Control/Dimming Jands Vista is now Chroma-Q Vista

There are a lot of really inept websites, especially their search engines. The other day I went to the Full Compass site and searched for mic cases. It listed everything but. I bailed and went to Sweetwater, where I could easily find what I needed.
I strongly suspect that a major factor in the demise of Radio Shack was their horrible search engine. Search for a battery and get a list of every product that uses a battery. I don't drive miles to a store unless I have a reasonable expectation that they have what I need.

I agree totally with you @FMEng, one little problem is I think this somehow got posted in the wrong thread, I'm thinking it was meant for the Rosco Gobo thread. At least at Fullcompass you can look by brand which I sometimes do to speed thing up. I also really hate when you google or bing or yahoo search for an item, and you get tons of hits for paid ads for places that sell something kinda like what you are looking for.

Creating an accurate search engine and results relevant to what a person is looking for is almost a science.... It's definitely more difficult than I ever knew before i learned about it. Then you have to take into account google and their analytical rankings and rules.... that's why you hire experts... It can really make or break a sale (as shown above)

Meh, ChromaQ has just done what Chauvet and then Elation have done, realized they made a lot of fixtures and no way to control them. My perception of Jands market share is extremely low, at least in entertainment an music touring, even lower than Avo. In the last few years have seen hundreds of MA's on tours, a handful of Hogs, a smattering of Chamsys, a few Martin(now Elation) M1s and a few M2/pc/Mtouch, and ONE Jands Vista. To be fair in about 10 years I have seen one actual console and one pc wing setup. I am also not counting the "budget" rental companies like PSAV that still have Jands/Hog 500/1000's, and other relics.
The New Chamsys QuickQ look promising, for very basic operation. Zero88 is still trash and has poor support.

So did you go to GearFest? Or just on their website?
We've been pushing Sweetwater to get some better lighting gear, including Jands. I like Full Compass, but Sweetwater is ten minutes away...
I think it worked for them. I see Jands Vista a lot, and I love using it... I'm curious as to where they take it... and anxious.
The one thing I really like about Jands vs. every thing else in that class is they didn't just try and make a clone of a physical console on the screen, because that's a horrible UI choice.
Just looking, but I don't see any consoles with LCDs... that sucks. Without that, you can't tell what page you're on and paging becomes almost dangerously confusing. In fact, it looks like the LEDs on the buttons are gone which is a very bad thing.
At least my license will work for Vista 3.
FWIW, This was one hell of a show run from Vista. I managed to see it when they toured.

For your earlier question, I noticed it on the website.
Strange the lack of info on the Chroma-Q site. I snooped around a bit and since they don't have anything other than a simple datasheet for the Vista, I checked some of the downloads for other products. They list the download for their product certificates which gives you THIS.
Which led me to THIS
Just for fun their address got me this from GOOGLE
EDIT: You could always try their social media(Facepalm and that ilk) contacts, that works for some companies.

Your best bet is to contact the guys over at AC Lighting. They're fantastic about getting right back to you. They are the North American distributors for Jands and Chroma-Q.
