Back-up Systems
VISION 1 0/RB
Lighting control system with identical operational
capabilities as VISION 10 / ST, without front panel, for use
in a 19" rack or as a tower ..
It contains a CPU card, a power supply, an input/output
card and keyboard entry. The standard version includes a
monitor and an alphanumeric keyboard to provide access
to all the functions of the main system.
Two back-up modes are possible :
Level 1 - Floppy Disk Reader
The data created, functions programmed, assignments
and memories recorded in the main console are loaded
into the other system by means of a 1 .44 Megabyte floppy
disk. The two systems (main console and back-up) are not
synchronised .
In case of problem with the main console, as long as all the
data has been loaded into the back-up, the operator can
continue the show using the back-up's alphanumeric
keyboard.
The Kit
back-up from the front panel of VISION 10/ST.
Level 2 - Synchro Line
In this mode, two consoles are interconnected via a
synchro line. As soon as the connection is made, all the
data created, functions programmed, assignments and
memories recorded are stored simultaneously in both
machines.
Therefore, during a show, both systems send the same
data to the OMX outputs.
5N option allows user friendly operation of the
Synchro line
Via the synchro line, it is possible to link any console of the
VISION 10 family to another VISION 10 system, which then
becomes the back-up. The Kit 1
then be installed in both consoles.
For a perfect back-up, the second system must be fitted
with the same options as the main console .
N or Kit 2N option must
The second system may be:
• a VISION 1 0/ST
• a VISION 10/RB
• a VISION 10/CO (see relevant brochure)
The user can thus choose the solution which suits his/her
particular needs best.
