Sofpatch Proportional Patching

Pantograph from EPIC, Inc.

A new optional feature for use with the Kliegl Performance Memory
Control System has. been announced. The Performance Sofpatch
system represents a new and unique solution for controlling large
numbers of dimmers and lighting instruments. The Sofpatch system
allows individual or groups of dimmer-per-light circuits to be electronically patched to any given control channel by the Performance
console. This system adds a new dimension to control flexibility while
eliminating the bUlky, cumbersome, and expensive method of load
patching via a cross-connect panel.
The Performance Sofpatch systtlm may also be used to set up
separate patch assignments for the manual back-up system which is
integral to the control console, and to perform the standard diagnostic routines with which the console is equipped. The patch assignments set up with the Sofpatch system may also be stored on the
same disc unit which is used for library storage of show memories.
The Performance Proportional Patch System redefines and simplifies the control of large numbers of dimmers and may be added to
any Performance Memory Lighting Control Console with a minimum
of effort.
