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 Solution and Solution XL 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.
