Description
The Vi400/600 Control Module replaces the original "silver box" control module in a Soundcraft Vi4 or Vi6 console. It adds a faster processor and hard-soldered DisplayLink graphics outputs in place of the original PCI graphics card, and runs a variant of the V6.x software with a feature set matched to the Vi2/4/6 surface and Local Rack.
After the upgrade the surface still looks like a Vi4 or Vi6 and identifies as a Vi400 or Vi600 on its main menu screen. It suits owners who want to keep an existing surface in service, for example as a backup surface next to a new Vi5000 or Vi7000. The module fits the original connectors and chassis fixings, installs with basic tools and no soldering, and the job takes about an hour.
