5 Patching

The Event 4 provides 2 DMX universes (labelled 1 & 2). The 416 provides a
maximum of 1024 DMX channels while the Event 408 provides a maximum of 512
DMX channels.
Faders (aka Desk Channels), Scrollers and Fixtures are patched using three similar
menus as described below. To open the Patch menu press Setup, open the Patch
submenu and then open one of the Faders, Fixtures or Scroller submenus

5.1.1 Patching Faders

Press Setup, open the Patch submenu and open the Faders submenu. The menu
contains 4 fields:
FADR
Dx
DMX
At
The Dx:DMX: and At fields are repeating fields, so it is possible to patch several
DMX channels to the one desk fader. However a DMX channel can only be patched to
one fader or fixture or scroller at a time.
Patching can be simplified by using the Next, And, Thru and @(At) buttons:
Next changes the patch menu to display the next desk Fader for patching and places
the cursor on the first DMX field.
And is used to add a DMX channel to a desk fader. The cursor is placed on the first
'not connected' DMX field (NC) for this fader.
Thru is used to add a range of DMX channels to a desk fader. The cursor is placed on
the first 'not connected' DMX field (NC) of this channel.
@(At) will place the cursor on the At field for the DMX channel.
Example:
To patch DMX channels 1, 5, 7, 9-12 to desk fader 1 and DMX channels 2, 3, 4 and 6
to desk fader 2:
Open the Patch Faders menu and select Fader 1.
Press [AND] [5] [AND] [7] [AND] [9] [THRU] [12] [NEXT] [THRU] [4] [AND] [6]
