Technical Theatre Terms DictionaryTechnical Theatre Terms Dictionary
1) To cross-connect lighting circuits around the stage area to a chosen dimmer. Connecting
lanterns to dimmers.
2) Using a cross-connect panel which enables any stage lighting channels to the control desk to
control any dimmer or group of dimmers. Some large lighting boards have the facility for soft
patching - a totally electronic way of patching. Some Rock Desks have a pin patch which allows
groups of dimmers to be allocated to a particular control channel. Also applies to routing of sound
signals.
