Software Upgrade from No.2.1 (free) for the Masterpiece 108 provides a Signal Patch.
This allows the 108 Masterpiece PMX Channels to be patched to drive 256 DMX Slots (channels). Thus, for example, up to 16 Clay Paky
Stage Scans can now be controlled whereas before the patch upgrade, only 6 could be controlled!
The Patch groups projector channels together - just as you would have often done in practice but previously by using Scenes. Now each
Masterpiece channel is able to control groups of projector channels, vastly expanding the Masterpiece's capabilities.
In the table below various example arrangements are shown but the groupings can of course be varied to suit the requirements of your
particular show.
If, for example, Prism Select has the number 2 in the table, this could mean that Odd Projector Prism Selects are controlled by one channel
and Even Projector Prism Selects are controlled by a second channel.
