Vista by Chroma-Q® Announces Vista 3 Release 5

Vista by Chroma-Q®® has released Vista 3™ Release 5 (R5), the latest update to its professional lighting and media control software trusted by leading rental companies, production houses, and lighting designers worldwide.

Building on Vista 3’s intuitive yet powerful workflow, Release 5 introduces hundreds of enhancements and new features designed to expand creative control, improve integration, and streamline production workflows across live entertainment and installed environments.

Key Features in Release 5:

Advanced Show Control Integration:
Open Sound Control (OSC) support enables full remote control of Vista’s physical console. This allows users to develop custom control applications and unlock powerful integration opportunities across a wide range of industry sectors.

Streamlined Production Workflows:
Vista now supports CSV file import for cue structure, notes, and timecode data from third-party tools such as CuePoints and Reaper. The enhanced “Learn Timing” feature allows programmers to capture timing directly from external playbacks or cuelists, making it possible to record timecoded shows as naturally as operating live.

Dynamic Timing Control:

The new “Time Masters” component introduces effect-master style control for timing parameters throughout the application. Users can create customizable, hands-on controls and assign them to both physical hardware and on-screen elements for fast, precise timing adjustments.

Action Grids:
The flagship addition in Release 5, “Action Grids” provide a highly visual, customizable workspace for programming and playback. With drag-and-drop organization and intelligent auto-population, “Action Grids” allow real-time modification of stage looks without the need to pre-program multiple variations— delivering exceptional flexibility during live performance without scripted macros or third-party plugins.
