72 Emphasis Console v2.0.0 User Manual

Note:

It is recommended that you NOT set patch 1-to-1 and then add moving lights. This will

create duplicate entries of “Spare Circuit” and moving lights which will, in turn, clutter the

data spreadsheet and patch display.

Range Patching

There is a softkey in the Patch display in the Emphasis Console that allows you to patch a

series of consecutive dimmers to a series of consecutive channels. If there are more

dimmers in the selected range than available channels, the dimmers will wrap around to the

starting channel in the range and continue patching. The range patch softkey is also

available in the Macro Key List and Key List Help.

Use the Range Patch feature:

Step 1: Press [Patch] to view the Patch display.

Step 2: Press <S1 - Dimmer> [x] [Thru] [y] [Enter (or Channel)] [n] [S7 - Range

Patch] to patch dimmers [x] through [y] to a corresponding range starting at

channel [n].

EDMX

Though the Patch display indicates that you are patching dimmers to channels, what you

are actually doing is patching an EDMX address to your control channel. EDMX is ETC’s

proprietary protocol for transmitting DMX information over an Ethernet network. The suite

of ETC network protocols is called ETCNet2 and is the communication method used by the

Emphasis Server and the Facepanel. ETCNet2 is also used in systems that contain Video

Nodes and DMX Nodes. The Video Node allows you to see the Facepanel display(s) and

attach a Remote Focus Unit, an optional keyboard and Remote Macro controller at a

location away from your Facepanel. The DMX Node can be configured for up to four DMX

outputs or inputs, and allows you to have DMX outputs and inputs away from your

Facepanel.

There are 32,767 addresses available in EDMX, which corresponds to 64 universes of

DMX. DMX is the industry-standard protocol for controlling dimmers from a lighting control

console. Each universe of DMX contains 512 addresses. Each Emphasis Control System

can be custom-configured to the needs of the venue, so to explain how patching to EDMX

addresses gets you industry-standard DMX at an output in a simple system, please see the

diagram below.
