Working with Moving Light (ML) Fixtures
Patching ML Fixtures
Use the Fixture Patch display to patch one or more ML fixtures at a time. When you patch
multiple fixtures at once, Start Channels and DMX512 Start addresses will auto-increment
to the next available address. Note that resulting Intensity Channels are identified in the
table. Moving lights are selected by fixture number for control.
Patch moving light fixtures:
Step 1: Press [Setup] [1][5] [Enter] to view the Moving Light Functions menu.
Step 2: Press [2] [Enter] to view the moving light Fixture Patch display.
Note: You can also access the Fixture Patch from the Patch display. Press [S8 - Fixture Patch]
in the Patch display to switch over to the Fixture Patch.
Step 3: Press [S1 - Select Fixture] [#] [Enter] to select the fixture number you want to
patch. You can patch multiple fixtures at one time by pressing [S1 - Select
Fixture] [#] [Thru] [#] [Enter].

personality number, press [S8 - Return] [1] [Enter] to view the Personality Setup
display. Press [S8 - Return] [2] [Enter] to return to the Fixture Patch display.
