Name and Colour
Each Input channel, mix master and DCA master can have a 5 character name and one of 6 colours or no
backlight applied. The names appear on the strip LCDs and TouchScreen pages, and the colour affects
the strip LCD backlights. The LCDs form a virtual write-on strip that makes mixing with iLive a very visual
and intuitive experience. Note that all names and colours except the DCA masters can also be edited
from within the related channel processing SEL screens as an alternative to using the NAME & COLOUR
screen. However, the screen provides a quick way to change the colour of a range of strips or all
channels of a certain type
There are two ways to name and colour channels:
