Patch 117
Additional examples of patch by channel:
[5] [At] [1][0][0] [Enter] - patches channel 5 to address 100.
[2][0][3] [At] [1][2] [Enter] - patches channel 203 to address 12.
Range Patching
Range patching using the [Thru] key allows you to quickly patch a group of channels. [1][Thru][2][0]
[At] [1] [0] [Enter] patches channels 1 through 20 to addresses 10 through 29.
You can also use the [+] and [-] keys. [1] [+] [4] [+] [8] [At] [1] [Enter] patches channel 1 to address 1,
channel 4 to 2, and channel 8 to 3. The [Group] key can also be used if groups have been created.
Note: Range patching only works with channels. If you try to range patch addresses, parts
for the channel will be created. See Creating multipart and compound channels (on
page121).
Note: If you try to patch a channel or address that exceeds the console's capacity, an error
message saying number out of range will display on the command line.
Patching By Address
Pressing [Format] while in the patch display will toggle the mode between patch by channel and
patch by address.
[2] [0] [At] [1] [Enter] patches address 20 to channel 1. Pressing [At] will post channel to the com-
mand line while patching by address.
Additional examples of patch by address:
[5] [At] [1][0][0] [Enter] - patches address 5 to channel 100.
[2][0][3] [At] [1][2] [Enter] - patches address 203 to channel 12.
Note: If, at any point, you try to patch an address that is already in use, Eos will post an
advisory to indicate this, preventing you from duplicating addresses in your patch.
Using Output Address vs Port/ Offset
The output address is the DMX or network DMX (often called EDMX) address. Examples of output
addresses are 510, 1, and 1024.
