Attributes
The {Attributes} area of patch provides you with optional fields for additional information and
details relating to your patched fixtures.
The {Attributes} settings that apply to conventional fixtures are {Preheat}, {Proportion}, {Curve},
and {GM Exempt}. Additional settings that apply to moving lights and accessories are {Fan
Curve}, {Invert Tilt}, {Invert Pan}, and {Swap}.
When the selected device includes a color scroller, a {Scroller} button will be displayed in the CIA,
and when the selected device includes a color wheel, a gobo wheel, or an effect wheel, {Color
Wheel}, {Gobo Wheel}, or {Effect Wheel} buttons will appear.
With a channel selected, click the desired attribute button and use the keypad to set the attribute
value.
• {Preheat} -This field allows you to specify an intensity value to preheat incandescent
filaments. When a preheat flag is applied to a cue, any channels that are fading from zero to
an active intensity and have been assigned a preheat value in patch will preheat in the
immediately preceding cue.
• [1] {Preheat} [0] [3] [Enter] - channel 1 is assigned a patched preheat value of 3%.
The preheat flag is applied to a cue as an attribute when the cue is recorded. See “Preheat”
on page 111.
• {Proportion} - An attribute to set a modifier for the intensity of the device. If the patch limit is
set at 90% (for example), the actual output will always be 10% lower than the specified
intensity parameter, as impacted by the various playbacks or submasters. This value is set
numerically in a range of 0% to 200%.
• [1] {Attributes} {Proportion} [1] [2] [5] [Enter] -applies a 125% proportion to channel
1.
• [1] {Attributes} {Proportion} [Enter] - removes the applied proportion from channel 1.
• {Curve} - Used to assign a curve to an address in patch. In patch, curve is applied to intensity
parameters only. For more information on curves, See “Storing and Using Curves” on
page 191.
From channel view:
• [1] {Curve} [4] [Enter] - applies curve 4 to the intensity parameter of channel 1.
• [2] [Part] [3] {Curve} [3] [Enter] - applies curve 3 to the intensity assigned to channel
2, part 3.
From address view:
• [3] {Curve} [3] [Enter] - assigns curve 3 to address 3.
• [3] [/] [2] {Curve} [4] [Enter] - assigned curve 4 to universe 3, address 2.
