Displays
To begin patching your show, you must first open the patch display. To open the patch display, press
[Patch] or press [Displays] and then {Patch}.
The patch display will open on an available external monitor and the CIA will display patch controls.
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 71 .
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 56.
• Type - device or dimmer type that is patched.
• Label - displays the assigned label of the channel or address. See Labeling, page 54 .
• Interface - displays which interfaces will be used for the device. See {Interface} in {Patch}
Display and Settings, page 67 .
• 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 75.
