Patch Channels from the Encoder LCD
You may use the encoders and LCD to patch channels in Ion. This is an alternative to using the
methods described above. The end result will be the same, this simply gives you the ability to patch
without requiring the use of the mouse.
To patch channels from the encoders and LCD:
Step 1: Press [Displays]>{Patch}. The LCD will change to display the patch interface.
Step 2: Select the channel you wish to patch.
• [9] [7] [Enter]
Step 3: Using the encoders directly above “Manufacturer”, select the manufacturer of the
fixture you want to patch. Once the manufacturer is selected, the fixtures available
from that manufacturer automatically load to the “Type” encoder.
.
Step 4: Select the desired fixture type from those available from the manufacturer using the
encoder above the “Type” field. When the desired type is displayed, press the “Type”
encoder to select the displayed fixture type.
Step 5: Change the DMX universe, if needed, using the encoder above the “Universe” field.
Step 6: Set the DMX address to the desired number using the encoder above the “Address”
field. address number is shown as 1-512 with the absolute address displayed in
parentheses. When the proper address is shown, press the encoder to select the
address. Your fixture is now patched.
Note:
If you wish to patch a standard dimmer, select “Generic” from the manufacturer list
and “Dimmer” from the fixture list. Or you can simply press the [At] key (as in
Patching a Dimmer, page 58) and dimmer is assumed.
