Patch 91
Example:
Let’s assume you patch 96 channels of dimmers to addresses 1 through 96.
•
[1] [Thru] [9] [6] [At] [1] [Enter]
Now you wish to dimmer double 1 through 12 of your Sensor+ rack and you want these
to be channels 97 through 108. To patch this, press:
•
[9] [7] [Thru] [1] [0] [8] [At] [1] {B} [Enter]
Channels 97 through 108 are patched to address 1 through 12 B, while channels 1
through 12 are now patched to address 1 through 12 A.
To remove the dimmer doubling from these addresses, you must first press [Format] to
enter Address mode and then press:
•
[1] [Thru] [1] [2] {NoDimDbl} [Enter]
Addresses 1 through 12 have been returned to single dimmer modes and channels 97
through 108 are now unpatched.
By default, doubled dimmers start with an offset network DMX address value of 20000.
Therefore, in the above example, address 1B (channel 97) is actually controlled by network
DMX address 20001. Address 2B is actually controlled by network DMX address 20002 and so
on. This offset matches the default offset in CEM+ / CEM3 when configuring your Sensor
dimmer rack for dimmer doubling. To change the default offset value, see {Dim. Dbl. Offset} (on
page133) .
Note: For Sensor Classic racks using dimmer doubling, the offset value should be set
to 256.
Note: Dimmer doubling needs to be turned on per DMX port in Browser > Setup >
System Settings > Output. See Outputs (on page138).
Note: There is also a Dimmer Doubling setting for Net3 Gateways with DMX outputs.
This is used with Sensor racks that are connected via DMX. The Gateway must be
properly configured.
Moving and Copying Channels
Channels can be moved from one location to another within patch.
•
[1] [Copy To] [Copy To] [2] - moves channel 1's data to channel 2. Channel 2's data is
replaced by channel 1's. Channel 1 is unpatched.
•
[1][Copy To] [Copy To] [2][Part][2] - creates a part 2 for channel 2 and moves channel 1's
data to the new part. Channel 2's data remains in part 1. Channel 1 is unpatched.
The second press of the [Copy To] key changes the command from Copy To into Move To.
Note: Move To always impacts the entire show.
The following options are available with [Copy To]:
•
[Copy To] - copies a channel to another location within patch.
•
[CopyTo] {Plus Show} - copies a channel to another location within patch and all record
targets in the show.
