Studer is launching its Compact Remote Bay, a portable controller containing 12 motorised Penny & Giles faders and 40 rotary controls which link to a 19-inch touch-screen running Virtual Vista software. This emulates the console’s Vistonics user interface. As well as remote operation the Compact Remote Bay may also be used to extend the main control surface for a second operator on large shows. It can also be used as a standalone controller for the Vista’s DSP core should the control surface not be available, with the provision of connections for local 5.1 monitoring and a headphone output. Other new products from Studer at NAB include the new Studer Vista 1 Compact mixing console, VISTA FX Lexicon engine, RTW TM7 Metering Option for Vista consoles integral EMBER control protocol and an Axia Livewire AoIP card for the D21m system.
