The Vista USB Console is an operating control surface designed for use with the Vista software running on a user supplied host computer. The host computer powering the S3, S1, or M1 product is a Windows PC or Intel Macintosh. The USB Console and the Vista software for the PC or Macintosh are purchased and supplied separately, and you’ll need both packages to get your lighting control system up and running. In addition the Vista USB consoles can be used in conjunction with the Vista L5, T4, T2 or I3 console to extend the front panel control surface via USB cable and does not require a computer. What’s supplied The Vista control surface is supplied with: • a USB Type-A to Type-B cable • an IEC power cable (except M1).

Vista L5, T4 and T2 products are factory fitted with a dongle. Normally your supplier will fit the dongle to the USB Console when you buy it, but if it hasn’t been fitted you can either: • plug the dongle into any available USB port on the computer or the rear panel of the console, or • have your dealer fit the dongle to the internal USB port on the USB Console (S3 and S1 only).
