5.3: CONSOLE BAYS

OPS OVERVIEW > CONSOLE BAYS
The Vi5000 is divided into four main bays, and the Vi7000 is divided into five. Both have a single Master Bay, a
right-hand Input Bay (which has additional fast-assign capability - see Section 5.3.1), and several left-hand Input Bays
(two for the Vi5000 and three for the Vi7000).
Input bays normally control input channels, however, they can have other functions mapped to them depending on
how the console is being used. For example, you can map the bus masters, graphic EQ bands, matrix mix sources,
aux bus contributions, and more to the input faders.
The input bay vistonics touch screen areas normally show eight channel-strip processing blocks for the eight
corresponding faders. The input bay VST areas normally show Aux 1 and 2 contributions, though the functions of
these encoders are also determined by the input channel VISTONICS button group.
The Master Bay contains assignable faders for the bus masters, plus the mix master (L, R, C) faders and the
assignable monitor fader.
The Master Bay touch screen default display is an overview of metering for all input and output channels, as well as
system message area and cue list.
The Master Bay VST area's default mapping is the first 16 bus masters. The next 16 masters can be accessed with the
[PAGE 2] button in the Master Bay VISTONICS button group.
