 Press EXIT or the PATCH button to leave the Patch functions.

This gives you the maximum number of Channels accessible in Two Preset
Mode. That means that both sets of Preset Faders control each Dimmer
Channel. You have patched them to DMX output 1, so you need to ensure
that your DMX cable is in the DMX socket 1 on the back of the desk.
To run in Two Preset Mode, you need to set User Setting 4 to 2 PRESET.
(See section 12.4 Setting 4. Run Modes), as the desk defaults to WIDE
mode after a WIPEALL.

If you want to run the desk in Wide mode, repeating the above directions on
the SWOP buttons will 1 to 1 patch Channels 31 - 60 onto the top set of
Preset Faders, leaving the original 30 Channels patched on the bottom
Preset Faders. You can repeat this on each of the four Pages of Fixtures,
allowing you to patch up to 240 Dimmer Presets in this way.

If you wish to patch a number of Dimmers or Fixtures in consecutive order
you can do this as follows.

Make sure the desk is loaded with the Fixture type you want to patch, that
you are on the correct Page of Fixtures, and that you have the correct DMX
line selected. Type in the start address of the lowest Fixture if you have
preaddressed the lights.

 Press the ADD or SWOP button of the Handle where you want the first

Fixture patched.

•

 Press the ADD or SWOP button of the Handle where you want the last

Fixture patched.

 Release the first button, then the second button.

Some devices such as par cans with colour changers on them or VL5

Wash Luminaires use a Dimmer to drive the lamp in the Fixture. In this case
you want to be able to patch a Dimmer channel in with the rest of the Fixture
so that it can be accessed as one unit.

Just patch the Fixture in the normal way onto a Preset SWOP button, and
the Dimmer channel associated with it onto the same button.

You can repatch the DMX addresses connected to the Handles by
repatching the Dimmer or device originally on the Handle but with the new
DMX address entered. Any Programming involving the Fixture will be
preserved.
