Area 10 - Control Bay Vistonics - Studer Vista 9 Operating Instructions Manual

2.4.10 Area 10 – Control Bay Vistonics™
Date printed: 27.0.0
Apart from monitoring and housekeeping functions, the control bay hosts
twelve faders and a Vistonics™ screen. The faders are independent from the
rest of the console in terms of changing fader pages.
FOLLOW view is active, the Vistonics™ screen is used as a col-
Unless the

lection of 40 level controls, usually representing a duplicate view of the fader
bays' channel faders. The Vistonics™ controls will then not only give access
to the channel faders and graphically indicate their settings, but also indicate
a real-time level meter on the screen right next to the corresponding rotary
control. This allows viewing up to 40 meters at a glance while having direct
access to all of their corresponding faders by using the rotary control next to
it. Tweaking any of the console's output levels is therefore extremely easy
and fast.
 VIEW...
These keys allow accessing some predefined channel types (AUX, GROUPS,
MASTERS, DIRECT OUT, BUS OUT, n-1) as well as five user-definable views.
By using the third page (Vistonics Views tab) of the strip setup window, it
is possible to define the user setups in a way very similar to the strip setup
window. In order to make a user view, simply select the Vistonics™ elements
on the screen and fill them up using the right trackball button. Although pri-
marily intended for outputs, also input faders can be visible and controlled
with these USER views.
The top user-definable view is labeled MATRIX. This page is also fully user-
definable and covers the same functionality as the other four USER1...4 keys.
As a standard the user may want to use the MATRIX key to see the console's
matrix outputs.
The function of the Vistonics™ keys next to each rotary knob on the Viston-
ics™ screen may be modified by pressing the TALK or keys. They will change
the Vistonics™ key from a SOLO/PFL/SIP key (depending on the current
mode) to a TALK or MUTE key.

The (shift) key is reserved for future use and doesn't offer any function
currently.
These functions may not be available on certain channel types.
Apart from displaying meters and set levels, the Vistonics™ screen also
indicates the label of the displayed channel with the color coding applied
accordingly.
Temporary activation of these keys is possible.

ments of a type by pressing the corresponding key on the touch screen.
