Area 4 - Vistonics - Studer Vista 9 Operating Instructions Manual

Vista 9 Digital Mixing System
2.2.5 Area 4 – Vistonics™
2-0 Desk Operation
 Vistonics™ Rotary Area
Each rotary control is grouped with a key to form a control element.
These control elements are sometimes used in a channel-related manner,
dedicating four control elements to each channel strip; sometimes, neigh-
boring channels are used in order to show a complete parameter set of
one single channel. This is the case when touching any graphical dis-
play of EQ, dynamics, or pan, but also when activating VIEW: MISC or
VIEW: CHANNEL.
 Vistonics™ Touch Screen Area
Graphical indication of dynamics, equalizer and pan. Touching the graphics
will open up all corresponding parameters on the rotary control area.
This section is also able to display bus assignment. Two modes are available:
Bus assignment as a 'bubble view' to give an overview over the whole console,
or bus assignment of a specific channel (one per bay).
The graphical pan display may vary depending on the configured panning
function or format. (2-CH Stereo Pan, Multi-format Pan, VSP).
Generic Display Area
The following information is continuously displayed:
• Inherited label (top line). This corresponds to the USER label of the con-
nected source (can be edited in the GC's Global Patch window).
• Switchable label (second line). Normally this is set to USER labels, but
might be changed by pressing GLOBAL VIEW: LABEL TYPE. If set to
USER label, the device label of the connected source is being displayed
(e.g. 'Mic1, StA').
• Indication of channel type by color coding of the lower half as well as
writing the type in the bottom right corner.
The following information pops up when appropriate:
• Fader value in dB when touched (or 'held' when in dynamic automation
mode)
• Graphical representation of fader values in automation mode (replay
value of last mix pass and currently set value at the same time)
• Graphical representation of current setting and previewed snapshot at the
same time.
• Automation mode of the fader.
• Indication whether the fader was dynamically automated while pressing
AUTOMATION VIEW.
• Numerical indication of the current peak meter value if metering is in
PEAK: HOLD CONT mode, or of the overload value if OVERLOAD: HOLD
is active.
• N–1 indication and bus number.
Touching the upper half (for input channels, multi-track input channels, multi-
track monitor channels): Opens the GC's General Patch window, showing the
channel input position of the selected channel..
Touching the lower half (for all channels): Opens the GC's General Patch
window, showing the direct output position of the selected channel.
