Studer Vista - Write

D950/Vista7 Digital Mixing System

5.6.2 Write
WRITE is the primary data recording mode of the system. Controls in
WRITE ENABLE are armed for recording and those in WRITE RECORD will
write changes to a new Mix Pass.
WRITE Rules: Record Off:
• WRITE ENABLE: The control acts the same as if it were in READ (replay-
ing the mix Read data), but is armed to go into WRITE RECORD.
- A new Mix Pass is not generated unless RECORD is engaged.
Record On:
• WRITE RECORD: The absolute value (level) of the control is written into
a new Mix Pass.
- Read mix values are overwritten.
- At the end of a pass in which at least one control was in WRITE
RECORD, a new Mix Pass is generated based upon the Active Mix
Pass and the newly recorded data.
Note: WRITE RECORD is a destructive mode in regard that previously written data
is overwritten. However, mix data is never lost because a new Mix Pass is
generated at the end of every RECORD pass. All Mix Passes are retained in
the Mix Tree unless purposely deleted.
D950 Null Indications When a control is being written, a Null indication is provided. In basic
terms, the null indication provides information regarding the difference be-
tween the current value of a control and its Read Mix value.
Write mode null indications are handled the same for faders and encoders,
however null indications are given only for the last encoder used.
