Control Space Designer: Add output Voltage units to PowerMatch

Improvements

• Updated logos and branding to Bose Professional
• Add output Voltage units to PowerMatch (Vpeak), PowerShare-D (Vrms), and PowerShare-X (Vpeak) amplifier output control panel.
• Added suport for PowerShare-X (shortened to PSX throughout release notes) amplifiers including these visible new features

• Bose Professional Speaker PEQ support

1. Added clip limiter to limiter signal processing block for PowerShare-X amplifiers
2. Added custom limiter values and settings for PowerShare-X for Bose Professional Speaker EQs to match PowerMatch limiter performance

Ability to configure a PowerShare-X amplifier output in Hi-Z mode and apply Lo-Z limiter settings. This allows larger loudspeakers and subwoofers to run on single unbridged PSX1204 and PSX2404 channels with asymmetrical power-sharing

Hardware Settings Guide added to PowerShare-X amplifier properties view to assist integrators with rear-panel dip-switch configuration.

Added PEQ-8Band for each output channel of PSX, PowerMatch had PEQ-5Band

Amplifier properties mismatch checking and prevention

1. A mismatch means that a dip switch on the rear of the amplifier doesn't match software setting for output type, 2-ohm optimized, NRG save.
2. CSD will check that rear panel dip-switches and software output settings match when you attempt to go online and alert you to mismatches
3. prevention is done by excluding misconfigured devices from the Network Connection list when going online

• File Save As dialogue is presented when going online or offline with PowerShare-X amplifiers in the project when there is no Bose DSP (EX, ESP) or other Bose Amplifier such as PowerMatch acting as RTC/Main device to store the project file.

1. Though fixed signal processing settings (parameters) are stored with a PowerShare-X amplifier when no Bose DSP is present - additional settings such as groups, and notes will be lost unless you save the file locally and re-open it manually before resuming additional programming work.

Bug fixes

• Improved the layout and speakers of the ArrayEQ control panel.
• Automatically add Windows Firewall rules during installation.
• Improved Network Settings successful change message.

Audio Processing

• Fixed issue restoring ArrayEQ defaults
• Fixed issue where crashing CSD when adjusting ArrayEQ loudspeakers series

Open issues

• PSX does not perform impedance load monitoring during phase 1
• PSX cannot act as RTC/Main device during phase 1
• PSX cannot allow parameters sets, CC-xD, CSR controls to dynamically control the amplifier when offline during Phase 1
• PSX cannot use timers
• PSX Power-On state is always 'restore last settings' and this cannot be toggled offline
• All inputs wake up PSX from standby, and you cannot limit it to fewer inputs

Signal processing

• PSX amplifiers limiter behaves differently than PowerMatch or PowershareD, therefore custom limiter presets have been loaded in the Bose Professional Loudspeaker EQ preset files bank that come with CSD 5.12 They are different cases then PowerMatch pr PowershareD amplifiers.

ControlSpace Remote

• When using ControlSpace Remote 2.10, if there is an if PSX is in the design - Groups, PSETS, PSET Lists and RC Groups are not displayed in Builder. Previously defined programming still works. ControlSpace Remote 3.0 will correct this issue.

Important notes

• Windows XP and 8.0/1 are no longer officially supported.
