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
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
now grayed out and there's a fixture name in the IDs that are occupied.
The same happens in the
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 .
Change the fixture type
You can change the fixture type of your already patched fixtures. The console will do it's very best to replace the
programmed values. If you change the fixture type on a fixture you have already programmed, then the console
will keep as much of the data as possible. It'll try to convert the data to the nearest value. E.g. if you have
programmed some LED wash lights and then replace them with something that only have a color wheel, then the
console will try to select the nearest matching color on the wheel. This is not a fool proof system. So it's a good
idea to program using presets. That makes it easier to correct the programming after the fixture type change.
