Studer has unveiled its Compact Remote Bay, allowing access to a Vista’s console settings from anywhere in a venue.

A little larger than a standard laptop, the Compact Remote Bay provides 12 motorised Penny & Giles faders and 40 rotary controls that lare inked to a 19-inch touchscreen running Studer’s Virtual Vista software – emulating the console’s Vistonics interface.

As well as remote operation, the Compact Remote Bay may 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.

For portability and transit protection, the screen folds down over the control surface.
