54 Ion Operations Manual

About Patch

Ion treats fixtures and channels as one and the same, meaning each fixture is assigned a single

control channel number. Individual parameters of that fixture, such as intensity, pan, tilt, zoom, or

iris are also associated with that same channel number but as additional lines of channel

information, not as separate channels.

You are required to enter only the simplest data to patch a device and begin programming your

show, such as the channel number, the device type (if needed), and address. Although, when you

provide more information and detail in the patch, you will have more detailed control and improved

function during operation.

One or more devices may be patched to a single channel. For example you may want to patch a

group of dimmers to the same channel. In addition you may patch multiple devices to the same

channel for building a compound or accessorized fixtures. For example a Source Four

with a color

scroller and a gobo changer may be patched to a single channel. This is referred to as a compound

channel.

Ion also allows you to create and edit the patch from the encoders and LCD. For details on this

method, see Patch Channels from the Encoder LCD, page 67.

When you open a new show file, Ion defaults to creating a 1-to-1 patch. This means that the patch

will automatically have channel 1 patched to output 1, channel 2 to output 2, and so on up to the

maximum channel count of your console.
