Proportional Patching

Adding Duplicates
A duplicate is an additional instance of
a dimmer channel which is patched to
a different DMX output address.
Up to 9 duplicates may be added to
each dimmer channel. An extra line of
data is displayed on the screen for
each duplicate defined.
Duplicates are added automatically
when patching the desk channel using
either of the following methods:
1. By specifying additional DMX
address(es) separated by AND
when entering the address in the
DMX Address field
(eg 101 AND 102 AND 103 )
2. Left clicking the mouse on
additional DMX addresses in the
DMX map.
Providing the DMX addresses are
valid, an extra line will be added for
each duplicate showing it patched to
the specified address.
NOTE - Excluded Channels
When channel data is saved to a memory,
the data for any excluded channels is stored
in the memory, but it is not output on the
DMX when the memory is output via
Playback X, Playback A/B or a submaster.
When channel data is loaded directly onto a
submaster, the data for the excluded
channels is output on the DMX when the
submaster is raised.
