AFC Image console control and support for the latest Shure products

Improvements

• Improved the performance of the connection between CL/QL Editor and the console when used on networks with high latency.

New features

• Now supports control of AFC Image from the console, allowing object panning and scene recall.

• Added support for the latest Shure product variants and new RF Bands in the QLX-D, ULX-D and Axient Digital product lines.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a rare problem in which CL/QL consoles interfered with TCP communication of other networked devices when used together with a DHCP server and those devices were rebooted.

• Fixed a bug in which the remote control status would occasionally not update from SYNCHRONIZING to CONTROLLABLE when Rio3224-D2/Rio1608-D2 were mounted.

• Fixed a bug in which, in Sends On Fader mode on the QL series, any MATRIX buses might not be selectable as the destination when switching the MATRIX page on the function access area to MIX then back to MATRIX.

• Fixed a bug that prevented the Console ID from being changed from 1, when additional devices such as Tio1608-D were mounted on QL Series consoles, or when the word clock source was changed from Dante on the QL series.

Open issues

• If a device running V5.80 or later has been enrolled in Dante Domain Manager and then is downgraded to V5.70 or earlier, the Dante module may occasionally not work correctly and control of the module is not possible.
  In the event of this happening, re-enroll the device in Dante Domain Manager and then restart it.
  Alternatively, initialize the device and its Dante settings* but make sure to back up the console data before initializing. * While holding down the [STORE] key and the [INC] key (CL series), or the master section A and B [SEL] keys (QL series), turn on the power to the device to initialize it.

• The following problems are found in version 8.1.1 of QL StageMix.
  If the QL StageMix screen is switched from the Master Bank that shows the Stereo/Mono levels properly to another bank and then returned to the Master Bank via the Navigation/Meter Bridge, the level meters in the Master Bank become inactive. This can be solved by rebooting the application or changing the metering points for Output Channels from the SETUP options.
  QL StageMix is often forced to terminate if a scene is recalled via a console just after the DANTE NAMES TO CHANNELS function in the Input Port Patch OPTIONS menu is executed. This can be solved by rebooting the application.

• The console may become inoperable after a "kernel sysdwn" message due to an unexpected error.
  If this happens, the console needs to be restarted. However, since all the settings including Dante settings* will be initialized to the default, please back up data regularly. * It will be set to DAISY CHAIN after the initialization. If the console is used via a redundant connection, unplug the Dante network cable first before reconfiguring the Dante settings.

• A device enrolled via DDM (Dante Domain Manager) rarely appears with a “ VIRTUAL” indicator on the DEVICE MOUNT page. If this indicator is shown, press the REFRESH button.

• A message "NETWORK AUDIO MODULE FAILED. PLEASE RESTART THE CONSOLE" is rarely displayed if you turn on the console and other Dante devices simultaneously. In this case, restart the console.

• If Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) is patched to the QL series device using Dante Controller, the patching may not be recalled correctly when the QL series device is restarted. In such cases, patch the DVS again. In addition, when using a version of DVS for Windows that is older than v3.2.0, patches after CH41 cannot be performed from QL series consoles.

• Loading of a file created by CL series version V1.15 or older will not include the mount information of Dante devices other than any connected R-series. It is the same when recalling a DANTE INPUT PATCH LIBRARY. Please reset MOUNT, PATCH, and DANTE INPUT PATCH Library data.
