Mix Snapshot - Studer Vista 9 Operating Instructions Manual

5.3.1.3

mix Snapshot

Date printed: 28.0.0
The Mix Snapshot contains two types of data:
• The values for Static objects.
• The initial values for Dynamic objects from the beginning of the Mix Pass
up to the first recorded change.
Every Mix Pass has a Mix Snapshot. When a Mix Tree is first opened, a Mix
Pass is created that contains a Mix Snapshot with a Static value for each
control. The Static value stored in the Mix Snapshot is the current value of
the control at the time the Mix Tree was first opened. As a mix progresses the
following operations occur:
• Changes to Static values are written directly to the Mix Snapshot each time
a new Mix Pass is created.
• Changes made to Dynamic objects are written to timestamps (timecode
locations) within the Mix Pass.
When changes are made to Static Objects, the Mix Snapshot is automatically
updated when the next Mix Pass is generated.
The Mix Snapshot for Dynamic objects may be updated in two ways:
• Using the 'Extend Back To Begin' Mix Pass function. The value of the
control at the time of a punch-out will be written back to the beginning of
the Mix Pass (essentially updating the Mix Snapshot).
• Performing a 'Update Mix Snap' edit using the OFLA offline mix edi-
tor.
In normal V3.0 operation, use of the Mix Snapshot is mostly transparent to
the user and there is no need for manual updates.
