Patch Display
To enter the Patch display press the [PATCH] hard-key.
Patching is the process by which console control channels are associated
with, or patched to, dimmer output addresses. As you will recall from earlier
sections of this guide, your console has 1,536 dimmer (DMX or CMX) output
addresses and has either 384 or 600 (depending on the model)
conventional lighting control channels.
Automated devices are not dealt with the same way as conventional
control channels. Automated device patches can be viewed from the
Patch display, however they are patched from the Device Assignments
sub-display of the Setup display. See
Chapter 10 Automated Devices
for
additional information.
Patch Parameters
On the control console there are six elements of a patch assignment and
they are as follows (see Figure 9.0 also):
Port: There are three ports; A, B, and C. Each port is capable of sending
512 DMX dimmer control signals.
Dimmer Number: This is the DMX or CMX Dimmer address.
Channel Number: This is the channel that the dimmer responds to.
Level: This is the proportional level that an individual dimmer will output.
The default is 100%. Proportional levels are shown in the third column of
the Patch display ( % ).
Profile: This is the output curve. The default curve (Profile 0) is linear and
not editable. There are 16 customizable profiles available. Dimmer profile
assignments are shown in the fourth column of the Patch display ( Pr ).
Device: This is the automated device trait that a given dimmer output
address responds to. Device numbers are shown in the fifth column of the
Patch display.
