Vista invented the live-venue control concept by writing unique code that served to enhance the capabilities of other manufacturers' hardware by optimizing it for live events. This approach completely changed the way events were done. Vista then began creating its own hardware solutions to match the capabilities of the control software. Within a relatively short time Vista hardware and software set a new standard in the live event industry.
