USA - A Jands Vista L5 console was chosen by Chicago based lighting designer, Robb Jibson of So, Midwest Inc. to control lighting and media for multi-platinum selling rockers, Incubus. Sharing the headline of the North American 2012 Honda Civic Tour were Grammy award winning rap-rock outfit, Linkin Park.
Jibson was first introduced to the Jands Vista platform earlier in the year when he was supplied a Vista L5 on the Australian leg of Incubus tour. Although initially cautious, he was immediately impressed by Jands' flagship console with its powerful Vista v2 software, and after using it chose to make the swap to the platform at the first opportunity.
Initially using a Vista T2 for Incubus spring run, then a Vista L5 for the high profile Honda Civic Tour, Jibson explains that as a designer he likes his consoles "to be as intuitive and easy as possible to operate", stating that "the Vista absolutely delivers on all levels."
With complex timing changes, intricate programming, an extensive lighting system and multiple video content and input layers, Robb's design required a fast workflow, which the Vista's simple, powerful interface helped him achieve.
The L5 ran the system via Art-Net on the Honda Civic tour, which proved to be rock solid.
