how to patch house lights in Unison panel to run through Ion

We have just upgraded our space and now will be running house lights and work lights through the Ion console. What are the steps soft patch the dmx addresses from the Unison panel to the console. We have both dimmer and relay options.  Not sure how to patch these, since there is only a dmx address.

Thank you,

  • So you have the DMX address of your house light dimmers and relays? If you have the DMX addresses you can patch them as standard fixtures in EOS. Channel xx [@] Address xx. (or variation of)

    Things to think about / pay attention to.

    1. You say Unison panel, what kind of Unison "panel" and what kind of control? (You might have multiple control points and may need a priority structure to manage them)

    2. You'll want to patch your relay addresses appropriately so that you're not fading through them. Can you do it, yes, is it the "best" or most efficient, no.

    3. You mention relays... are your houselights powered by relay and controlled by DMX/sACN? If so think about how/when you want your relays powered.
