2. Patching - Page 11

Pearl 2008 Manual - 16th July 2007

 Press the Swop button on handle 11 to patch the fixture you have

selected to handle 11.

 The display will show the block of channels occupied by the fixture.

 Patch more fixtures, or press Exit when you have finished.

You can continue to patch this type of fixture at the next free DMX

address by pressing the next Swop button you want to use. You can

also patch a range of fixtures by holding down the first button in the

range and pressing the last button, as with dimmers.

You can patch fixtures to the top faders by holding down the AVO

button and pressing the Swop button for the fader below, but if you do

this you will need to hold down the AVO button to select them when

programming as well, so it’s easiest to only patch dimmers to the top

faders as you can control dimmers just with the fader.

If you want to patch a different type of fixture, you can change the type

of fixture to be patched very easily.

To change the fixture type

 Press A [Select another fixture]

 Choose the fixture type from the list on the softkeys

 Patch as before

Note: The “preset palettes” contain 9 position, 10 colour and 10 gobo

settings. You can call back these settings instantly from the

palette buttons when you are programming. This allows you to

select, for example, “Yellow” or “Blue” instead of setting up the

value using the wheels. You can only load the preset palettes

during patching.

The Pearl has four physical DMX output lines, identified as A, B, C, D.

You can patch onto any of the four lines using E [Select a DMX line].

However, to keep it simple, stick to line A while you are learning.

2.4 Labelling the console

It’s a good idea to stick a strip of tape above the handle Swop buttons,

and write on it what is patched on each handle, such as “Mac SL”, “Mac

Centre” etc. This will help you greatly when programming as you try

and remember where you patched everything.

2.5 Addressing lights to match the Pearl

When you are patching, it’s easiest to let the Pearl allocate all the DMX

addresses, then go round to the actual dimmers and fixtures and set

the addresses to match the Pearl’s settings. This makes sure that there

are no overlaps or gaps in the DMX addresses.

You can also work out the DMX map yourself and tell the Pearl what

DMX channels to use while you’re patching, but then you need to make

sure yourself that nothing overlaps.

The Pearl can tell you the DMX address it is using for each fixture, and

in some cases can show you how to set the dip switches on the fixture.

Write down the addresses for all the fixtures, then go and set them.
