Patchbay 264
To scroll the patching grid, do one of the following:
Select the up/down or left/right patching grid scroll arrows to move square by square.
Select the up or down patching grid double arrows to move screen by screen.
Touch and hold in the patching grid and drag in any direction.
Navigating to Channel Types
The Patchbay uses multiple tabs to access different hardware I/O and channel types in the patching grid. For example, the Outputs
tab provides sub-tabs of output channel types for you to patch these different outputs independently.
Examples
To show output channels:
Go to the Patchbay page and select the Outputs tab.
To show a specific type of output in the patching grid:
In the Patchbay page, select the MAINS, MTX (Matrix), GRP, or AUX tabs. Press and hold Shift, then select multiple tabs to
show multiple types at once.
To show Stage 64 I/O, select Connected Devices (below NETWORK CARDS). To show E6L I/O (such as MADI-192 MADI
Option cards, if any), select MADI-192 below EXPANSION CARDS.
To navigate to a different hardware source:
Select the appropriate hardware tab across the top of the patching grid.
Visual Indicators and Displays
The Patchbay uses the following visual display conventions in all its tabs and pages.
Available I/O
When I/O is available for patching, the patching grid for the corresponding I/O lights.
Patched I/O
When a hardware connection is patched, its connection is dimmed in all Patchbay screens. This lets you see which hardware con-
nections are in use without having to switch back and forth between Patchbay screens. You can also use the dimmed column num-
ber indicator to jump to the Patchbay page for the existing assignment (for more information, see Shortcut for Locating Assign-
ments).
Unavailable I/O
The Patchbay displays hardware tabs for all possible configurations. For example, if your current configuration includes two Stage
64 I/O racks, three Stage tabs still appear in the Patchbay. Unavailable I/O for unconnected Stage 64 I/O racks and either unavail-
able or reserved Pro Tools I/O is indicated in the patching grid as follows:
Stage I/O
Appears grayed out in the Patchbay under its corresponding hardware tab, and is italicized in all routing pop-up lists.
Pro Tools I/O
When a Pro Tools computer is connected to the S6L control surface, system input channels with Stage inputs as-
signed to them are highlighted in purple under the Pro Tools hardware tabs in the Patchbay. This indicates that the Pro Tools I/O
channels are reserved for use as direct digital splits to Pro Tools (outputs) or Virtual Soundcheck channels (inputs).
Shared I/O
The Patchbay indicates input and output ownership of Stage 64s and Stage 32s using colored text (see
IO Sharing Example).
When a Pro Tools computer is not connected, all Pro Tools I/O is grayed out and unavailable in the Patchbay.
