3. Patching

Patching is the process where you tell the Tiger Touch

• What type of lighting units you have connected to it

• What DMX addresses they are operating at

• Which DMX line (universe) each unit is connected to (there are

64 lines, but the console itself can only output 12; further lines

can be controlled using networked DMX processors over

TitanNet)

• Which buttons on the console you want to use to access them

(either physical buttons or touch buttons)

• Particular option settings for each fixture.

Before you start rigging, you can use the console to

work out the DMX addresses for the fixtures in your rig.

Patch them on the console (or simulator), then press

View, Patch to show the Patch View window. This will

use the DMX channels as efficiently as possible without

leaving any gaps.

By default, DMX lines 1-4 are linked to the 4 XLR outputs on the

console. If you want to change this or use other lines, go to the DMX

Settings window in System mode – see section

12.3.6 on page 196 .

3.1 Patching new fixtures or dimmers

3.1.1 Fixture select buttons and handles

To control intelligent fixtures or dimmer channels, they must be

patched to a fixture button in the Fixtures workspace window.

If the Fixtures window is not shown, press the Fixtures button to the

right of the screen to show it, or press

View then [Show workspace

window] then [Fixtures].

Fixture buttons can be shown either in pages with Page buttons, or

you can use the scroll bar on the right to show different pages. Use

the [Pages Show/Hide] button on the right of the screen to select

1 2 ... 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 ... 255 256
