The Scroller Patch
The Scroller Patch menu, menu 20, provides tools for optimizing the scroller set up and
quick editing selection.
Patching scrollers to channels defines the luminaire mounted with a scroller as two-
parameter device; the dimmer of the fixture is one parameter and the scroller the second
parameter. This allows you, during editing, to address the dimmer and the scroller using
the same control channel.
The functions for scroller management are:
Patching scrollers to control channels.
Patch scrollers to DMX address.
Fine adjustment of the frame position.
Designating a frame as a "dark gel". The “dark gel” is kept in constant movement to
reduce gel burn in dark filters.
The number of frames can be customized.
Scroller set ups can be copied from one scroller to another.
Clear Assignments.
Assign default DMX addresses.
The scroller patch table displays all the information pertinent to the scrollers.

option. If more than one dimmer is assigned to a scroller the assignment is represented
by a plus sign (+) that appears in the DMX address column of the scroller table. This
option is also available in the Scroller Patch. If selected you are immediately bumped to
the Channel Patch.
** The default for the number of frames is determined by the number of frames defined in
Service Tools/Sys Config/Special Numbers. The number of frames can be modified per
scroller in the Scroller Patch menu. The frame values default to a 0 - 100 scale based on
the number of frames.
The monitor displays up to 20 frames on page 1. If the system is configured for more
than 20 frames page the Scroller menu display by pressing
