Upgrading to 1.9 questions

Hi ETC.  If the amount and scope of changes warrant calling this upgrade ONLY 1.9, the changes for 2.0 must be huge!  WOW!

I do have some questions about 1.9, however:

With the [Swap] key being used for [Tab], is there a replacement key?  Do I contact you, or my local dealer?

Updating the firmware for 2x10 wings: I have multiple 2x10 wings on a console (hardwired).  the upgrade instructions says to repeat for each 2x10.  Does this mean I need to run the firmware upgrade twice on one console?  How does the console know which 2x10 is left to upgrade?

I've looked at the 1.9 video on Youtube, and I understand (sort of) HOW to use the new [Update] commands.  I'm lost on WHY or WHEN (conceptually) for these changes.  Can someone give me some examples of why people wanted these?  Is {By-type} just faster than building a group of the same instruments, and then dialing in the CP for all of them? (I don't have much in the way of DMX devices).

Thanks.

  • Hi Andrew,

    I can field your 2x10 wing upgrade question. In Settings->Maintenance you will see the a list of all currently attached devices at the bottom.  I assume you'll see something like "ION Face Panel ####### v1.1" and multiple "ION 2x10 Submaster Rev B/C ########  v1.0"

    Highlight one of the 2x10 Fader Wings, then click Update. After a brief pause while it updates, you should see the unit in the list with v1.2 after it.

    Repeat the process for each wing until they all have v1.2 listed.

    I hope this answers your question.
