Vista I3 Console

Secure and convenient

With the I3 there‘s less to carry with you to gigs and fewer connections to make when you get there. Featuring an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, the I3 gives you all the computing power you need to run dazzling shows. The built-in processor operates using Linux and is dedicated solely to running the Vista software. This means you don‘t have to worry about conflicts with other software applications or hardware, or operating system updates that can change your setup unexpectedly.

Connections, connections

You can attach two external monitors (DVI & VGA) and, if you like to work with a pen-tablet, you can plug it in as the main monitor. You can even attach an (optional) monitor arm to the side of the console.

The four DMX outputs give you plenty of connections to lights and dimmers and you can also connect Artnet or Pathport compatible devices through the Ethernet port. The I3 also features seven USB ports so you can connect other Vista products (such as the S1 and M1) when you need extra playback or programming controls, or when you want to save or load your creations using a memory stick or external drive.

If you want to remote control the I3 you can connect over ethernet using VNC or you can send simple text commands via the RS-232 port. The I3 also accepts Linear timecode, Midi timecode and Midi Show Control.

Choose how many channels you want

While the full-size Vista gives you up to 8192 DMX channels, for smaller shows where you don‘t need that sort of flexibility you‘ll want to keep your costs down. The I3 features a ’dongle‘ that determines the number of channels available: you can choose whether you want 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 or 8192 channels, simply by choosing the ’dongle‘ that‘s best for you.

All the live features of the Vista

The I3 gives you all the features that make the Vista such a great live desk: big, clear LCDs, fader banks you can split or combine and a set of modifier buttons. With 20 playbacks (10 with faders), four DMX outputs, timecode input midi input and three encoder wheels, you‘ll have all the control you need. Of course, the I3 also features the Vista‘s incredible generic fixture model, so no matter what rig you‘ve programmed your show for, theI3 adapts automatically if you have to run the same show with a different rig, without the need for re-programming.
