Preview Issue 27 Audio console maker’s compact ‘surprise’ Studer By David Davies
The Vista 1 Compact is described as a ‘true Studer Vista console’ in a compact and low-cost configuration that will ‘surprise’ many engineers. The new desk comes complete as a single chassis, with control surface, I/O connections and DSP all integral, thereby reducing weight and footprint. According to Studer, the
new desk is suited to both fixed and portable systems, such as newsrooms and game shows, while its compact size lends itself to OB and ENG vans. It is also compatible with Studer’s new Compact Remote Bay, which offers remote operation of the console and can be used to extend the main control surface for a second operator on large shows. The Vista 1 is based largely on the Vista 5, so existing Vista users will be familiar with the functionality of the Vistonics user interface. With an integral DSP engine of 96 channels, the Vista 1 can handle mono, stereo and 5.1 inputs, and is provided with 32 mic/line inputs, 16 line outputs and eight stereo AES inputs and outputs on rear panel connections. Both 32-fader and 22-fader models are available.
I/O can be expanded using the standard Studer D21m
App, app and away
TMD By Heather McLean
IBC 2012 will see the European launch of TMD’s i-mediaflex Mobile, an app for the iPad, Android tablet and smartphone enabling users access to content from a handheld device, and add or update metadata. i-mediaflex is a web-enabled solution for asset and business process management, for both digital and analogue content. A typical workflow for a production in a broadcast playout facility would be to create a set of trailers for a new series. Producers create work orders in i-mediaflex which are then delivered to editors, along with the content they will need to make the trailers. 2.C58
