Dual DMX512 cross patch and playback
The Cue-Patch™ 1024 is a multifunction solution for DMX512-A soft patching, backup and show control. The product provides two DMX512-A inputs and two DMX512-A outputs.Soft Patch Operation:
Any input channel can be patched to control any group of output channels.
Programming is performed either using the in-build LCD and keypad, or using the RS232 PC link.
Editing of patch information is simplified by the extensive use of keypad commands such as And, Thru and At.
A total of 10 patches can be recorded.
Cue & Sequence Playback:
Cue-Patch can record 400 full level Cues and 20 Sequences.
Cues and Sequences may be programmed using the LCD & keypad.
Playback is initiated from the menu controls. Additionally, any four playback or patch change commands can be assigned to the four macro keys.
Cue-Patch also features an Auto-Backup mode. Any Cue can be selected to fade in should the received DMX512 signal fail.
An additional eight macro's can be triggered by eight remote trigger inputs.
Display & Analysis:
Users of Micro-Scope will be familiar with the display and analysis functions provided by Cue-Patch. Received data from either universe can be displayed in a range of data formats which include Bargraph, Decimal and Percent.
Cue-Patch is also able to transmit DMX512 test patterns for rig checking when the main console is not available.
Please note that the PC editor CP-Edit is no longer an active product. It is still available for download but will not operate on any version of Windows above Windows 95.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating systems can I use with CP-Edit for Common-Sense?
Windows 95 / Windows 98 / Windows ME. -
Cannot set a fade time below 1 second.
When setting fade times, you must define whether the range is from 1 second to 10 hours or from 0.1s to 1 hour. The range is set by pressing the soft key marked "1s/.1s" -
I need a system to take control of the show if the lighting console fails.
We have a number of products that can do this. Micro-Scope 3a can monitor the console and switch to a static backup scene if the console fails. Cue-Patch can fade to a static or dynamic scene on console failure. Four-Play provides tracking backup of both DMX and Art-Net with up to 4 universes. Dimmer-Switch has a live DMX fader that offers manual backup. Rail-Flip is a 4 universe DMX512 change-over with manual or automatic fail-over.
