VISTAMAX CONTROL CENTER
The RMX
digital is set up for daily use through
configuration files that are maintained by the sup-
plied VistaMax Control Center (VMCC) software.
Monitor switch functions, channel button settings
and audio routing is “soft controlled” through setup
parameters—initially auto-loaded through a con-
trol file, called
init.mac
, and adjusted as re-
quired through session file settings.
The initial console settings can be changed, as
required by board operators, through manually
selecting different input signal sources and chang-
ing control surface button assignments, or by load-
ing a session file—a pre-saved file that reconfigures
the console for a different daypart or function.
SESSION FILES
Session files are initially created right on the
console by selecting input sources and setting de-
sired switch conditions, then pressing Save on the
Monitor Control panel. This action creates a new
session file—which never affects previously saved
session files. The new session file can then be ed-
ited using a text-only editor on a Windows® com-
puter, if required, and then saved back to the con-
sole over the LAN connection. The session is then
“dialed up” by the operator using the Monitor Con-
trol panel session selector and Take button.
For some facilities, a single customized session
file may be sufficient to set up a console for all
users but it is more likely that multiple session
files will be created to set the console for different
dayparts or different operations (e.g., one console
could serve split duty, being a newsroom feeding
live audio to air during the day, but then changing
to a production room at night).
Since session files can change any number of
console settings, dayparting the console is as easy
as selecting the desired session file and pressing
Take—once the session files have been created,
edited and saved back to the console.
• Cue speaker and Cue monitor output *
• Three talk audio outputs (Talk to: control room,
studio, and an external location) *
• Eight routable audio inputs (four analog and four
digital inputs, independently routable to any
channel strip) that are VistaMax sources
• Eight routable audio outputs (four analog and
four digital outputs, independently routed from
any console bus) that are VistaMax destinations
• Dedicated control room, studio and cue/talk/
external logic connectors, with three Assignable
Logic I/O connectors *
• VistaMax facet Link connectors (two copper RJ-
45, standard; two optical MT-RJ connectors, op-
tional) plus an Ethernet connection for commu-
nicating with a VistaMax LAN
• Serial Test Interface connection for diagnostic
and system software maintenance
* These connections are typically not used on the
RMX d-8HL
Additional audio inputs and logic I/O can be
added in a mainframe by installing the optional
8-Input Expansion Card onto a DSP card. Each
Expansion Card has eight audio inputs (individu-
ally switch set as an analog or a digital input) and
eight Assignable Logic I/O connectors to associ-
ate logic with the eight inputs. The audio inputs
are independently routed to channel strips through
session file settings or by manually selecting a
source using a channel strip source selector. Dur-
ing console setup, audio inputs can be “bound” to
logic I/O connectors for channel logic control to
and from peripheral devices and mic control pan-
els.
One 8-Input Expansion card can be added to a
12-input frame, up to two cards can be added to a
20-input frame and up to three cards can be in-
stalled in a 28-input frame.
