Multipatch a fixture
You can create a multipatch fixture. It's a way to have multiple patchable DMX addresses connected to one Fixture
ID.
You select the fixture you want to multipatch and then tap Create Multipatch (in Setup - > "Patch & Fixture
Schedule"). Now you type how many extra DMX patch address you want.
This gives you extra lines in the Patch and Fixture Schedule under the fixture you selected. Each line can have their
own name and own DMX address.
The dot2 will then mirror the DMX output on these DMX addresses. The selected fixture and the multipatches share
the same Fixture ID.
Multi patch fixtures appear as extra fixtures you can position in the dot2 3D visualizer.
To accept the new multipatched fixtures you'll need to exit the
Done in the upper right corner and Apply all changes .
Add fixtures in a show that already have some fixtures
If your show already have some fixtures but you need to add new ones, then you need to pay attention to the already
existing fixtures in your show. The process is nearly the same as described above, but now your show already have
some fixtures, and since some of the settings for the fixtures need to be unique, then you'll need to add fixtures with
unique ID and patch information.
Press the Setup key and then the Patch & Fixture Schedule button. This gives us the
Schedule window. Here you can see the existing fixtures. To add more you need to tap the Add New Fixtures
button.
Now you need to adjust the five input fields to match your needs.
Some of the windows will now look a little different, since we now have fixtures in the show. If you tap the Select...
button next the ID field, you'll now see that some of the ID fields in the
out and there's a fixture name in the IDs that are occupied.
The same happens in the Select DMX Address..
Here you can now see on the universe selector on the left side of the screen that the existing fixtures are occupying
some of the DMX addresses in the universes - some of the area inside the square is filled.
You need to select available fixture ID numbers and patch addresses. This needs to be unique numbers.
When you have adjusted the green input fields to meet your requirements, then you can tap the Ok button in the
upper right corner. Then exit the
corner to confirm this is your new fixture setup. And finally confirm that you want to Apply All Changes .
