5 @ 2 – 1 / 20
To patch a dimmer, simply press CHOOSE DIMMER rather than CHOOSE HEAD and then patch one or more
dimmers as above.
In the Patch Window all the lighter coloured fields can be configured. To modify a field, first move the cursor
to the field, then input the new value using the keypad and keyboard, and finally press ENTER.
In this way you can modify DMX address, head number, head name and gel for each of your patched heads.
4.7.1 Naming and Numbering Heads
Once you have patched all the heads you can then name and number them as you wish. It is recommended that
you name the dimmer or the head based on its location (e.g. front wash / back truss SL). For dimmers you may
wish to configure the gel. This makes programming easier – enabling the console to auto program cues for
you.
The gel field uses gel numbers. For Lee colours enter the gel number directly (e.g. 181 for Lee 181). For
Rosco colours enter the gel number preceded by dot (e.g. .14 for Rosco 14). For no colour enter 0. If you
would prefer to use colour names rather than gel numbers then simply enter the colour name.
To test a patched head or dimmer, simply press the TEST MODE soft button (soft button encode C) and the
head which the cursor is over will be tested. For heads it locates the fixture; for dimmers it sets the dimmer to
100%. Press the TEST MODE soft button again to turn test mode off.
