90 Eos Titanium, Eos, and Gio Operations Manual
Swapping Channels
Channels can be swapped for each other in patch:
• [1] {Swap} [2] [Enter]
This syntax will replace channel 1's data with channel 2's and vice versa in patch and throughout
the entire show.
Unpatch a Channel
To unpatch a channel while in patch you can press:
• [n] {Unpatch} [Enter]
The {Unpatch} softkey, will reset all the properties of the channel to the default. This includes
removing the device type if specified.
To retain all the elements of the channel, besides the address, you would instead use:
• [n] [At] [0] [Enter]
Unpatched channels may also have data stored.
Deleting Channels
It is possible to delete channels in patch. Deleting channels is different from unpatching in that
deleted channels cannot be manipulated or have data stored for them. When deleted, the channel
numbers will still be visible in the live/blind display, but the channel graphic will be removed from the
display.
For Example:
To delete channels in the patch display, press:
• [6] [Thru] [1] [0] [Delete] [Enter] [Enter]
-or-
• [Delete] [1] [Thru] [1] [0] [Enter] [Enter]
Using {Offset} in Patch
Using the {Offset} feature in patch allows you to force a numerical offset between the starting
address of channels in patch or for offsetting your channel selection. This feature is useful when
you want to start your addresses at some known multiplier.
• [1] [Thru] [5] [At] [1] {Offset} [3] [1] [Enter] - fixtures will be patched with a patch address
offset of 31 channels, allowing you to have additional space within the patch for a given fixture
type regardless of configuration or personality.
• [1] [Thru] [2] [0] {Offset} [2] [At] [1] {Offset} [2] [0] [Enter]- selects every other channel in
the list and patches them with an offset of 20 addresses.
N o t e : Move To and Swap always impact the entire show.
N o t e : For multiple parameter devices, Eos will automatically offset the addresses based
on the fixture type.
