DMX Hookup

Expanding a bit on Ueli's post,

Not sure what the purpose of the splitters serve.  In a simple setup as you've described, you would usually just run the Ion universe 1 output to the house dimmers, then run universe 2 to the LED's and movers.  That's a common setup but you do want to make sure the Ion outputs are configured correctly as per Ueli's post.

Then, needing to patch the desired channels for the house dimmers onto addresses for universe 1, the syntax would be (from patch and assuming the first/left column is channels) "1, @, 1, /, XX, Enter".  The 1 and / syntax tells the console you are patching to an address on universe 1.  If you use a "2, /" syntax it knows universe 2.  Note that you don't need to do the "1, / " syntax for remaining universe 1 channels as Ion assumes you are still working in universe 1. 

Then patch LED's and movers, first telling Ion.that the channel is going to control moving lights.   As example, when I use my 6 Martin MAC 700's I type "Ch, 301, thru, 306, Enter" then find the Type button, scroll to  and select Martin, MAC700 Profile to let Ion know what fixture it's dealing with (if there's a fixture profile, Ion then knows how many address to allocate per fixture). I would then patch as "Ch, 301, @, 2, /, 1, Enter".  If I had add'l 700's I could then do "Ch, 302, Thru, 306, @, 2, /, Next".  Ion would then know to allocate 23 address per fixture and would complete the patch assignments.

Ditto for the LED's.  

The question as to Cue on a wheel, I assume you want to grab all the channels in a cue on the wheel.  The easiest method is using Select Active Enter, which grabs as manual, all active channels.  You can use the wheel to adjust levels.
