Patching Functions
The Patch option in Edit Fixtures provides a simple and clear way to patch or repatch
fixtures, add duplicates, unpatch fixtures and move the location of fixtures, if required.
The 48 or 96 dimmers on the Leap Frog 48 and Leap Frog 96 desks respectively default to
being patched to DMX addresses 1 – 48 or 1 – 96 on universe 1.
In addition to specifying a DMX start address when assigning fixture types, the desk
provides functions that allow you to patch or repatch individual fixtures or groups of fixtures
to DMX output addresses on any of the DMX universes.
It is also possible to patch a fixture to more than one DMX address in one or more
universes. These additional patch addresses are known as duplicates
.
Select the fixture(s) to be edited. Click on the [Patch] button in the Edit Fixtures Window.
The patch table shows the Location (MFK, Preset Fader or DMX In), DMX-In assignment
and DMX address(es) that each of the selected fixtures are currently patched to.
If a fixture has not been patched to the DMX output then the corresponding DMX column
will show ‘Add’
