Patching Functions 
The Patch option in Edit Fixtures provides a simple and clear way to patch or 
repatch  fixtures,  add  duplicates,  unpatch  fixtures  and  move  the  location  of 
fixtures, if required. 
The  48  or  96  dimmers  on  the  Solution  and  Solution  XL  desks  respectively 
default to being patched to DMX addresses 1 – 48 or 1 – 96 on universe 1.  
In addition to specifying a DMX start address when assigning fixture types, the 
desk provides functions that allow you to patch or repatch individual fixtures or 
groups of fixtures to DMX output addresses on any of the DMX universes.  
It is also possible to patch a fixture to more than one DMX address in one or 
more universes. These additional patch addresses are known as duplicates. 
Select the fixture(s) to be edited. Click on the [Patch] button in the  Edit 
Fixtures Window.
