VENUE SC48 Guide

Patching Grid
The Patching Grid shows hardware I/O across the top, and
VENUE channels down the left side. The available channel
tabs and choices are determined by the currently selected I/O
tab and Channel type(s). The grid squares represent patch
points between hardware I/O and VENUE mixing channels.
By default, hardware inputs are routed in a 1-to-1 pattern to
input channels resulting in Stage inputs 1–48 appearing on In-
put Channels 1–16 (Bank A), 17–32 (Bank B) and so on.
Channel Controls
These controls mirror the controls for the currently selected
channel. For example, when showing Inputs, the Channel
controls let you adjust input gain, polarity, phantom power,
HPF, Direct Out, and basic level without leaving the Patchbay.
Channel Direct Outs
The channel area in the Patchbay provides access to Direct
Out controls.
To adjust Direct Output level from the Patchbay:
1
In the Patching Grid, patch the channel Direct Out to an
available output.
2
In the channel controls, adjust the on-screen
Direct Output
encoder.
Visual Indicators and Displays
The Patchbay uses the following visual display conventions in
all its pages and tabs.
Unavailable I/O
The Patchbay displays hardware tabs for all possible configu-
rations, even if your system does not include any expansion
options.
The Patchbay indicates I/O that is offline or unavailable by
graying out the columns beneath that device.
Unavailable hardware I/O appear grayed out in the patchbay
and italicized in all routing pop-up lists. It is possible to make
assignments to unavailable hardware I/O.
The VENUE D-Show Standalone software provides additional
display options for hardware I/O (including unavailable I/O).
Assigned I/O
When a hardware connection is assigned, its connection is
dimmed in all Patchbay screens. This lets you see which hard-
ware connections are in use without having to switch back
and forth between Patchbay screens. You can also use the
dimmed column number indicator to jump to the Patchbay
tab for the existing assignment (for more information, see
“Shortcut for Locating Assignments” on page 104).
