1.6 Automation Functions
Snapshots An unlimited number of snapshots can be captured, stored, and recalled for
each Project Title. All control parameters of the console are stored in the
snapshots. When a snapshot is recalled, the console typically requires
50 ms to fully reset itself. Snapshots can be recalled through channel pro-
tection filters or function protection filters that yield editing flexibility and
safety in live operations.
Copy & Paste Clipboard The Vista System supports copy and paste of some or all channel settings
to one or more other channels. This ability streamlines the set-up of the
console when an operator is starting from scratch with a new layout. How-
ever, if starting from a clean slate is desired, clearing all or some of the pa-
rameters is possible as well.
AutoTouch+ Dynamic Automation Each audio parameter of the Vista mixing console can be stored and re-
called dynamically against timecode information.
Such enormous versatility can be accompanied, of course, by a certain
operation complexity. For this reason, all operator controls capable of be-
ing automated are touch-sensitive.
