1> Press Patch (one of the function buttons above the numeric

keypad), then [Dimmers].

2> Softkey A [DMX Line=] shows you which of the 12 DMX output

lines you are patching onto. Press A then enter a

new number (1-12) to change the line. Softkey B

shows the DMX address about to be patched. You

can change this by pressing B [Address=xx],

typing in the new address on the numeric keypad

and pressing Enter.

3> To patch a single dimmer, touch a Fixture Select

button. To patch a sequence of dimmers each to

its own button, touch and hold the Select button

for the first dimmer in the range, then touch the

last Select button in the range, then release the

first button (or you can sweep your finger along

the range). The range of dimmers will be patched

to sequential DMX addresses.

4> The Select buttons turn dark blue to show that they are

patched.

5> Repeat from step 2 for other dimmers.

• When setting the DMX address using Softkey B, you can set the

DMX line (universe) as well by entering {line}.{DMX}, for

example 2.56 will set DMX address 56 on DMX line 2.

• To see how DMX channels are patched, press View (next to the

numeric keypad) then [Fixture Patch]. The fixture patch view is

described in section

2.2.3 on page 33.

• C [User Number = xx] allows you to set a user-defined number

for each dimmer or fixture patched, to help you identify them

later. You can also edit the User Number from the Repatch

Fixture menu.

• You can patch multiple dimmer channels to a single handle. This

can be useful if, for example, you want to control all the lights

for one area together. To do this, just press the same Fixture

Select button again when patching the new dimmer channel.

You can tell the dimmer channel has patched OK because the

DMX address will increase by 1.

2.1.3 Patching moving light fixtures

Moving light fixtures are more complicated to patch than dimmers

because they have more attributes to control, such as pan, tilt, colour

etc., whereas a dimmer channel just has intensity.

Titan Mobile uses a “personality” system to control fixtures. This

means you don’t have to know how each fixture works, you just tell

Titan Mobile what you want to do and it will send the right control

commands. There is a personality file in Titan Mobile for most types

of fixture, which tells it what attributes are available and how to

control them. If Titan Mobile does not have the personality for your

fixture, you can download further personalities from the Avolites

website or Avolites can create one for you. See section

11 on page

122 for details of how to find personalities.
