Patch by Channel
Patching by channel is just as simple as patching by dimmer. The only difference is that the
starting point is the intensity channel. By doing it Live you can check what is patched to
each intensity channel, and then patch or unpatch more dimmer outputs to this channel.
Step 1: Open the Patch:
Menu>Patch>[Patch by channel]
Step 2: Choose between Live and Blind mode using encoder wheel 3.
Press (MENU) to confirm.
Step 3: Patching is done in the left LCD. The right LCD shows all dimmer outputs
patched to the currently selected channel - use encoder wheel 3 to scroll if there
are more than three dimmer outputs patched to the same intensity channel.
N o t e :
You can patch any of the D1-24 intensity channels to conventional dimmers. This is
useful if you need more than 48 intensity channels, or if you are using scrollers or other
accessories on conventional lights.
