Page 10 - 2. Patching

Pearl 2008 Manual - 16th July 2007

You can patch multiple dimmer channels to the top faders by holding

down the AVO button, then holding the first swop button, then pressing

the last button of the range to be patched.

While you are in Patch mode, the VDU screen shows a DMX channel

grid to tell you which

channels you have

patched so far and

which are free.

Dimmers and fixtures

are identified by

different letters,

dimmers are always

“a”.

You can also display

the patch on the LCD

screen by pressing

View (on the numeric

keypad) then C [DMX patch] (shows which handle each DMX channel is

allocated to) or D [Fixture patch], which shows a list in handle order.

2.3 Patching moving light fixtures

Moving light fixtures are controlled slightly differently to dimmers; a

dimmer only has one controllable attribute, intensity. But a moving

light fixture can have many attributes, such as pan, tilt, colour, gobo

etc. When you patch a fixture, you will see on the VDU screen that it

occupies a block of DMX channels rather than just one. However, the

principle is still the same.

The Pearl has personality files for most lighting fixtures in the known

universe, and these are stored internally in the console. If you want to

use a personality not available in the console, you can load it from a

personality disk, a wide range of which can be downloaded from the

Avolites website. See section 12 in the reference manual for details of

how to download personalities.
