Template for scroller with fixture intensity

Hi all

 

We have many scrollers on PARCans using a Congo Jnr. What we would like to do is create a template which has the PARCan as the intensity and the scroller as the colour attribute on the same fixture. Unfortunately our dimmers are hard patched to the first 200 odd channels. Aparantly on some desks it's possible to do this by giving each fixture 2 dmx channels (one for the dimmer and one for the scroller). Unfortunately we have not found a way of doing this on the Congo. Our other idea was to have a set offset between the dimmer and the scroller but, doing this, the desk does not allow anything to be patched between the two channels.

 

Is there a way to do this? 

 

Thanks

  • For referance, every console channel can have the following patched at the same time:

    • Any number of dimmers/individual DMX addresses. These follow the Intensity of the channel.
    • One (1) Device. This device can have any number of individual Attributes. 

    So for scrollers and moving lights with an external dimmer, you patch the Dimmer and the Device seperately.

    As Sarah mentions, if you've already patched the Dimmer, you'll need to untick the "Replace Existing Dimmers" tickbox in the Patch Wizard.
    I suspect that this is where your confusion is arising.
