Input and output patching
This chapter explains how to edit the input patching and output patching, how to connect inserts, and
how to use direct outputs.
CL console internal patching and Dante audio
network patching
The following diagram shows the signal flow through the CL series console, I/O devices, and Dante
audio network.
Input patching
CL series consoles and I/O devices feature two types of patching: Dante audio network patching and
CL console internal patching.
For Dante audio network patching, you will use the DANTE INPUT PATCH popup window. In this
window, you can patch CL console and I/O device inputs. Sixty-four (64) channels can be input from a
Dante audio network to a CL series console. You can choose up to 64 channels from maximum of 512
channels (logical value) of Dante audio network signals. Select the I/O devices (within 64 channels) that
you want to control from the CL series console.
Then, route the input signals (that were patched in the DANTE INPUT PATCH popup window) to
channels on the CL series console. To do this, choose input ports from DANTE 1–64 in the GAIN/
PATCH popup window.
NOTE
By default, DANTE 1–64 are assigned to input channels 1–64.
Output patching
Use the OUTPUT PORT popup window to patch CL consoles output channels and Dante audio
network. In this window, assign output channel signals to DANTE 1–64 ports.
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 popup window) to
I/O device outputs. Use the OUTPUT PATCH popup window of the I/O device to make these
assignments.
