5.4 Patching a head or dimmer

The console supports a large library of heads. The console treats dimmers just like any other head -

they just happen to have a single channel. Dimmers use the "Generic Dimmer" personality.

Choose the head you wish to patch by pressing the CHOOSE HEAD soft button. The Window will change

to give you a list of heads. Select a head by pressing the touch screen. Alternatively scroll around the

Window using the cursor keys, and press ENTER when the cursor is over the correct head.

Once you have chosen a head you will be returned to the Patch Window. Press the PATCH IT soft button

to patch the head, and you will be prompted for an address to patch the head to.

Press ENTER to patch to the next free address. If you wish to patch multiple heads at fixed offsets e.g. four

Martin Mac500s at DMX channels 1,21,41,61 then enter 4/20.

To patch a head at a specific address use @. For example to patch 10 dimmers at DMX address 20 key in

10@20. To patch to the 2

universe use 10@2-20. To patch at the first free address on a universe other

than the first universe use +, e.g. for the second universe use 10@+2-1

To patch more heads, just repeat the above process.

To patch a dimmer, simply press CHOOSE DIMMER rather than CHOOSE HEAD and then patch one or

more dimmers as above.

In the Patch Window all the fields coloured yellow can be configured. To modify a field, first move the

cursor to the field, then input the new value using the keypad and keyboard, and finally press ENTER.

In this way you can modify DMX address, head number, head name and gel for each of your patched heads.

5.5 Head names and numbers

Press the VIEW HEADS soft button to check the heads you have patched, and to name and number them as

you wish. In the Patch Window all the yellow fields can be configured. To modify a field, first move the

cursor to the field, then input the new value using the keypad and keyboard, and finally press ENTER.

Multiple head names and numbers can be set at the same time by using SHIFT and the cursor keys to select

multiple items. Turning on test mode using the TEST HEAD soft button makes it easy to view each head /

dimmer in turn.

By default the VIEW HEADS view is sorted by head number. If you are setting head numbers by entering

each head number individually then you may find it easier if the view is sorted by DMX. Press the SORT

soft button and select BY DMX. Note that the sort also affects the order in the Intensities Window, the

Programmer Window and the Group Window.

5.5.1 Head Names

Head names are used to identify the Dimmer or Head. We recommend that you set the head name based on

its location (e.g. front wash / back truss SL). It is not necessary to name intelligent heads according to their

product name (e.g. Mac500) as this is already stored in the console from the personality.

5.5.2 Head Numbers

1 2 ... 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 ... 138 139
