8.6.14.1 Exclude Certain Patch Targets from Being Changed by Snapshots
Some customers are using our consoles as audio routers for other studio
installations, controlling the internal router by protocols such as ProBel or
ARMI. When recalling console snapshots, the patch points set by these de-
vices are reset to the value of the snapshot, even if this was not always re-
quested. With software release 3.4 it is possible to define certain patch tar-
gets as “isolated from snapshot recalls”. In other words, the user defines
the patch outputs are controlled by ProBel/ARMI devices and therefore
makes those targets completely independent from snapshot recalls by the
console operator. This set-up is typically done once on a system. See ser-
vice instructions for information on how to set-up this isolation.
8.6.14.2 Label Import from 3
rd
-Party Systems
With software release 3.4 it is possible to exchange label information with
external router systems, such as ProBel and Grass Valley. Using a serial
connection, a permanent label exchange can be set up in such a way that
the “device labels” used in Vista and D950 systems are permanently over-
written by received labels from the 3
rd
party router. This means that you
will automatically see the name of the original sources on your channel
strip, even if a large routing system is placed before your console.
Studer supports two label exchange protocols: ProBel SW-P-08 and Grass
Valley Group Series 7000. Normally this feature is only used for label im-
port from the external devices. However, when using the ProBel SW-P-08
protocol, also export of output interface labels is supported. It is therefore
possible to connect two Vistas together and get the labels automatically
from one Vista transferred to the second.
Note: If you plan to use this feature, please contact Studer Service & Support
beforehand.
