Displays
To begin patching your show, you must first open the patch display. To open the patch display, press
[Displays] and then {Patch}.
The patch display will open on an available external monitor and the CIA will display patch controls.
If there are no monitors attached, patch will open on one of the on-board monitors.
From within the patch display, you can open the Device List to use RDM to patch any RDM
compatible devices. For more information about Device List, see Using Device List, page 82.
The patch screen will display the following information if available:
• Channel - the patched channel number. In patch by address mode, channel will appear blank
if not currently patched.
• Address - the patched output address. In patch by channel mode, address will appear blank
if not currently patched. Pressing [Data] toggles the display from showing address as patched
by the user, output address, and the port/offset. See “Using Output Address vs Port/Offset” on
page 64.
• Type - device or dimmer type that is patched.
• Label - displays the assigned label of the channel or address. See Labeling, page 62.
• Interface - displays which interfaces will be used for the device. See {Interface} in {Patch}
Display and Settings, page 76.
• Output - displays the current live intensity level. Value is displayed as 0-255, with 255 being
full.
Status in the Patch Display
Status flags will display on the far left of the patch display to advise you when a channel or address
requires your attention.
A red “!” or yellow “?” will display when there is a warning or error from an RDM, CEM+, CEM3, or
ACN device. See “Errors and Warnings” on page 86.
