Patch 109
a name, and by DMX footprint. For example, if you searched for 31, you would see all of the fixtures
that have a DMXfootprint of 31. Double clicking on a fixture name will patch it.
In the search window, press {Parameters} to view a parameter list for a fixture, or press {Fixture
Notes}to see any notes that exist for it. You can also view this information in the Fixture Editor.
Press [At] and then enter a starting address for the selected channel or group of channels. The desk
will automatically offset addresses based on the fixture type selected.
{Add Show} will add a fixture or device to your show list. If you want to delete a fixture or device
from the show list, click {Edit} while in the show display. Select the device you wish to remove and
click {Delete}.
To select a device interface (optional), click {Interface}. See Output Protocols (on page456).
Click the {Attributes} softkey to set detailed moving light attributes. The following buttons may be
available on this page depending on the device selected: {Preheat}, {Proportion}, {Curve}, {Fan Curve},
{LD Flags}, {GM Exempt}, {Invert Pan}, {Invert Tilt}, {Swap P/T}, {ColorPath}, {Scrollers}, {Gobo
Wheels}, {Color Wheels}, and {Effect Wheels}. Additional buttons maybe available based off of your
fixture type. See {Attribute} Displayand Settings (on page119).
If your moving light includes parameters such as a color scroller or gobo wheel and you have custom
gels or non-standard patterns installed, use the Scroller/ Wheel Picker and Editor to modify the
device patched. The more specific your patch data (including accurate colors and patterns), the
more detailed programming and operating will be. See Using the Scroller/Wheel Picker and Editor (on
page111).
Patching MultiCell Fixtures
Fixtures that have multiple same-type parameters can have a multicell profile assigned to them. The
process for patching multicell fixtures is similar to patching moving lights. There are a few dif-
ferences that are important to understand though.
Note: It is recommended that when patching multicell fixtures that you work in patch by
channel mode. See Patching By Channel (on page102).
After you have entered the channel number, click {Type}. You will then select a device type from the
fixture library.
Fixtures that have multicell functionality will be listed with a MC in their mode description in the
device list, and in the {Show} list.
