Vista Digital Mixing System
Date printed: 05.08.03 SW V3.3 Introduction 1-17
1.3 Channels, Routing, and Buses
Processing blocks, such as equalizer, dynamics, delay, etc., can be config-
ured for all channel types. Standard configurations (for every of the four
different core sizes) are shipped with your console.
Input Channels Vista’s digital routing matrix is located between the console’s physical
inputs and the actual DSP channels. This topology means that the physical
analog and digital inputs can be assigned to any console channel via the
General Patch page on the Graphic Controller. The patch setup forms part
of each individual snapshot, and can be saved, updated and recalled within
the Snapshot/Preset system.
Output Channels This also applies to the outputs. On the General Patch page, each channel’s
output can be selected and sent to any analog or digital output destination.
Auxiliaries The number of stereo or mono AUX sends is fully configurable. The users
can establish the number and type of AUX sends they would like to use.
The AUX master channel can be equipped with the same selection of proc-
essing blocks such as equalizer, dynamics, delay, and more.
Clean-Feeds/Mix-Minus (N–1) Clean-Feeds/Mix-Minus or N–1 buses can be set up in stereo or mono, and
are configurable in number.
Multi-track and Group Routing Full multi-track and group routing can be configured.
Solo Modes Each channel features a Solo/PFL Switch. Depending upon the mode se-
lected within the Control Bay, a variety of functions can be achieved, in-
cluding: Standard Solo, Solo-In-Place, Standard PFL, and (for Vista 6
only) Broadcast PFL, etc. A very handy PFL/Solo Reset is provided to dis-
engage any solos regardless of where they are engaged on the console. This
eliminates the need to “search” for solos with large console configurations.
A key to define certain channels to be safe from being muted in “Solo-In-
Place” mode is also provided. This set will be stored once per title.
