Area 11 - Control Bay Faders - Studer Vista 9 Operating Instructions Manual

Vista 9 Digital Mixing System
2.4.11 Area 11 – Control Bay Faders
2-2 Desk Operation
Operation of the Control Bay fader area is identical to the one on the Fader
Bays, with one exception: The CONTRIB row of keys is extended by the
REDUCED: ON key.
Very often it is useful to operate the console in 'reverse' way coming from
an output fader, and operate the various input channels contributing to this
output. By pressing the CONTRIB key the Vistonics™ rotaries will show all
channel faders currently contributing to this master signal. In case of a matrix
or AUX master output, the view shows all channels contributing to this output,
hence input, subgroup or master channels.
The contribution can be operated in two ways, depending on the state of the
REDUCED: ON key on the left-hand side.
REDUCED: ON key active:
When pressing CONTRIB only the channels currently assigned to the corre-
sponding master bus are displayed.
REDUCED: ON key inactive: All channels that may contribute are displayed.
These are all channels that can be assigned to that specific output bus. This
view allows assigning or de-assigning them from the master bus by using the
corresponding Vistonics™ keys.
In this way, it is extremely easy to adjust a balance of e.g. a matrix output
without having to access the fader strips of the contributing channels.
In REDUCED: ON key inactive mode, another advantage becomes apparent:
The operator may do the bus assignment now by choosing the output first,
and assigning the corresponding channels to it afterwards.
