Changes since 5.3.0
Instructions
- Download and extract the software package.
- Place it on a USB memory device and plug that into the P3 System Controller.
- On the P3 System Controller, go to Hardware Setting -> Firmware to start the update.
- On P3-100 and P3-200 System Controllers, please use recovery wizard if upgrading from software older than 5.0.0.
New Features & Improvements
- Added configuration of IP Address and Subnet Mask on MAC Aura XIP, VDO Atomic Bold, VDO Atomic Dot, PDE Junction Box and newer (when using fixture on direct Art-Net or sACN afterwards (IP configuration not relevant when using fixture on P3)).
- DMX transfers are now paused during fixture firmware upload to improve stability.
- Improved syslog / filelog output.
- Re-structured fixture and firmware library to prepare for upcoming fixtures.
Bug Fixes
- No longer dropping Art-Net connection when Art-Net source is changing IP Address.
- Fixed crash when ungrouping a group which has DMX controls patched to it.
- Fixed various other crashes.
Known Issues
- Controlling big screen with multiple P3-100 System Controllers may have synchronization issues (all resolutions).
- Signal input on P3-200 (DVI and SDI) is offset horizontally by 3 pixels (able to compensate via Video Offset parameter).
- SDI input on P3-200 unstable in specific conditions (connecting a random (non-used) DVI source solves this issue).
- S-Video input on P3-100 displaying artifacts in specific conditions.
