"We were interested in trying out the Vista S1 as we're thinking of buying an M1 or S1 for our small Catalyst rig in the US," said Lyles. "We run bullet security cameras as iMag along with content running on Resolume from our playbacks rack. I was also intrigued to see if I could run a larger show, such as an arena show, on a smaller console like the Vista S1."
Jands kindly lent Ian a Vista S1 console for the Groovin' The Moo tour and Lyles also had the opportunity to use it on a couple of theatre-size shows to see just how versatile it could be.
"I loved it!" he declared. "I can take the show from the Vista L5 and rearrange it to fit comfortably onto the Vista S1. The work flow is the same in fact you can bounce around between all of the Vista consoles very easily. Its compact size means it is portable and I could carry it onto a plane which is rather convenient for summer fly dates."
