Store as new default. Again, after waiting for a few seconds the Surveyor
icon will become green and the added card(s) will be visible in the Surveyor
details. The D21m card(s) are now ready to be used.
More information on the D21m I/O system can be found in the D21m Operat-
ing Instructions manual.
Vista 1 is predefined for use with a Studer Compact Stagebox featuring 32
Mic/Line inputs and 16 outputs. If this Compact Stagebox is used, a D21m
MADI I/O card matching the MADI HD card of the Stagebox needs to be
inserted into the D21m option slot.
To use the Vista 1 with any other type of Stagebox, insert a D21m MADI I/O
card (multi-mode, single-mode or electrical) matching the MADI HD card of
the Stagebox.
Note:
The DIP switches of the MADI card should be set to match the actual number
of channels provided from and to the Stagebox.
If the number of I/O ports required by the Stagebox is higher than 32/16,
it is recommended to use the DSP session configurations having 64/64 I/O
available for the D21m extension slot: 'Vista1 Monod21', 'Vista1 Stereod21',
'Vista1 Surroundd21', etc.
Once the local MADI card has been added to the desk as explained in chapter
5.2.1, it will be shown in the Surveyor. After connecting and powering up the
Stagebox, it will automatically appear in the Surveyor as an additional I/O
entity named Remotebox.
When now patching microphone inputs from the remote stagebox to any of
the console's input channels and selecting GLOBAL VIEW - MIC CTRL, the
microphone preamp control parameters appear on the Vistonics screen. Now
the input gain, 48 V phantom power and the high-pass (low-cut) filter can
now be controlled remotely from the desk.
