Studer Vista

broadcast console at NAB 2012. The upgrade is particularly relevant to mobile installations where complex productions demand two operators but space and weight are at a premium. Dual Operator Mode gives two operators the ability to have independent physical controls and access to shared audio assets. The system allows an unlimited number of consecutive eight-channel fader bays to be assigned to a second operator. These bays can be located at either end of a C100 console or separated and installed in a remote

location such as a production gallery. V5 also introduces a new momentary ‘non-latching’ pre-fadelisten mode to facilitate shared use of monitor outputs. Soundcraft has expanded the range of digital audio transport option cards for its Vi, Si Compact and Si1/2/3 series digital consoles with all options expected to start shipping this year.
