DANTE INPUT PATCH window
Displayed when you press the DANTE INPUT PATCH button in the I/O DEVICE screen
(DANTE PATCH page). Specify the 64 channels that will be input from the I/O devices to the
console.
1 LIBRARY button
Enables you to store or recall the DANTE INPUT PATCH settings to or from the library.
You can store ten sets of settings in the library.
NOTE
If you recall data whose I/O device registration state differs from the current state, patching to
devices not registered in the I/O device list will be kept in its current state, and will not be
recalled. (The settings are recalled for an R unit, or an external CL series console.)
Similarly, if the UNIT ID is different than when the data was stored, the settings will not be
recalled; the current state will be maintained.
2 AUTO SETUP button
The current I/O device connection status will be ascertained, and input patching to the
console will be performed automatically according to the order in which they are
registered in the I/O device list.
When you press this button, a confirmation popup dialog will appear, asking you to
confirm the execution of auto patching. Press the OK button to execute auto patching.
Otherwise, press CANCEL to return to the previous screen.
3 Port select buttons
Press this button to open the PORT SELECT window.
“Dante Device ID number (hexadecimal) and channel number
(decimal)” are shown in the upper row on the button.
The first eight characters of the channel label (Dante Audio Channel
Label) for each port are shown in the lower row on the button.
When a patch establishes an audio connection via AES67, “AES67” is displayed on the
port selection buttons, etc.
If no patch has been assigned, the upper row will indicate---” and the lower row will
indicate nothing.
NOTE
If you’ve connected a device other than an I/O device supported by the CL series, the upper
line of the button will show the first four letters of the Device Label, a dash “-” , and the channel
number (decimal).
If a CL series console is mounted, the display for the upper row of buttons will be “CL#X” (where
X is the ID number of the mounted CL unit).
If no Dante Audio Channel Label has been specified, a value equal to the channel number will
be displayed in the lower row.
You can set the Dante Audio Channel Label using Audinate “Dante Controller” software. For the
latest information, refer to the Yamaha pro audio website.

The Audinate “Dante Controller” software is required to use the CL console in AES67 mode.
Routing via AES67 is possible only by using Dante Controller.
Channels with patches that use AES67 offline will synchronize with the patch settings that are
saved on the target device when connected with the device.
