Dimmer Patching

Hello All,

I am looking into getting a Colorsource 20 and I'm a little confused on the patching capabilities and want to make sure it can do what I need it to do.

I am wondering if a can patch dimmers with random DMX addresses all to one handle.  For example channels 1,2,11 and 13 all to one handle to come on as one dimmer/fixture.

I feel like this is common and should be the case, but wanted to make sure.

Thanks

    You have two options, on how you want the Channel to appear on the stage map:

    A) The Channel has just one icon.
    Use "Add Dimmer" and patch each dimmer to the same Channel, but with a different DMX address.

    B) The Channel has one icon for each Dimmer, so you can arrange them to show where the lanterns are hung.
    Select a patched dimmer, Touch "+" and choose "Duplicate Cell".

    This patches another Dimmer with a different DMX address to the same Channel, and creates a new icon in the Stage Map.
