Now that we have created a new show file and explored the software interface a bit, it's time to controlling some RGB instrumets. Pro-Tip: Patching can also be represented as assigning a value to an address. When controlling RGB LED lighting fixtures, each address might control a level of color intensity. By mixing intensity levels of RGB, many colors can be achieved. | |
| 1.) Press the F9 key several times, until your screen is clear of the Browser Window. There are multiple tabs in the window layout, but let's focus on the 1 Live Table Patched tab. |

We've previously discussed the channels/patches that represent the overhead circuits. These circuits had an electrical value (0-100%) that represents the intensity of the light. However, when considering RGB lighting, each color has its own intensity value. Some RGB instruments may have at least 3 or more separate values (1 for Red, 1 for Green, 1 for Blue) defining its color output. Luckily, our LED walls are all mapped intelligently to help users change them. | |
| 2.) Scrolling in the Live table window will reveal a convenient table labeled DMX512 Decoder 3CH RGB. | |
3.) Each of these Channels controls the RGB and intensity values for each instrument on the set wall. Here is a breakdown: 150-155 = Light Box Stack, Stage Left (Bottom to Top) 156-161 = Light Box Stack, Stage Right (Bottom to Top) 162 = Top Rails, Wall A 163 = Bottom Rails, Wall A 164 = Top Rails, Wall B 165 = Bottom Rails, Wall B 166 = Top Rails, Wall C 167 = Bottom Rails, Wall C 168 = Top Rails, Wall D 169 = Bottom Rails, Wall D | |

| 4.) Press F7 to control the Attributes | |
