 Quantity: allows you to enter the quantity of fixtures to patch.
 Location: sets the Universe (A, B etc) and starting DMX slot number.
 Use custom interval: when ticked, quantities of fixtures greater than 1 will be spaced
apart in the patch by the number slots that you enter in the box.
 Unit #: sets the unique identifying number for each fixture, shown in front of the fixture
name. It is used to select a fixture when using “command line programming” and to
identify fixtures in the Programmer’s “Intensities” tab.
 Name: The name of the fixture from the library is used by default. To change the name,
click in the box then enter your own name. Clarity automatically appends a number
after each name to aid identification.
 Flow onto empty/new universes: When ticked, if the selected fixtures require more
DMX slots than there are available on the current universe, then the fixtures will be
patched to the next empty universe or a new (empty) universe will be created.
11.4 CLONE FROM OTHER FIXTURE(S)
Cloning is an advanced feature of Clarity. If you are reading this manual for the first time or
just want to patch some fixtures you can skip this section. Cloning allows you to substitute
different fixtures in a show or to add more fixtures of the same type without the need to
reprogram the show. An example of cloning is described below.
In the Add devices dialog box above, if you click in the Clone from other fixtures check
box, the Patch button becomes a Next button and clicking it allows you to clone the
programming (presets and cues) of any patched fixture(s) to the new fixture(s) that you are
patching. Clicking Next reveals the clone dialog box.
The new fixtures being patched are automatically selected as the Destination Devices.
All existing patched fixtures are available in the Available Devices pane.
Choose the source device(s) by selecting them in the Available Devices pane, then transfer
your selection to the Source Devices pane by clicking >>.
Incorrectly selected Source Devices can be moved back to the Available Devices pane by
selecting them and clicking <<.
