Input patching
Changing the input patching
CL series consoles and I/O devices feature two types of patching: Dante audio network
patching and CL console internalpatching.
For Dante audio network patching, you will use the DANTE INPUT PATCHwindow. Inthis
window, youcan patch the CLconsole and I/Odevice inputs. Sixty-four (64) channels can be
input from a Dante audio network to a CL series console. Youcan choose up to 64 channels
from a maximum of 512 channels (logical value) of Dante audio network signals. Select the I/
O device (up to 64 channels) that you want to control from the CL series console.
Then, route the input signals (that were patched in the DANTE INPUT PATCHscreen) to
channels on the CL series console. Todo this, choose input ports from DANTE 1-64 inthe
GAIN/PATCH screen.
NOTE
By default, DANTE 1-64 are assigned to input channels1-64.
Output patching
Use the OUTPUT PORT screen to patch the CL console's output channels and Dante audio
network. In this window, assign output channel signals to DANTE 1-64ports.
NOTE
By default, MIX 1 - 24 are assigned to DANTE 1 - 24, MATRIX 1 - 8 are assigned to DANTE 25
- 32, STEREO L/R are assigned to DANTE 33/34, and MONO is assigned to DANTE 35.
Next, patch the output signals from DANTE 1-64 (assigned in the OUTPUT PORT SETUP
screen) to I/O rack outputs. Use the OUTPUT PATCH screen of the I/O RACK to make these
assignments.
STEP
1. Use the Bank Select keys in the Centralogic section to select the input channels that
you want to control.
2. Press the channel number/channel name field on the OVERVIEW screen.
3. Select the type of port in the category select list on the PATCH/NAME screen, and
use the port select buttons to select the input port.
