6.2.1 features & Benefits
The Vista DSP Concept The concept of the Studer Vista allows to use multiple DSP processors in a
Session Configuration So the concept of the 'Session Configuration' was born which allows to create
Channel Types All channels within the DSP core can be configured as Mono, Stereo or 5.1
SCore Live Cards The SCore Live can contain several different card types:

fully scaleable and configurable way. It is possible to specify the power of the
DSP core in fine steps in order to fulfil the exact need of an application. It can
be said that the Studer Vista has a scaleable DSP resource pool of computing
power, which can be used in many different combinations.
many completely different mixers that can run on the same existing hardware.
The operator is now able to choose the ideal mixer for the task he or she wants
to work on.
For this, the Session Configurations can be loaded and the Studer Vista console
is restarted in a matter of seconds. Each Session Configuration can contain
a different console configuration based on the available DSP power. In the
ever-changing studio environment, it is now possible to have a 'new' mixer
every day:

channels. The number of channels for any channel type is defined through
the Session Configuration. Moreover, any channel type can be fitted with
the available function blocks from the processing library. So EQ, Delay, or
Dynamics can be fitted to Input Channels, but also to Group Channels, Master
Channels or Auxiliaries in any number and combination. Any combination of
Auxiliary, Cleanfeed, Multitrack Routing, Audio Subgroup and Master Buses
can be configured in the system.
