Patching Moving Lights
The process of patching moving lights requires more detail than patching a dimmer. Specific
information is required for more advanced control of the features offered by moving lights.
Tutorial
Step 1: To patch a moving light you must first open the patch display. You may open the patch
display from the browser or by pressing [Displays]>{Patch}.
Step 2: Enter a channel number or multiple numbers from the control keypad.
• When typing any number from the control keypad, and patch is in default
channel mode, channel is assumed and is placed on the command line. You
can use the [+], [-], [Thru], and [Group] keys to make your channel selection.
•example: [1] [0] [1] [Thru] [1] [1] [0]
Step 3: Press the {Type} touchbutton in the CIA.
Step 4: Select a device type from the fixture library.
a: Press {Manfctr} from the CIA to display the fixture library. The two columns
on the left are pagable and show manufacturer names.
b: Use the arrow touchbuttons to scroll the list of manufacturers. Selecting a
manufacturer repaints the device columns with all devices from that
manufacturer that are available for patching.
c: Scroll through the device list and make your selection. After the selection is
made, the fixture/device type will be placed on the command line after the
channel number and displayed in the box beneath the {Type} button.
Step 5: Enter a starting address for the selected channel or group of channels.
• Press [At] and enter the address using the control keypad. The address may be
entered in standard format ([1] [0] [2] [5]) or by using port and offset ([3] [/] [1]).
Note:
Alternatively, when patch is in address mode, address is assumed and is placed
on the command line. Channel mode and address mode are toggled using the
[Format] key in the patch display.
Note:
Notice the two softkeys {Show Favorites} and {Manfctr} located beneath the
CIA.
These softkeys provide you with the option of showing only the library of fixtures/
devices that are already patched in the show and your favorites/ Eos default
devices, {Show Favorites} or all fixtures/devices available in the library sorted by
manufacturer {Manfctr}.
