This firmware version supports:
New Trigger Event: Data Availability
Create a flow of events to occur when a source of live data is detected or lost. For example, play a background effect on loop while a lighting console is switched off, and automatically return to live data when the console is switched back on.
-
Set a trigger to fire when live data is lost – create a backup course of action in case of a fault, or if the live data has been intentionally deactivated.
-
Set a trigger to fire when live data becomes available again – create a flow of events to take place when the fault is cleared, or if live data has been intentionally switched back on.
Redesigned and Improved Management Interface
User-friendly features have been added including dark mode, collapsible sidebar and convenient notification messages.
