The System – Seamless integration and easy setupThe Studer Vista 5 is optimised for a high degree ofportability. Setting up for a live event, be it a LivePerformance or an outside Broadcast was never this easy.The Vista 5 provides seamless integration with otherequipment, for example via Harman’s HiQnet or 3 rd partyprotocol for external router control.An optional flight case provides protection during relocationof the desk. Within minutes the only two cables betweenthe desk and the DSP rack can be connected. The presenceof a remote Stagebox providing additional I/O to theone in the DSP rack is automatically detected by thesystem. All monitoring outputs are brought to the deskvia CAT 5 cable and XLR connectors can be found on therear of the console. If digital monitoring loudspeakers arein use they may be connected directly to the consolesAES/EBU monitoring output, providing an uninterrupted digitalsignal path from the console inputs all the way up tothe loudspeaker. In addition, direct outputs are available forpurposes such as connecting external third party meters.The console also allows encoders/decoders to be insertedinto its monitoring path. Talkback returns from studios aswell as a producer input are also provided. Where there isa need to control external equipment from within the console,there are 9 buttons associated with GPIOs directlywithin the desk. This is useful for controlling music playoutsystems, telephone hybrids etc.While the I/O and DSP power of the console is defined ona customer-by-customer basis, it can be further expandedat any time. This allows the creation of extensive systemswith well over 200 DSP channels and up to 1700 inputsand outputs (see page 11).The extensive routing matrix within the DSP Core eliminatesthe need for an outboard patch bay or front-endrouter. In an OB truck, the integrated routing matrix canbe used as the audio distribution backbone thus makingexpensive and large external solutions obsolete.The console patch points may also be externally controlledvia a 3 rd party Router with the possibility to importsource labels. An optional patch selector panel with 32freely programmable push buttons is available to set patchpoints from any location within a facility. This allows flexiblerouting control as well as monitoring feeds to be realizedfor a specific installation.GPIO cards may be fitted into any I/O rack, making itpossible to realize even complex “Audio Follows Video”installations in TV environnements, where the consolemust automatically open and close faders upon cameraswitching.The Vista 5 can create Cue Lists from console snapshotsand MIDI events which can recall console settings and controlexternal equipment. With the Integration of Harman Pro’sHiQnet communications protocol, HiQnet Venue Recall commandsmay also be added to a Cue List, which can thenbe used to trigger changes in amplifier levels, loudspeakerprocessing EQ and routing across an entire HiQnet system.The Vista 5 also allows the control of external MIDI devicesas well having its cue list slaved to an external show controlsystem (“MIDI Show Control”).Cue ListSystem OverviewMonitoringExt.
