Improvements to how stereo channels can
be used as mono channels. To prevent
the occurrence of mono ports following
each other when assigned to two stereo
channels when Left to Both or Right to
Both are used.
Change to filters such that the endstop
creates a flat response. There will be an
additional setting past the end-stop which
turns the filters off rather than leaving
them at -3dB at 20Hz and 20KHz. This
allows HF filter on LFE without filtering
LF.
Left to Both and Right to Both switching
from the fader strip.
Support for Hydra I/O Unit - AD5600 48
mic/line in and 16 line out.
Support for Hydra I/O Unit - JB5607 32
AES in and 32 AES out.
Remove CUT, PFL and AFL messages.
An option to disable fader touch indication
and be able to save settings.
Remove storage of fader touch
information in memory.
Routing matrix screen - Similar to Spill-
routes screen, but includes all channels,
mains and auxes in addition. Spill Routes
screen will be removed.
For Surround CRLS and Meters 1-4
(Main 1 and Anc 1/2 on traditional style
monitor panels), TFT Meter width is now
dependent upon the source selected. The
TFT Meter will automatically change to
match the source.
Force Ownership drop on Hydra outputs.
This is to change so that the port can be
overpatched by another console after the
ownership is dropped.
Track Output screen.
Replay button and setup screen.
Channels selected by the replay screen
will flip to input 2 when the replay button
and EXEC is pressed. Memories will store
replay selections.
Divergence/Convergence on stereo
channels and groups.
EQ on main outputs including HF filter to
go down to 50Hz (for use as LFE filter).
Expander/Gate on main outputs.
Spill out Surround Mains - so that the spill
panel can be used to control each leg of
the surround main.
Spill panel to be used to control downmix
levels from surround channels and groups
to stereo busses. Spare button on the
spill panel will be used to select the mode
of the panel. Also controls Main output
stereo downmix on surround Mains.
Thicker Peak spot/Phase marker on TFT
meters.
Longer time constant on peak spot on
TFT meters.
Pre-insert delay on mains.
FrontEnd COM ports. If the entry
“SecondaryPCPort” is left blank in
cust1/ports.ini then the FrontEnd will
only connect to the console through the
primary port (PCPort entry). This can be
used if running the FrontEnd on a laptop
so only one COM port is available.
A change to the screen indicators for
primary and secondary control processors.
The active processor’s indicator will be
green. When the secondary processor is
not in use, but is in standby, ready to take
over should the primary fail, its indicator
will be amber.
