Import Rules A simple set of rules will apply for the import:
Date printed: 28.0.0
Both the Session Configuration Tool and the Studer Vista System software
should be set to search in the folder
search paths are set as above, there is nothing more you need to do in order
to load a configuration. Simply switch to the Studer Vista operating system
(the GC) and load a new configuration from the GC File menu.
need to transfer the configuration files to the Studer Vista control PC. Since
all files are Windows files, it is a simple matter of using a transfer medium
(CD-R, USB stick, or even a LAN) to transport the files. Care has to be taken
to store the files under the appropriate directory on the Studer Vista control
PC as described above. The only files that must be transferred for each con-
figuration are:
• MyConfig.vmc
• MyConfig.cor
Both files must be in the same subdirectory, otherwise the Studer Vista will
not be able to load this configuration. The best practice is to always copy
<MyConfig>
the whole folder
D950SYSTEMDB directory.
It is not necessary to copy the
It is generated for maintenance reasons only.
Studer Vista features such as Snapshot, AutoTouch Automation, etc. use
Windows compatible files to store data. Since the contents of such files are
dependent on the current configuration, each file is internally stamped with
the Session Configuration ID. The configurations may be quite different – the
resulting snapshot or automation files will be different, too.
A Snapshot file made under Session Configuration A can not, therefore, be
directly recalled under a different configuration B. A function called Import
must first be performed using the appropriate controls within the GC. For
more information on the Import function, please consult the Vista Operating
Instructions.
• Unnecessary data are truncated
• Only items of identical type can be imported, e.g. data for mono input
channels can only come from mono input channels
• If the source configuration A has 48 mono input channels and the current
configuration B has only 32, just the channels 1 through 32 are imported
and the rest of the source channels are ignored. When the item is saved it
will have 32 channels in it.
• If the source configuration A has 32 mono input channels and the current
configuration B has 48, just the channels 1 through 32 are imported and
the rest of the current channels are ignored. The user can edit and save
channels 33-48 manually. When the item is saved it will have 48 channels
in it.
• The same rules apply to the existence of processing blocks (EQ, Dynamics,
etc.).
