VMC for the Studer D950/Vista console. That part is done off-line, even if
the Configuration Tool is running on the Studer D950/Vista Control PC.
The results of this part are:
•
A “meta” VMC file (
*.vmc
) – the definition of the console structure
•
A DSP core file (
*.cor
) – software that tells the DSP core what to do
•
Configuration knowledge file (
*.ckf
) – defines the distribution of the
processes among the boards of the core, and stores other configuration
relevant information.
Use a Configuration When we operate the Studer D950/Vista console, we speak of “loading a
configuration”. This means loading the “meta” VMC file to the memory of
the Studer D950/Vista Control PC. This process will remove the current
file from the Studer D950/Vista memory and load a different one. The
Studer D950/Vista Control software will then, based on information con-
tained in the new files, run a VMC that corresponds to the information
from the “meta” VMC file. It will also remove the current DSP core file,
replacing it with a new one, thus activating a new VMC. Now the Studer
D950/Vista is ready to work with the new Session Configuration.
There can only be one VMC that is active on the Studer D950/Vista con-
sole at any one time, but there can be multiple VMCs configured and
stored for later use. For more information on loading a configuration and
using the Studer D950/Vista, please consult the Studer D950/Vista Oper-
ating Instructions.
