Vista
Imagine...
Imagine if you could design your lightshow the way you see it - visually. Imagine if you didn't have to convert your mind's eye into a complex series of numbers, then spend ages punching them in. Imagine if you could create lighting effects the way you'd create a painting - with broad brush strokes.

Well finally someone has built a console with you, the lighting designer and operator, in mind. A console that releases your creativity by removing all the hassle and tedious hack work of programming, a console that is fast and easy to use.

That console is the Jands Vista, and it will completely change the way you create your lightshows. Once you've tried it, we reckon you'll never want to go back to the old number-crunching grind.


Vista T4
Vista T4

A superb example of functional design, the T4 is quite simply the most sophisticated, powerful and easy-to-use lighting console available today.

The T4 is the ultimate, all-in-one lighting package. Using the large 15" pen tablet screen, precision encoders, keyboard, and CD-burner, you can create your shows quickly and easily in the console, save them, then run them using a huge selection of live controls.

The T4 provides a massive array of the features that make the Vista such a great live desk: big LCDs, 30 playbacks (20 with faders), four DMX outputs and timecode input, and six encoder wheels for manipulating intensity, position, colour, gobo and beam.

Vista T2
Vista T2

Sometimes you need all the sophistication and power of a full-scale desk, but you simply don't require that many live controls. If you're working with shows like this, but you still want the ease and sophistication of the Vista T4, the T2 is the model for you.

The T2 offers all the software and hardware features of the T4, but in a highly-portable format. Instead of 30 playbacks, the T2 provides 15 - still plenty of live controls, but designed specifically for shows that have more straightforward control requirements.

There's no need to resort to old-style consoles and the tedium of number-crunching programming simply because the T4 is too big for your requirements. The Vista T2 is the answer.
