SESSion ConfiguRATion Tool (oPTion)

 

  The Studer Vista Digital Mixing Systems may be easily reconfigured using 

the optional Session Configuration Tool. Whereas the ability for reconfigu-
ration is a great feature of the Studer Vista, it is important for an operator to 
fully understand the Session Configuration Tool and its functions. There is 
no safeguard functionality to prevent someone from configuring a console 
without e.g. the summing buses – and in such a case, the console may not 
function properly. 

 

  Functions, features, and appearance of the Session Configuration Tool may 

be changed by modifying the software. For this reason the operation of the 
tool and its parts as described in this manual may be slightly different from 
your version.

 

  Information  contained  in  this  chapter  has  been  carefully  checked  and  is 

believed to be correct and complete. But as we all know, everybody makes 
mistakes, and we are not immune either. If you should detect a mistake, kindly 
notify us per email to [email protected]. We will be grateful for 
your feedback. 

 

  No responsibility is taken for any inaccuracies, errors or omissions, nor is any 

liability assumed for any loss or damage resulting either directly or indirectly 
from use of the information contained in the manual and any accompanying 
documentation.

6.1  installation

 

Note

  A good level of understanding PC basics is assumed for this installation. You 

may need to copy files between various media and create subdirectories. You 
will be required to edit a simple .ini file to adjust the environment of your 
PC. Please have an instruction manual for your Windows version available, 
if necessary.

 

Environment

  The Session Configuration Tool will run under Microsoft Windows 2000, 

Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 environments.

 

Minimum Requirements

  The Session Configuration Tool requires the following minimum environment 

to run properly:

 

  • 

Windows 2000/SP4 or Windows XP/SP2

 

  •  Intel Pentium processor (x86 compatible), 1 GHz or faster

 

  • 

512 MB RAM, 2 GB available harddisk space
