User's Manual
Once selected, type TAB to move the cursor to the right box. Now type in [Channel List][@][Starting Address].
In this example, we'll patch 10 - VL3000 Spots (Mode 1) starting at address 4.1. You can also type the absolute
address number here as well.
Note: All of the fixtures are grouped under the brand name and can be accessed by clicking on the small plus (+) to
the left of the brand name. The brand will then be expanded showing all of the models available.
2) Click on the fixture model you want to patch and you will see a picture of the light on the right.
3) When you move the mouse over the "Dimmers" section of the window, click the mouse on the dimmer
where the fixture starts and, while holding the mouse button down, drag the dimmer over the channel you
want to patch.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: When intelligent fixtures are selected, the dimmers will be highlighted in a grey background
to show the number of dimmers that the fixture uses.
The channel detail will now show the newly patched fixture followed by the "@" symbol and the start dimmer
number.
You can patch multiple intelligent fixtures at one time (consecutively) by changing the quantity (Qty) value at the top
right of the "Available Fixtures" section. If more than one fixture is patched then additional fixtures will occupy the
channels following the first one you drag the patch to.
Once you have patched an intelligent fixture you can add more to the patch by holding down the shift key on the
desired fixture and pressing the down arrow.
Other Information
The channels grid on the left hand side of the window also allows more information about the patch to be stored.
Some of the fields directly influence the output of the channel while other are used for reference to help program you
show.
20. RDM
RDM is an extension to the DMX protocol that provides bi-directional communications with RDM compatible
devices and fixtures.
Clicking on the RDM button will bring up a separate window for RDM control.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: Not all output devices support RDM functionality. The universe selection in the RDM
window will only display hardware that supports RDM. If your device is not listed then you will not be able to use the
RDM functionality.
