DMX Patching Tool

Use the DMX Patching Tool to quickly apply DMX Libraries and Patches.

The DMX Patching tool provides you a way to quickly set the DMX library and patch of a given selection of actors within the World Outliner.

A DMX library is the main data structure that holds information in regards to:

  • Controllers

  • Fixture types

  • Fixture patches

A DMX patch tracks DMX addresses, and assigns the patching of DMX-enabled fixtures.

The DMX Patching tool offers 3 functionalities:

  • Address incremental

  • Address same

  • Address and rename

The three options available for the patching tool.

Address incremental

  • Applies the selected DMX library to all selected actors.

  • Applies patches incrementally starting from the provided fixture patch.

Using the address incremental option.

Address same

  • Applies the selected DMX library to all selected actors.

  • Applies the same patch to all selected actors.

Using the address same option

Address and rename

  • Applies the selected DMX library to all selected actors.

  • Applies the same patch to all selected actors.

  • Also renames the selected actors so they match the provided patch names.
