Patching Scrollers
To patch a scroller, you will want to first create a part to the channel you will be using. See “Creating
multi-part and compound channels” on page 51.
Select the part of the channel you wish to patch the scroller. [3] [Part] [2] [Enter] selects part 2 of
channel 3.
Click the {Type} button in the CIA.
Press {Manfctr} from the CIA to display the fixture library. The two columns on the left are pagable
and show manufacturer names. Use the arrow buttons to scroll the list of manufacturers. Selecting
a manufacturer repaints the device columns with all devices from that manufacturer that are
available for patching.
Scroll through the device list and make your selection. After the selection is made, the fixture or
device type will be placed on the command line after the channel number and displayed in the box
beneath the {Type} button.
Click the {Attributes} softkey, and then click on {Scroller} to assign a scroller.
The Scroller/Wheel picker will display in the CIA. You can either select one of the default scrollers
or you can create your own scroller. See Using the Scroller Editor, page 53 and Calibrating a
Scroller, page 58 for more information.
Note:
Patching a scroller requires a mouse or touchscreen.
Note:
Notice the two softkeys {Favorites} and {Manfctr} located beneath the CIA.
{Favorites} provides you with the option of showing only the library of fixtures or
devices that are already patched in the show, your favorites, and Element’s
default devices. {Manfctr} shows all fixtures or devices available in the library
sorted by manufacturer.
