If you specify a start address that conflicts with other channels already patched, the
conflicting channels will be unpatched after a confirmation from the user.
• {Interface} - An optional field used to specify what network interfaces should be used for the
output. When the field is left blank, the default data output is used as selected in the
{Network} section of the ECU. For more information about setting defaults, see
. The interface options available are Default, ACN, EDMX, ArtNet, Avab
UDP, and DMX, depending on what has been enabled in the {Network} section of the ECU
for the console. If the output is the default, as drawn from the settings in the ECU, this field
will be blank.
• {Flash} - will bring a channel or address to full, and then every other second the level will
move to 15%. That will hold for 1 second, and then the level will return to full. The channel or
address will keep flashing until the command line is cleared.
Attributes
The {Attributes} area of patch provides you with optional fields for additional information and
details relating to your patched fixtures.
The {Attributes} settings that apply to conventional fixtures are {Preheat}, {Proportion}, {Curve},
{LD Flags}, and {GM Exempt}. Additional settings that apply to moving lights and accessories are
{Fan Curve}, {Invert Tilt}, {Invert Pan}, and {Swap P/T}.
When the selected device includes a color scroller, a {Scroller} button will be displayed in the CIA,
and when the selected device includes a color wheel, a gobo wheel, or an effect wheel, {Color
Wheel}, {Gobo Wheel}, or {Effect Wheel} buttons will appear.
With a channel selected, click the desired attribute button and use the keypad to set the attribute
value.
• {Preheat} -This field allows you to specify an intensity value to preheat incandescent
filaments. When a preheat flag is applied to a cue, any channels that are fading from zero to
an active intensity and have been assigned a preheat value in patch will preheat in the
immediately preceding cue.
•
[1] {Preheat} [0] [3] [Enter] - channel 1 is assigned a patched preheat value of 3%.
The preheat flag is applied to a cue as an attribute when the cue is recorded.
• {Proportion} - An attribute to set a modifier for the intensity of the device. If the patch limit is
set at 90% (for example), the actual output will always be 10% lower than the specified
intensity parameter, as impacted by the various playbacks or submasters. This value is set
numerically in a range of 0% to 200%.
•
[1] {Attributes} {Proportion} [1] [2] [5] [Enter] -applies a 125% proportion to channel
1.
•
[1] {Attributes} {Proportion} [Enter] - removes the applied proportion from channel 1.
