Vista Digital Mixing System
26 Software V4.1 SW V4.1 Date printed: 20.08.09
Protocol selection (Mackie Control or Mackie HUI) is done in the Vista
Settings dialog. This is not done automatically but has to be decided by
the user:
To enable transport control specifically for the connected DAW, there is a
new menu option in the TC Reader / Generator setup dialog. Please note
that the 9-pin serial control is disabled as soon as the DAW Control set-
ting is selected:
MIDI-Over-Ethernet: Instead of the MIDI connection normally used as the physical layer for the
Mackie protocols, a MIDI-over-Ethernet solution is used that allows using
one single Ethernet Cat5 cable instead of several MIDI cables. Therefore
the ‘ipMIDI’ driver needs to be installed on both the Vista desk PC and on
the DAW.
