Vista by Chroma-Q announces their Vista 3 lighting and media control software.
Vista 3’s intuitive yet powerful approach to lighting and media control has been embraced by major rental companies, production houses, and lighting designers worldwide.
As part of Chroma-Q‘s ongoing commitment to increased functionality and enhanced capability, Vista 3 R4 contains over 200 improvements and new features.
Some major highlights include:
Support for the Newtek NDI video protocol – Video content from any NDIâ„¢ source on the network can now be directly streamed into Vista’s matrix pixel mapper, taking advantage of Vista’s powerful pixel arrangements and 11+ colour control without the need for any third-party lighting data merges.
NDIâ„¢ sources can also be viewed directly within Vista in dedicated content preview windows. These could be from a media server, visualizer, or even live studio or stage camera.
Ableton™ Link support – Ableton Link is a technology that keeps devices in time over a local network. Link can be found in over 200 platforms across a range of products, including DJ Decks, band click tracks, media servers… and, of course, Ableton™ Live. Vista is now able to synchronise chases or FX masters to Link, ensuring that dynamic stage looks always stay perfectly in sync with the performance, requiring no further input from the lighting console operator, even if the performance increases or decreases tempo.
