1.6 Automation
Static Automation 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
120 ms to fully reset itself. Snapshots recalls can be done with snapshot fil-
ters active, protecting certain console parameters from being changed by the
recall. Extensive editing functions allow modifying snapshots after or during
a live show. Besides absolute protection of certain parameters it is possible to
trim parameters relative to their stored values rather then letting them totally
unmodified. Recalling a preset however, will ignore any snapshot filters
which may be active and bring the console into a defined audio state.
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. However, if start-
ing from a clean slate is desired, clearing all or some of the parameters
Dynamic Automation
Each audio parameter of the Vista mixing console can be stored and recalled
dynamically against timecode information.
Such enormous versatility can be accompanied, of course, by a certain op-
eration complexity. For this reason, all operator controls capable of being
automated are touch-sensitive.
