universe
Fixtures can also be patched to a specified universe by including the universe number in
the command. For example, to patch the MAC 250’s to universe 3 starting at DMX
address 101, enter the following command:
GROUP [MAC 250] @ 3/101 ENTER
Patching Composite Fixtures
Certain fixture types (eg Varilite VL5) are composite fixtures and have to be patched twice,
once for the intensity parameter, and once for the remaining parameters. The [Fixture Part]
button on the touch screen is used when patching the non intensity part of the composite
fixture, for example:
Press GROUP and then select the VL5 button on the toolbar.
Type in the command: 1 THRU 6 @ 101 ENTER. This will patch the intensities of the six
VL5’s to DMX channels 101-106 on the current DMX universe. The intensity paramter
requires a single DMX channel.
Type in the command: 1 THRU 6 [Fixture Part] 107 ENTER. This will patch the remaining
parameters of the six VL5’s to the current DMX universe starting at address 107.
Unpatching Fixtures
To unpatch a selection of fixtures from a specified universe (Outputs or Channels view) or
all universes (Fixtures view):
GROUP [MAC 250] 1 THRU 5 UNPATCH
To unpatch an instance of a fixture from a specified universe (Outputs or Channels view)
or all universes (Fixtures view):
GROUP [MAC 250] 1 @ <address> UNPATCH
To unpatch an instance of a fixture from a specified universe and address (all views):
GROUP [MAC 250] 1 @ <universe>/<address> UNPATCH
To unpatch a fixture at a specified address:
UNPATCH <universe>/<address>
To unpatch all fixtures in a universe:
UNPATCH <universe> ENTER
