Compact, powerful, cost-effective
The I3 is an incredibly compact and powerful lighting console that provides the software, the processor and the control elements of the Vista console. All you have to do is connect a screen, keyboard and mouse and youʼve got a fully operational Vista with exactly the same software and feature set as the full-size console.
Secure and convenient
With the I3 thereʼs 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 donʼt 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.
Choose how many channels you want
While the full-size Vista gives you up to 8192 DMX channels, for smaller shows where you donʼt need that sort of flexibility youʼll want to keep your costs down. The I3 features a ʽdongleʼ that determines the number of channels available: you can choose whether you want 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 or unlimited channels, simply by choosing the ʽdongleʼ thatʼs 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 and three encoder wheels, youʼll have all the control you need. Of course, the I3 also features the Vistaʼs incredible generic fixture model, so no matter what rig youʼve 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.
