2. Patch
We will introduce how to patch dimmer channels and fixtures in this chapter:
Patch DMX address of Units;
Patch dimmer channels;
Patch fixtures;
Setup the fixture channels;
Look over the Unit patch.
In order to make the Phantom 1024 to control your Units, you should first patch the Units. Each Unit fader can be
patched to a channel or a fixture.
First of all, connect all the dimmers and fixtures by DMX cables. Then, patch every channel or fixture to each Unit
button. Phantom 1024 contain 8 Unit pages, each of which can be patched to 30 Units. So you can patch up to 240
Units by changing pages.
2.1. Patch the Unit Address
When you patched dimmer channels or fixtures, Phantom 1024 will automatically distribute the free DMX
addresses to avoid the overlap, discontinuity and waste of DMX addresses. You can also assign the DMX address
of fixtures and dimmers by manual patching to carry out your preconcerted design, but you must make sure the
DMX addresses don’t overlap with each other.
When patching dimmer channels and fixtures, LCD screen will list the present patched addresses of the Units and
those free DMX addresses, marked as Free.
2.2. Patch Dimmer Channels
Each Unit fader can be patched to a dimmer channel. After patching, you can control the brightness of the dimmer
channel. A dimmer channels comprise of one or more DMX addresses. If you change the level of a dimmer
channel, dimmers of the DMX addresses controlled by the channel will get the same brightness value.
Example: Use 1
st
-6
th
addresses of DMX output port B, to patch
a 6 channeled dimmer to the No. 21-26 Unit button of 1
st
page in
Unit section, so that each of the 6 Unit faders can individually
control 1 dimmer channel, thus each Unit button control a
dimmer channel .
Press Patch in the Function section to enter “Setup Patch”
menu;
Press S2 [Patch Dimmer] to enter the menu;
Use S2 to select [Select DMX Output = B] mode. Now the
LCD screen display the patching state of port B. “Free” means it’s not patched;
Press 001 by the Numeric keypad to set the DMX initial address as 1;
