Patch

To control dimmers and other DMX controlled devices using your Emphasis Control

System, you will need to create a patch. Emphasis uses control channels to record data in

cues and submasters. Control channels must have dimmers assigned to them, so that the

dimmers (or other DMX controlled devices) know which channel to listen to for level

information. This assignment is called the patch.

Note:

It is strongly recommended that you use Emphasis Visualization to create your patch,

especially if you are using moving light fixtures. Emphasis Visualization will aid in the

Patch process as well as reduce the potential for errors in generating paperwork.

Interactivity with Emphasis Visualization

While it is possible to create a patch for conventional dimmers in Emphasis Console, it is

better to create your patch in Emphasis Visualization. Emphasis Console only allows

you to patch conventional dimmers to channels, not moving light fixtures that use

personalities. Also, as you patch in Emphasis Console, Emphasis Visualization is entering

data into the show file for “Spare Circuits”, as it has no idea what kind of fixture you are

patching, or where it is hung in your plot. If you are not using the data management or

visualization tools for a show, feel free to patch directly in Emphasis Console.

Expression Users - It is recommended that you read “Patching and EDMX” in Emphasis

Visualization.

Patch dimmers (spare circuits) in Emphasis Console:

Step 1: On your Emphasis Facepanel or from the virtual facepanel in Emphasis

Visualization, press [Patch] to access the Patch display.

Step 2: Press [S1 - Dim] [x] [Enter], where [x] is the dimmer number, to select the

dimmer. You can use [And], [Thru] and [Except] to select ranges of dimmers.

Step 3: Press <Channel> [y] [Enter], where [y] is the channel number. You cannot

patch selected dimmers to more than one channel, nor can you patch selected

dimmers across ranges of channels.

Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 for additional dimmers.

Unpatch dimmers in Emphasis Console:

Step 1: On your Emphasis Facepanel or from the virtual facepanel in Emphasis

Visualization, press [Patch] to access the Patch display.

Step 2: Press <S1 - Dim> [x] [Enter], where [x] is the dimmer number, to select the

dimmer. You can use [And], [Thru] and [Except] to select ranges of dimmers.

Step 3: Press [S6 - Unpatch].

Note:

You cannot unpatch dimmers assigned to moving light fixtures using [S6 - Unpatch]. You

must unpatch the fixture in Emphasis Visualization.
