INPUT AND OUTPUT PATCHING
Brio 36 desk inputs and outputs can be patched to physical I/O ports or virtual Hydra patchbay ports, or to each
other. To enter the I/O patching screen, tap ‘I/O patching’ in the Show menu.
Patches are made between sources and destinations.
• A source can be an I/O input port, Hydra patchbay output, or console DSP output from the local Brio console.
• A destination can be an I/O output port, Hydra patchbay input, or console DSP input from the local Brio console.
Each source can be patched to multiple destinations but a destination can only have one source. When patching an
input port to multiple input channels it is important to remember that phantom power (48 V), input gain and sample rate
conversion are all set within the Hydra2 domain and so altering these controls from any point on the surface will affect that
feed for every instance of it across the surface and across the Hydra2 network.
The I/O Patching Screen
The I/O patching screen is split into two halves, sources are displayed on the left and destinations on the right. Each side
has a series of buttons running along the top for you to select which source/destination type you wish to access.
Selecting Sources and Destinations
Tap a source or destination selection button and a pop-up reveals all available options of that type, either as a set of
buttons, or, in the case of I/O boxes, within a sortable table. Tapping to select one of these options, i.e. ‘Aux Outputs’,
populates the source/destination screen with the associated ports.
