A Q12 connected to seven-channel intelligent fixtures. The dimmer channels and the iris channels are softpatched,
WORKING THROUGH DIMMER PACKS
Whereas mains power is likely to be supplied directly to intelligent lighting fixtures, pinspots, PAR cans, etc.
will be fed from a dimmer pack. Using a DMX dimmer like the Q Pack, it is possible to allocate DMX
addresses to 72 channels of lighting. The DMX start address is selected on the DIL switch on the front of
the Q Pack. Since the Q Pack is a six channel device, it outputs in groups of six channels, starting with the
channel selected on the DIL switch, e.g 1-6, 7-12, 13-18, 19-24 etc.
MAKING A SOFTPATCH - DMX MAPPING
The twelve analogue output channels can be transmitted as DMX data to 72 separate DMX channels. This
process is known as DMX mapping. Normally channels 1-12 are repeated sequentially throughout the 72
DMX channels (12 channels per page).
To map a DMX channel, it is necessary to identify the page in which that channel is situated and where on
that page it can be found. This is more easily achieved if any previous DMX mapping is cleared from mem-
ory (see Options section).
Note that DMX channels 1-12 appear on page 1
