4-8 GC Operation
Some customers are using our consoles as audio routers for other studio instal-
lations, controlling the internal router by protocols such as Pro-Bel or ARMI.
When recalling console snapshots, the patch points set by these devices are
reset to the value of the snapshot, even if this was not always requested. Since
software release 3.4 it is possible to define certain patch targets as 'isolated
from snapshot recalls'. In other words, the user defines the patch outputs are
controlled by Pro-Bel/ARMI devices and therefore makes those targets com-
pletely independent from snapshot recalls by the console operator. This set-up
is typically done once on a system. See service instructions for information
on how to set-up this isolation.

In addition to getting patch control it is possible to exchange label information
with external router systems, such as Pro-Bel and Grass Valley. Using a serial
connection, a permanent label exchange can be set up in such a way that the
'device labels' used in Vista and D950 systems are permanently overwritten
by received labels from the 3
matically see the name of the original sources on your channel strip, even if
a large routing system is placed before your console.
Studer supports two label exchange protocols: Pro-Bel SW-P-08 and Grass
Valley Group Series 7000. Normally this feature is only used for label import
from the external devices. However, when using the Pro-Bel SW-P-08 proto-
col, also export of output interface labels is supported. It is therefore possible
to connect two Vistas together and get the labels automatically from one Vista
transferred to the second.
Note: The Pro-Bel P-08 interface also allows patch control and not only transfer of
labels.
