DMX Patch

Add DMX IO

Add a sACN and/or ArtNet IO connection.

Add DMX maps to the fixtures

!If the DMX merging should happen on the same “universe”, make sure that you add seperated IO´s for In- and Output on seperated network interfaces.

*See here the different supported dmx merging modes.

Map Out

Select a fixture within the object tree and add a map output for any single fixture to “drive” the light fixture.

Map In

If and external lighting desk is used please also add a map input.

Map In Controller

If the DMX merge should happen within SP it´s also recommend to add a “Controller Map In” to remote control the merge properties from the lighting desk.

*See the needed DMX channels here.
We recommend to modify the fixture profile within the lighting desk with the addional controller parameter for each fixture.

Patcher

The patcher floating window is patching the selected maps automatically by given values.
Offset is an addional values to generates gaps between the maps.
The needed gaps will be applyed automatically to avoid “overlapping”, also by levaing “Offset” at 0.
