Patching the input ports

You can assign input channel patches into two groups (A and B) and switch between these groups. This function is convenient in the following applications:

  • Assigning back-up patches as group B, and switching to this group in case of emergency.
  • Quickly switching between the input channel groups depending on the programs on the stage or situations.
  1. Press the PATCH button on the menu bar to access the PATCH screen.
  1. Press the INPUT tab.
  1. Use the knob in the upper right to display the desired input ports.
  1. Use the knob in the lower left corner to display the input channels.
  1. Press the desired grid cell to patch a desired channel.
NOTE
  • You can patch a single input port to multiple input channels, but you cannot patch multiple input ports to a single input channel.
  • Input ports for an I/O rack that is not assigned to the TWINLANe network will not be displayed. During off-line setting, no I/O racks will be displayed unless the DSP engine has been set as the word clock leader. If you want to patch the input ports for an I/O rack while off-line, set the DSP engine as the word clock leader temporarily to assign the I/O rack to the TWINLANe network band.
