ORB Operating Manual – Issue 1.0
This will patch the intensities of the six fixtures to DMX channels
101-106 on the currently selected DMX universe. The intensity
parameter requires a single DMX channel.
Type in the command: 1 THRU 6 {Fixture Part} 107 ENTER
This will patch the remaining parameters of the six fixtures to the
current DMX universe starting at address 107 on the currently
selected universe..
Unpatching Fixtures
Unpatching a fixture removes that fixtures information from the
DMX output, effectively disabling that fixture (although it may still
be manipulated, programmed and adjusted on the desk, no data
will be output to it).
The {Unpatch} key appears on the syntax keys when in Patch
mode. The behaviour of the Unpatch function is dependant upon
which Patch View is active at the time. For full information on Patch
Views, see page 37.
To unpatch a selection of fixtures from a specified universe (Outputs
or Channels view) or all universes (Fixtures view):
1 THRU 5 {Unpatch}
To unpatch an instance of a fixture from a specified universe
(Outputs or Channels view) or all universes (Fixtures view):
1 @ <address> {Unpatch}
To unpatch an instance of a fixture from a specified universe and
address (all views):
1 @ <universe>/<address> {Unpatch}
To unpatch a fixture at a specified address:
{Unpatch} <universe>/<address>
To unpatch all fixtures in a universe:
{Unpatch} <universe> ENTER
Patching a Group of Fixtures
Once programming on ORB has begun, it is possible to patch whole
groups of fixtures to DMX outputs as well. This is great for touring
productions which may have to repatch an entire part of their rig to
fit into a house rig. Group Patching is performed sequentially from
a given start address. This results in all of the fixtures of this type
being assigned one after another starting at the address you define:
Press the GROUP key, then select the group numerically. Press the
@ key, enter the DMX start address and then press the ENTER key.
For example:
GROUP n @ 1 ENTER
This will patch the entire group starting at DMX address 1 on the
selected DMX universe and increasing sequentially until the whole
group has been patched or the universe is full.
