Broadcast Sound Mixing System

Introducing Vista X. An intuitive new operating surface that controls the Infinity Core – the world’s most powerful broadcast sound mixing system.

Unprecedented CPU-based processing power
Big productions demand a lot of processing muscle. The new Studer Infinity Core delivers an unprecedented 800+
audio channels with superb sonic quality, and more than 5000 inputs and outputs.
And the use of CPU-based processors suggests exciting possibilities for scaling up to even larger channel counts, and forrunning third party algorithms.

Aviation-standard system redundancy
A first in broadcast sound mixingThe new Vista X with Quad Star technology uses four processors to achieve aviation-standard levels of redundancy in the control
surface while CPU-based DSP makes it viable to provide two completely independent DSP cores running in parallel with ‘instant’change over.
Overcoming the potential single points of failure evident in conventional TDM-based systems assures total peace of mind, and alsooffers the possibility of two complete Vista X surfaces working on the same project at the same time, enabling very large, dual
language or multi-format productions to be undertaken with ease.

Vistonics. FaderGlow.
A revolutionary approach to stress-free mixing
Vista mixing engineers are freed from the burden of complex mental mapping necessitated by the process of digital audio mixing
using a central screen. Studer’s revolutionary Vistonics™ interface builds Vista X’s rotary controls and buttons directly into the flat
screen displays which provide visual feedback. Each audio function is always associated with the same colour – red for EQ andfilters, green for dynamics, and so on.
Another Studer innovation, FaderGlow™, combines with assignable channel naming to further reduce stress by illuminating eachfader in the colour relating to the relevant function, creating an instant overview of console status.

Vistonics. Detailed visual feedback, right where it’s needed.

Comprehensive metering
A better view means a better the mix
The Vista X control surface displays everything you need to see in a format you
can readily comprehend. There’s a large scale bargraph meter for every channel
from mono to surround, plus a history display of the last 50 seconds of audio tocapture those annoying clicks and overloads so hard to find in a multi-mic live
show.

VistaMix
Automated microphone mixing for unscripted panel shows
Essential for live, multi-mic, unscripted events such as talk shows and game shows,
VistaMix™ automatically mimics the actions of a highly skilled human operator,
increasing gain for ‘talking’ mics and reducing gain for all others at lightning speed
to create a clean live mix without spill or ambience.

Who’s going totalk next?

Individual weight controls allow the host to be audible, evenin the most demanding of shows.

Seamless integration
Upgrading the mixer shouldn’t mean changing the workflow
Studer’s AutoTouch Plus Dynamic Automation System allows the most complex automation tasks to be carriedout within a clear and logical workflow while EMBER support provides seamless integration with broadcast andnewsroom automation systems.
Vista X exists for pain free live production, with dedicated controls for extensive snapshot filtering, buttons fortalkback and user-programmable functions, configurable matrix busses, dedicated mute groups and stress freeoutside source management. Vista X interfaces with all major DAW systems. Many DAW functions can bedirectly controlled on the console, where innovative operating concepts such as StripSetup and Ganging bring
DAW integration to a new level and greatly enhance the production workflow.

Surround sound made easy
Acquire. Manage. Upmix.
Vista X makes it easy to acquire and manage multichannel audio sources while Virtual Surround Panning(VSP II) empowers the operator to take mono sources and create a realistic sound field (stereo up to 7.1)
modelled around a few simple parameters.

Key parameters can be adjusted directly via touch on the Vistonics screen without the need to spill single
mono or stereo channels to additional faders.

Because great broadcasting is never simple
The new Infinity Core provides twelve high-capacity Studer A-Link fibre audio interfaces, providing more than 5000 inputs andoutputs. Studer’s new high density D23m I/O system is used to breakout these A-Link connections to standard analogue, digitaland video interfaces. Local and remote I/O frames can be fitted with a wide variety of I/O cards to configure optimised systems
for studio-based productions and outside broadcasts.
The A-Link interface also provides direct connection to the industry-standard Riedel MediorNet distributed router allowing
many Infinity systems to be connected together with router capacities of 10,000 square or more.
