CHAPTER TWO

2. Patching

In this chapter: how to set up the Pearl to control dimmers and fixtures.

• patching dimmers

• patching moving light fixtures

• setting addresses on the fixtures

So, you have your fixtures and dimmers all connected up with DMX

cables and the Pearl connected to the end of it. (If you have a big rig,

you might find it easier to learn the basics

using a few dimmers and a few moving

lights, and leave the rest of it till you’re an

expert).

First you need to allocate each fixture or

dimmer to a preset fader on the Pearl, so

that you can tell it which of the fixtures or

dimmers you want to control at any time.

The bottom fader and the buttons below it

(the picture shows some) are called the

handle for the dimmer or fixture, because

you use it to take control of the fixture. The

fader will control the intensity of the dimmer

or fixture, the “Swop” button is used when

programming to select the dimmer or

fixture. In Run mode the Flash and Swop

buttons function as flash buttons.

You also need to tell the Pearl what type of fixture is allocated to each

handle. When you have entered this information, the Pearl can tell you

what DMX addresses to set on your fixtures and dimmers to match the

settings it is using. If you prefer, you can set your fixtures and dimmers

beforehand and tell the Pearl what DMX addresses it should be using.

This setup process is called Patching.

You can patch up to 240 fixtures and

dimmer channels on the Pearl. There are 4

“pages” of 60 handles, selected using the

“Pages of Fixtures” buttons below the

numeric keypad.

Tiger: The Pearl Tiger only has 30 handles

per page.

The Pearl controls dimmers and fixtures

slightly differently, so we will look at each

in turn.

2.1 Clearing the Pearl - Wipeall

It’s always a good idea to clear the Pearl’s memory before you start a

new setup. This ensures that you won’t get confused by any peculiar

settings left by the previous user.
