APEX CloudPower Firmware / IntelliCloud WebUI Update Release notes V1.3.0.R New features: - Support for 4ch Dante module. The CloudPower Dante board is a plug and play module which is automatically routed to the DSP input. The module is pre-fitted to CP354D, CP704D, CP1504D and CP3004D amplifiers and is available as a retrofit kit for other CloudPower 4 channel models. For 4 channel amplifiers, the four digital inputs can be mixed to each of the channels. - Support for 16ch Dante module. All CP716D amplifiers are pre-fitted with a Dante module which is automatically routed to the DSP input. Each of a CP716D’s sixteen digital inputs is sent to the corresponding input of the amplifier (Dante 1 – Channel A to Dante 16 – Channel P). This assignment is fixed. - Local and IntelliCloud WebUI support for CP716D. Previously the IntelliCloud WebUI and CloudPower front panel display were configured to display information from four channel devices. From V1.3.0.R, both IntelliCloud and the front panel display also support one channel and 16 channel modes. In the WebUI it is possible to see and quickly identify all the different devices and model types in the list of networked devices. All channels from a 16 channel network amplifier can be accessed from a four-channel device. - Single software supports all CloudPower products. The firmware is now identical for all CloudPower rack amplifiers and OEM plate amps. The model is stored in an internal memory and this defines the way the software displays the device through the front panel and the WebUI. - Lo-Z / Hi-Z mode switchable per channel. This mode automatically enables an appropriate high pass filter to avoid low frequency on a 70V/100V line. The feature is available for each channel of all four and 16 channel amplifiers. - Control all CloudPower models from the same UI (1/4/16 channels). All CloudPower amplifiers are now properly displayed on the IntelliCloud WebUI. To work correctly together, all amplifiers must be running the same software version. - Display channel speaker preset. When loading a speaker preset from the IntelliCloud WebUI, the user can choose to overwrite the channel name. For convenience and clarity, the loaded speaker preset will be visible per channel beside the channel name. Speaker presets loaded from the front panel automatically overwrite the channel label names. Improvements: - Copy PEQ settings across channels. The method of copying PEQ settings across channels has been updated. The audio response when applying PEQ settings to other channels is now much faster. Issues with the WebUI freezing when copying and processing commands to the amplifier have been resolved. - Real time data speed. The size of packets sent through the network to display real time gain and limiter data has now been roughly halved, decreasing the transmission and processing time on both the amplifier and web browser sides. The speed of real time data displayed when using the sixteen channel CP716D is now much faster than seen in earlier beta software. - Front panel display parameters highlighted. All editable audio parameters are now in green, increasing legibility and aiding navigation. Some changes have been made to pixel alignment and text length limitation. Bug Fixes: - Multiple UI bugs solved * Channels are now labelled A-B-C-D…, matching the corresponding inputs * Download speaker preset folder from the user interface * Overwrite channel label checkbox * Web UI load sequence properly initializes all modules * Device list VU meter position * Issue when displaying VU meters for 10+ devices fixed * Mixer slider default value properly initialized * Overview channel area horizontally scrollable * PEQ copy label position adjusted * Group assign area can be scrollable on low resolution screen - Access point on/off at boot. The last access point on / off setting is now applied after reboot. This resolves the issue in previous firmware versions where, after switching off the access point, it could come back on after a reboot. - Group name synchronized across amplifiers. When applying a new name to a group, this name is now synchronized with all amplifiers across the network. NOTE – only the last command sent to an amplifier in a group is applied to all devices in that group – there is no master for the group. Applying a new name on another amplifier after the first assignment will overwrite all names. - Group assignment. In previous firmware versions, quickly assigning multiple channels to a group could cause problems with channels appearing to be subscribed/unsubscribed and sometimes blinking. This issue has been resolved. - Large network UI speed. In previous firmware versions, some users reported UI responsiveness problems when using a large number of CloudPower units in a network. These responsiveness issues have been improved.
