For Dante audio network patching, you will use the DANTE INPUT PATCH window. In this window, you can patch the QL console and I/O device inputs. Sixty-four (64) channels for the QL5 and thirty-two (32) channels for the QL1 can be input from a DANTE audio network. Choose channels from Dante audio network signals and select the I/O devices that you want to control from the QL series console. Then, route the input signals (that were patched in the DANTE INPUT PATCH window) to channels on the QL series console. To do this, choose input ports from DANTE 1-64 (for QL5) or DANTE1-32 (for QL1) in the GAIN/PATCH window. Output patching Use the OUTPUT PORT window to patch QL console's output channels and Dante audio network. In this window, assign output channel signals to DANTE 1-64 ports (for QL5) or DANTE 1-32 ports (for QL1). Next, patch the output signals from DANTE 1-64 (for QL5) or DANTE 1-32 (for QL1) (assigned in the OUTPUT PORT window) to I/O device outputs. Use the OUTPUT PATCH window of the I/O DEVICE to make these assignments.

Reference Manual

Input and output patching

This chapter explains how to edit the input patching and output patching, how to connect

inserts, and how to use direct outputs.

When the QL series is in the initial state, the following input ports (jacks/ports) are patched to

each input channel.

For QL5

For QL1

When the QL is in the initial state, the output ports (jacks/ports) are patched to the following

output channels.

*1. QL1: OMNI OUT1–6

*2. QL1: MIX1–6

*3. QL1: OMNI OUT7–8

Input patching

QL series consoles and I/O devices feature two types of patching: Dante audio network

patching and QL console internal patching.

For Dante audio network patching, you will use the DANTE INPUT PATCH window. In this

window, you can patch the QL console and I/O device inputs. Sixty-four (64) channels for the

QL5 and thirty-two (32) channels for the QL1 can be input from a DANTE audio network.

Choose channels from Dante audio network signals and select the I/O devices that you want

to control from the QL series console.

Then, route the input signals (that were patched in the DANTE INPUT PATCH window) to

channels on the QL series console. To do this, choose input ports from DANTE 1–64 (for QL5)

or DANTE1–32 (for QL1) in the GAIN/PATCH window.

Output patching

Use the OUTPUT PORT window to patch QL console’s output channels and Dante audio

network. In this window, assign output channel signals to DANTE 1–64 ports (for QL5) or

DANTE 1–32 ports (for QL1).

Next, patch the output signals from DANTE 1–64 (for QL5) or DANTE 1–32 (for QL1)

(assigned in the OUTPUT PORT window) to I/O device outputs. Use the OUTPUT PATCH

window of the I/O DEVICE to make these assignments.
