It has been three years in the making and now it is time JOIN THE EVOLUTION. Jands are pleased to announce that a public beta release of Jands Vista 2 “Byron” is now available for download.

This public beta release exhibits the new platform that has been rebuilt from the ground up to enable Jands to continue expanding the development of the Vista operating system for years to come. Jands Vista 2 “Byron” is the result of extensive user feedback and the refinement of every aspect of the Vista as well as the introduction of a host of new features that make it even faster and easier to work with your Jands Vista console. These include:

 

Fast Cue-List Navigation

Super search

Matrix Effects

Split fade times

A completely overhauled user interface

Media server control

Tracking back up.

 

 

Byron can be downloaded from http://www.jandsvista.com/download/public-beta/ and is available for Windows PC and Linux only. To obtain a copy of this public beta build, cut and paste the above link into your browser and fill in your details. You will receive an email which will allow you to download the build directly. If you do not receive this email within a few minutes please check your spam filter then email support@jandsvista.com if you have still not received an email. Full release notes, user manual and information regarding differences between Vista 1 and Vista 2 can be downloaded from the same location.

 

As this is a public beta release there are still some features we are working on for inclusion in later releases. This public beta build has undergone significant internal testing, many months of closed beta testing and limited live use. Jands recommends that before using on a live show users test the application themselves.

 

Enjoy...

I saw Byron in action at a Jands workshop at WAAPA in Perth, very easy system for programming movers and effects.

 

Worth a look and play.

Updated our vista S3 yesterday.

 

First impressions are that it is a big improvement over Vista 1, The updated GUI looks good. Easy upgrade, the same great functionality which makes Vista so flexible with a host of new features and additions. So far no problems on initial testing. The rig was patched quickly and we had control of all our fixtures within ten minutes of making the switch.

 

Looking forward to learning the new software and using what feels like a new desk.

 

Thank you JANDS.
