Eagerly awaited and now a reality, Soundcraft's first large-format
digital live desk, the Soundcraft Vi6 console is in fact already
ahead of the pack, being third-generation thanks to a joint
development with sister console company Studer. The console is
heralded as the first in a wide range of digital consoles to come
from Soundcraft over the next two years.
The Soundcraft Vi6 console has been designed using the proven
reliability of Studer's Vista and On-Air 3000 series of consoles,
and, more importantly perhaps, uses a derivation of the Vistonics
user interface (Vistonics II) to allow the engineer to operate the
desk intuitively. Vistonics II uses the same type of touch-screen
colour TFT monitor with integral rotary controls and switches
mounted on the glass to provide a 'where you look is where you
control' user interface.
Audio Channels
Max number of simultaneous mixing channels 96 mono inputs into 35 Outputs. Pairs of mono inputs can be linked
to create stereo channels.
Insert points 24 insert send/return pairs can be configured (using available I/O)
and assigned to any of the 96 inputs or 35 output channels.
Direct Outputs All 96 input channels can have direct outputs in addition to their
internal bus routing, assuming sufficient I/O is available (eg
optical MADI card).
Busses 32 Grp/Aux/Matrix, plus main LCR Mix and LR Solo busses (maximum
of 16 matrix outputs can be configured).
Connectivity
Connection from local rack to stagebox: Standard fit: Cat5 or Cat7
cable, with Amphenol RJF connectors. Optional: Fibre Optical
interface card (additional cost).
Max distance, local rack to stagebox: 80m using flexible
reel-mounted Cat5 cable, 130m using Cat7 permanent installation
cable.
GPIO facility: There are 16 GPIO contact closure inputs and outputs
on the local rack, and 8 inputs and outputs on the stagebox.
MIDI: There is 1 MIDI In and 2 MIDI Outs on the rear of the control
surface.
