Note re ViSi Remote
Please note that the current release of ViSi Remote (V1.1.2) only controls up to 72 channels on a Vi4. A new version of ViSi Remote (V1.1.8) is currently awaiting approval in the App Store which will allow control of all 96 channels on an updated Vi4. This is expected to be available for download within the next two weeks, we will announce this when it happens.
Bug Fixes
The following console bugs are addressed by this update:
• Time/date stamp of Show file was not updated when saving show
• Manual IP addresses in 192.168.1.xxx subnet could not be selected for HiQnet port
• Using a wireless router with IP address in 192.168.1.xxx subnet on the HiQnet port could stop connection to DSP core
• Console could restart when HiQnet connection unplugged
• Error messages generated when starting console up
The Virtual Vi Offline Editor software is also upgraded with the above bug fixes.
We strongly recommend that you keep your console up to date and install this new release as soon as possible!
Show File Compatibility Warning
Because of the upgrade of Vi4 mixing capacity, and to follow the market demand for better compatibility with Vi6, the layout of the channels within the fixed layers on Vi4 has changed. This means that input channels that were vertically paired in a Vi4 show made on the pre-4.7 software will be split apart and not be vertically aligned any more when this show is loaded on a V4.7 console. This means some work will be needed to reorganise channel layouts where vertical pairs have been used. This would have to be repeated for each snapshot, if individual snapshots exist within the show. Likewise if a show that was made on the new software is loaded onto a pre-4.7 Vi4 console, the same issue will occur, but in this case the recommended solution is to update the console to V4.7.
This issue is identical to the issue that used to exist when shows were transferred between a Vi4 and a Vi6, except that it will affect Vi4 users with their own shows made on the older software.
With horizontally paired channels, there is only the minor inconvenience that the pairing between the two channels will be removed when an old show is loaded on a 4.7 desk, in this case the pairing simply needs to be re-engaged and the show saved again. Snapshots will not be affected.
In the case of Vi1, 2 or 6 Shows, there will be no compatibility issues with shows saved on earlier versions of the software. Show File Compatibility Warning
