3.8.1 Patch
Each GenVI dimmer unit numbers its channels from channel 1 through to channel 12.
The patch menu allows you to patch (connect) DMX slots (addresses) from your DMX lighting
controller to GenVI channel numbers. Patches are often performed in contiguous blocks of
addresses.
Note: The DMX Address button on the “DMX Address” home page provides a rapid method
of patching all of the dimmers in one GenVI unit to sequential DMX slots, starting from a DMX
address that you select. See section 3.3.1.1
The “Patch” menu allows you to individually patch dimmers channels to DMX slots. Individual
patches are required when;

A particular DMX slot number from the lighting controller is to control a particular GenVI
dimmer channel number.

A single DMX slot number is to control multiple GenVI channel numbers.
To individually patch dimmers channels to DMX addresses press Config, DMX, Patch.
