3.2 Changing the patch
3.2.1 Patch View
The Patch View window gives a full overview of how all the fixtures in
your show are patched, and allows you to patch, repatch, legend,
renumber, invert, pan/tilt swap, freeze, exchange, park and view
fixtures.
To show the Patch View window press
View then Patch, or use the
Open Workspace Windows menu command.
Fixture type: lists the different types of fixture in your show. Each
fixture has a unique colour code. Click on these buttons to select all
fixtures of the type.
Line: lists the available DMX output lines/universes. The blue
bargraph in the button shows how much of the line is used by
patched fixtures and how much is free. Click a button to show the
details of that line in the right hand side of the window.
The coloured bar at the top shows how fixtures are patched on the
selected output line, using the unique colour code for each type of
fixture. Click on a section of the bar to select those fixtures in the grid
below.
The grid area shows details for each patched fixture on the selected
output line. Some parameters are editable by clicking in the grid,
then the softkeys allow you to change the parameter.
You can change parameters for multiple fixtures by
dragging a selection box over the grid, or hold the Ctrl
button on the keyboard and click on the required
fixtures. Then edit the parameter on the softkeys, and
use the Set context button to update the selected
fixtures.
• You can switch off some of the display columns to make the
Patch View simpler. Press the Choose Columns context menu
button and then use the options on the softkeys to turn
columns on and off.
