Patching By Address
Pressing [Format] while in the patch display will toggle the mode between patch by channel and
patch by address.
[2] [0] [At] [1] [Enter] patches address 20 to channel 1. Pressing [At] will post channel to the com-
mand line while patching by address.
Additional examples of patch by address:
[5] [At] [1][0][0] [Enter] - patches address 5 to channel 100.
[2][0][3] [At] [1][2] [Enter] - patches address 203 to channel 12.
Note:
advisory to indicate this, preventing you from duplicating addresses in your patch.
Using Output Address vs Port/ Offset
The output address is the DMX or network DMX (often called EDMX) address. Examples of output
addresses are 510, 1, and 1024.
Port/ offset refers to the DMX universe or port and the offset of the address. For example, since a
single DMX port can transmit 512 addresses (known as a "universe"), the port/ offset for address
515 would look like 2/3 because address 515 is the 3rd address of universe 2.
An example of patching by port/ offset in patch by address mode is [2][/][1][0] [At] [2][0] [Enter],
which patches universe 2 address 10, or 522, to channel 20.
[At] [/] [n] [Enter] can be used to patch an address on the same universe that was last used.
Note:
move between showing the patch as it was originally entered, then the output address val-
ues, and last the port/ offset.
