• To show the DMX address for fixtures, press Window Open then

Patch. To show patch details for a single fixture press

Window

Open then the fixture select button. On touch buttons the DMX

address is displayed on the top right of the button in the format

{DMX line}.{Address} (this display can be disabled using the

context menu).

• If a patch goes over the capacity of a DMX line, the console will

patch at the beginning of the next line. For example if you try

to patch a Mac500 at channel 1.510, it will actually be patched

at 2.1.

3.1.4 Visualiser Auto Patch

If you want to use Visualiser, start it by pressing Window Open then

[Open Workspace Window] then [Visualiser]. Visualiser will open in

one of the workspace windows with an automatic representation of

your patch.

You will see the fixtures laid out on screen in handle number order.

You can then use the Visualiser controls to reposition the fixtures if

you wish.

3.1.5 Patching fixtures with multiple cells (sub fixtures)

Some fixtures have multiple cells of control within a single fixture (for

example an RGB LED batten). To avoid having to patch every cell as

a single fixture, you can patch the whole fixture as one “super

fixture” and each cell will then appear as a “sub fixture”. This is very

useful when laying out fixtures for use with the Pixel Mapper as it

allows you to move and rotate the fixture as a single fixture, but keep

individual control over the cells.

If you access the fixture using the handle it is patched on, all cells of

the fixture will be controlled together. To access the sub fixtures

independently, press Unfold then the select button of the fixture. In

the Fixtures workspace, the current page of fixtures will be replaced

by select buttons for each individual fixture cell. You can also select

subfixtures from the numeric keypad. See section

4.1.4 on page 60

for more details of working with fixture cells.

To go back to normal, press Unfold then [Exit Unfold].

The Sub fixtures feature requires an updated personality

file. If sub fixtures does not work on your fixture you

may need to obtain the latest fixture personality from

Avolites.

3.1.6 Patching by RDM

RDM (Remote Device Management) is a system which allows the

console to interrogate the lighting rig to find out what’s there. It can

then patch itself to match the existing DMX addresses. You can also

remotely change modes and other settings on the fixture.

Fixtures must be equipped with RDM for this to work;

many fixtures are not. Also if you have DMX buffers or

splitters in your rig, they must be RDM enabled or they

will block the information being sent back to the

1 2 ... 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 ... 250 251
