-This is a virtual point on the stage which moving fixtures can be programmed to point at. This allows the desk to reference the focus points, rather than an absolute pan and tilt position to allow offline programming, and to be able to move between venues since only the focus points have to be reprogrammed, rather than every cue.+This is a virtual point on the stage which moving fixtures can be programmed to point at.

 ====Soft-Patching==== ====Soft-Patching====
-Commonly refered to as "Patching". The process of mapping the channels on the desk to the DMX addresses of the dimmable circuits. (E.g. The default one-to-one patch on the Element sets channel 1 on the desk to control the dimmer with a DMX address of 1). For hard-patching see [[wiki:glossary:lighting#hard-patching|here]].+//(See also [[wiki:lighting:lighting_glossary#hard-patching|hard-patching]])//\\
