To begin patching your show, you must first open the patch display. To open the patch display, press
[Address/Patch] twice or press [Displays] and then {Patch}. [Tab] [1][2] can also be used to open

The patch display will open in the selected tab, 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 com-
patible devices. For more information about Device List, see Using Device List (on page136).
For patching fixtures, there are two different patch modes: patch by channeland patch by address.

mode between patch by channel and patch by address.

if not currently patched.
