The four par cans are now assigned to fixture fader 1 and patched to channels 10 , 12 , 15 and 17 ,
and a single GoldenScan is assigned to fixture fader 2 and patched to DMX channels 50 to 61 .
Multiple Assignment and Patching Commands
For speed and convenience, ShowMagic offers features for assigning and / or patching multiple
fixtures with a single command by using other keys such as
[/] (on the numeric keypad) for ‘Thru’
and function key
[F12]
for ‘Copy’. For instance, if you were using 10 GoldenScan HPE fixtures
and you wished to assign these to fixture faders 1 through 10 on the desk you could do the
following:
1) Click anywhere within the Fader list to select it. The highlight bar will then be shown in red
to indicate that the Fader list is now active for editing. Press [Delete] [1] [/] [2] then [Enter]
and you will be prompted to confirm the deleting of those two fader assignments (1 ‘thru’
2).
2) With the
Fdr 001
row still highlighted select the
Make
Clay Paky
Model
GoldenScan HPE
fixture using the
Library
button, then press [F12] [1] [/] [10] . This would display the
command Copy Fdr 1 Thru 10 . Pressing [Enter] to confirm this command would then
assign copies of the fixture assigned to fader 1 ( GoldenScan HPE ) to faders 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ,
7 , 8 , 9 and 10 . You now have 10 GoldenScans assigned to faders 1 to 10 , but they are not
patched to DMX channels; the patching can be done for each fixture individually as
previously described, or if their addresses are all set to be consecutive, they can all be
patched with a single command:
1) Let us say that you have physically set 10 GoldenScan 3 HPE fixtures to use consecutive
start channels beginning with 1, i.e. 1, 13, 25, 37 etc and you wished to assign these to
faders
1 through 10 , this can be done in the following way:
2) Delete fader assignments 2 through 10 by pressing [Delete] [2] [/] [10] [Enter] and this
will leave you with one GoldenScan on
Fdr 001
.
3) Press
[F12] [1] [/] [10] [*] [1]
. This will display the command
Copy Fdr 1 Thru 10 at
1 . Pressing [Enter] to execute this command would then assign the 10 fixtures to fixture
faders 1 - 10 and also automatically patch them to their consecutive channels beginning
at DMX channel 1.
Alternatively, pressing [F12] [1] [+] [9] [*] [1] [Enter] would add 9 more fixtures of the same type
as
Fdr 001
, assign them to Faders 002 through 010 , and also patch them consecutively beginning at
channel 1.
Yet another way to assign and patch multiple fixtures is to assign a fixture to a fader, double-click
on it’s
DMX Address
, enter the start address for that fixture in the
Address
box but also type the
number of copies you want in the
Copy
box. That number of fixtures will then be assigned to the
faders and patched consecutively.
