Marquee can talk directly to any number of Pathport Output Nodes installed in your venue using your LAN via the Ethernet port on the back of the processor. These units are available throughout the industry by dealers selling Pathway products. For more information on Pathport visit Pathway Connectivity. The ET Raceway and Capio racks also accept the Pathport protocol.
To change the Pathport settings, enter the Patch by pressing [S1] when there are no fixtures selected.
Note:
The softkeys are sensitive to your current fixture
selection (i.e., if you have moving lights selected, [S1] will not be
Patch). To enter the patch, regardless
of what the softkeys are displaying use the mouse to select the Patch icon 
above the
Cue List Directory. You can also press [BKSP]
to deselect your fixtures without Releasing
them.
On new shows, the DMX outputs on the back of your console hardware are mapped to Marquee Outputs 1 through 1024. You can configure the Output Devices by clicking the [+] sign in the upper left hand pane of the display:
Click on the cell to the right of Pathport to open the output configuration combo:
Choose how many XDMX universes you want to output and return to the Live display. These setting are saved in the show file. Your Pathport network will now show Active DMX on Pathport Output nodes that are configured to listen on the selected universes. In Pathport Manager, you must set up the Output nodes to either listen on these XDMX addresses OR on the Quick Patch universes.
For more information on patching within XDMX universes, see ShowNet.
