Requirements:

- MA Fixtures is patched
- MA Fixture and RDM Fixture have the same universe

  1. Open the RDM devices window. Press Setup, and tap under Show at Patch & Fixture Schedule.
    The Edit Setup opens.
  2. Tap in the lower right corner at RDM devices.
    The RDM devices window opens.
  3. To select the fixture type you like to auto-patch, tap at the corresponding fixture type under Discovered RDM FixtureTypes.
    The fixtures to the selected fixture type are displayed on the right side of the RDM devices window.
  4. To select the fixture, tap at the fixture in the table on the right screen side.
  5. Tap Auto-Patch.

The patched DMX address will be sent via RDM to the RDM fixture. The selected fixture is auto-patched. The green check marks in the field below the fixture table indicates a successful match and patch.
