5.2: Visonics Overview
Vistonics II is a unique control and display technology derived from the Studer Vistonics technology and exclusive to
Soundcraft. The Vi3000 uses Vistonics II as a core technology for console operation because of its significant user-in
-
terface benefits.
The Vistonics screens are divided into two main areas. The top section is the touch screen area and serves a number
of functions. For instance, in the default input chanel mode, the input touch screens show the Input, EQ, Dynamics,
Bus outputs, and panning sections of input channel strip. Touching one of these opens that channel section onto the
Vistonics VST area.
The VST area is the lower section of the Vistonics screens, each with two rows of eight VST Fields. Each VST Field
contains an encoder, a button, and a display area. VST Fields are normally used for individual parameter control. For
instance, the default input Vistonics screen uses the upper row of encoders to control a channel’s contribution level to
the Aux 1 bus, and the upper row of buttons to turn those contributions on and off.
