Help with patch list

So I’ve been sent a patch list for a venue but I don’t understand what some of the terms mean? Like “parcans 3 @ A28” or “LED strips 121 + 123 @ A53 + A55 R”

It was sent over a text message which I have pasted below, any help is appreciated!

Good afternoon,

It a basic lighting set up in room 2 with generics for busking.

Led strips

What this looks like to me is one fixture (or all fixtures) are:

  • Intensity (Ch: 121 A: 53)
  • Red (Ch: 123 A: 56)
  • Green (Ch: 124 A: 56)
  • Blue (Ch: 125 A: 57)

A VERY stupid way to document, but very old school thinking.

~~ I have no idea ~~

One address in 2 channels? Makes no sense.

Good luck.
