NWare Release Notes
May 17, 2011 Version 1.6.2a.0 57
Release 1.2.6 (July 9, 2007)
Features
Faster Booting. The Nion now takes about 10 seconds less time to boot and start passing
audio.
XDAB failure retries are now limited. Previously, a bad cable could cause the units to
continuously retry to connect, resulting in bursts of audio output. Now, after a couple of
tries, the retry interval is increased (to a maximum of 30 seconds). This also may help units
that have problems achieving XDAB sync.
The CobraNet low latency (1.3ms and 2.6ms) modes are now supported.
The new installer by default installs the software in a unique directory and gives unique
shortcuts. This allows for the independent installation and removal of NWare versions.
When the new version of NWare (1.2.6) is run for the first time and finds a previous
version of NWare, it offers to copy configuration files, user-preference files, Custom
Devices, firmware zip files and Project files from the previously active version of NWare
(i.e. the one located in Program Files\MediaMatrix\NWare) into the new installation (i.e.
at c:\Program-Files\MediaMatrix\NWare1.2.6).
Note: If your previous installation was someplace other than
c:\Program-Files\MediaMatrix\NWare you will need to copy your files and reset your
preferences manually.
ControlMatrix devices have been removed from the standard device menu. If you need
these, use the NWare++ personality switch.
Added a System Status page to the front panel. This gives you a display of the CPU load.
This reflects the amount of control activity. If the 5 or 15 minute load readings are greater
than 2, you should consider reducing the control activity. Heavy load can be due to python
script problems, or too many Kiosk clients.
If too many recorders or players are included in a design (<12 for an N6) the NION will
compile properly but not run. Previously, this failure was difficult to diagnose. A more
descriptive error message is now written to the log.
Outstanding issues
The NIO-8i card +3dBu sensitivity is actually +15dBu. So when you go from 6dBu to
3dBu, the level will actually go 9dB lower instead of 3 dB higher. The workaround is to
set sensitivity to +6dBu and adjust Digital Gain to +3dB.
Mono recorders not been working in the last couple of releases. We have removed them
from the device menu until the problems have been fixed.
Bug Fixes
XDAB reliability bugs introduced in NWare version 1.2.5 have been removed.
Fixed a bug that was causing the grid to be drawn incorrectly at certain zoom settings.
