5.2 Vista 1 I/O Ports
The number of input and output ports is defined in the DSP session configura-
tion. The Vista 1 comes with several factory-set configuration templates that
have, by default, 32 input ports and 16 output ports for the D21m card slots.
These I/O port configurations are ideal for the use with a MADI I/O card to
establish the connection to a Studer Compact Stagebox.
Template titles for these configurations are, e.g. ‘Vista1 Mono’, ‘Vista1
Stereo’, ‘Vista1 Surround’, ‘Vista1 FOH’ and ‘Vista1 Monitor’.
The Compact Stagebox I/O ports have the following device labels predefined:
Input Ports
Stagebox 1 - Stagebox 32
Output Ports Stage Out 1 - Stage Out 16
When using D21m cards without a Compact Stagebox, the I/O count is also
limited to 32 inputs and 16 outputs, which must be considered when D21m
cards with a larger total number of I/O are used.
If the full 64 in/64 out of a D21m card need to be accessed, there are alterna-
tive DSP session configuration templates predefined. These are the configura-
tions with an added ‘D21’ in the template’s title: ‘Vista1 Monod21’, ‘Vista1
Stereod21’, ‘Vista1 Surroundd21’, etc.
As there are no template titles for the above 64/64 configurations, they can
be loaded and a new title needs to be created from scratch or merged with
an existing file. When such a new title is created, the device label preset as
well as a generic console start preset will already be found in the preset menu
because these are saved with the DSP session configurations.
5.2.1 Insert a D21m Card
First of all: Power the console down and unplug it from the mains.
Remove the blank panel(s) and insert the D21m card(s). After powering up
again and starting the Vista application, the recessed
RECONFIG
button must
be pressed.
