ice Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 As stated in the manual: Notes - Patching Generics (Bull Frog) The generic channels may be patched to either DMX universe (A or . The universe identifier (A or is displayed on the Manual Patch screen (eg A123 represents universe A, DMX channel 123). When in the Manual Patch screen, the EDIT button can be used to toggle between the two universes. Good luck! Quote > 500 posts, time for a new T-shirt?

elli Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 does that mean that i can patch another channel to B 123 eg does it increase the desk from 96 channels to 192 channels? if not I don't understand the use of it, HELP!!!!

K-Nine Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 The Bull Frog has 96 generic channels and up to 24 fixtures. Some larger fixtures require in excess of 20 channels per fixture. If you had 24 fixtures at 20 channels each that would require 480 channels of DMX leaving a mere 32 channels for your dimmers. Therefore in these situations it is sensible to patch your fixtures on one universe and your generic channels on the other. Remember also that each generic channel may be patched to more than one DMX address.

Exstage T.S Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 so how why is there 2 dmx outputs on the FAT FROG , ok ive not looked into it greatly 2 universies should mean 1024 dmx channels right ? so why does the desk only ever list 512? am i missing something ? id like to use univers A for generics and univers B for fixtures , is it possible on the fat frog Thanks Sam Quote Elliott Silk & Sam Raby Exstage Theatre Services www.exstagetheatreservices.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi Sam The desk has dual DMX outputs, so it can output two identical sets of 512 channels (which negates the need for a DMX splitter). The Bull Frog and Mambo Frog desks in the range have seperate DMX universes, giving 1024 channels, as do the new Leap Frog 48 and Leap Frog 96 desks. I hope this helps clear things up, Peter Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exstage T.S Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 ok thanks makes a bit more sence now althought 1024 channels woulda been more use than a splitter Quote Elliott Silk & Sam Raby Exstage Theatre Services www.exstagetheatreservices.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
