DMX Patchbook

Keep a clear, editable DMX address plan for a theatre, touring rig or installation. DMX Patchbook is a local patch notebook for Android phones and tablets: record fixtures, inspect occupied spans and prepare files for your crew. FIXTURE-FIRST PATCHING Keep up to 100 shows, 2,048 fixture rows per show and 1–16 universes of 512 channels. Record unit number, fixture label, kind, mode, footprint, universe, start address, position, circuit or node port, and crew notes. Inclusive end addresses are calculated from the footprint you enter. Search by unit, label, mode or position. ADDRESS CHECKS A tappable 512-channel map shows occupied and shared channels. Inspect connected overlap groups and edit the affected fixtures. Find next free address locates a contiguous block for the entered footprint, excluding the fixture being edited. Invalid address ranges block address exports; unresolved overlaps require confirmation and are marked as a draft. ACTUAL CREW FILES Create a PDF patch report in A4 or US Letter, a quoted UTF-8 fixture CSV, a plain-text handoff or a JSON show backup. Preview the actual generated PDF before using Android Save or Share. Each generated file stays linked to its source; changing the show disables delivery of the previous file until you export again. The handoff screen includes the file size and SHA-256 hash. IMPORT AND BACKUP Import an entire CSV into a preview, then create a separate show. Invalid imports keep your current library. Download the CSV template to see the supported columns. Restore existing iOS v1 show arrays and schemaVersion 1 JSON backups as independent copies, or explicitly replace the library. Create a complete library backup from Settings. PHONE AND TABLET Phones use Patch, Checks and Handoff navigation. Wide tablets keep the fixture list beside its selected fixture details and channel map. Dark, light and system appearance are available. Ordinary launch starts empty; an optional fictional Rivergate theatre rig lets you try the workflow. LOCAL WORKSPACE One paid download. No account, ads, subscription, in-app purchases, tracking, developer analytics, cloud sync or developer file uploads. No Internet permission; Android backup is disabled. Files remain local unless you choose a system Save or Share destination. Those destinations follow their own policies. Keep independent backups before uninstalling or clearing app data. SUPPORTED SCOPE CSV imports up to 8 MB, JSON backups up to 25 MB and PDF reports up to 120 pages. Keep up to 50 generated files and 128 MB; save needed copies, then clear generated files in Settings. This is a manually entered address planner. It does not transmit DMX, ArtNet or sACN, discover fixtures, control consoles, verify fixture modes or certify the physical rig. Checks inspect the values you enter. Verify the actual equipment and inspect generated files before handoff. Regional store prices vary.

Initial Android release: multi-universe fixture patching, address map and overlap checks, next-free allocation, CSV import preview, actual PDF preview, JSON backups and native Android Save/Share.
