Metering

Date printed: 27.0.0
The Vista 9 TFT metering displays everything you need to see, in a readily
comprehensible format. There is a large, high-resolution bargraph meter for
every channel type from mono to 7.1, with eye-catching indication of the
actual overload dB value as well as gain reduction metering shown on the
meter bargraph from top to bottom. Stereo channel meters include a correla-
tion display, and the Control Bay features user pages with up to 40 assign-
able channel meters on one single screen. Meanwhile the lower meter area
provides additional views, such as user-definable recent meter history, bus
assign view and surround view.
A large scale bargraph meter is provided for every channel strip. Even though
the space of the TFT display is divided into different areas displaying dif-
ferent information, the large bargraph meter is visible at all times, since the
metering needs to be looked at in a situation when something goes wrong,
and where there is no time to navigate to a different view for a visualization
of the input or output signal in question. A colour scheme and graphics design
was choosen that provides maximum possible contrast while being minimally
fatiguing for the eye.
The bargraph meter can display formats that cover all available channel types:
from mono over stereo up to 7.1 surround – all in the space of one single
channel strip, representing the signal which is controlled by one single fader.
The meter scale always is in dB
overload segment clearly indicating overloads. In case continuous peak-hold
is active, an additional readout value is provided. Stereo meters feature a
correlation meter on top of the meter bars, both on stereo inputs as well as
on stereo master channels.
