Allen & Heath has released v1.50 firmware for its flagship dLive S Class and dLive C Class ranges, offering multiple improvements and additions to the scene system to meet the needs of theatre, festival and other complex show applications.
The Scene Update system enhancements include an improved Manual mode and new Auto-Tracking mode, both of which can apply changes in Absolute or Relative modes. Additionally, an enhanced GUI offering increased scope and granularity of parameter control has been implemented for Recall Filters and Global Safes. Festival-friendly tools to allow scenes to be imported from USB have also been added.
‘This release is well timed, with dLive appearing at many summer festivals these improvements to the scene system will provide an even smoother experience for both visiting and resident engineers,’ says Allen & Heath Pro Live Product Manager, Ben Morgan. ‘We have also seen a lot of dLive systems going into theatre environments, where these updates will help to streamline workflows.’
Also included in V1.50 is a comprehensive Midi over TCP/IP Protocol for integration with third-party equipment in installations and support for forthcoming new hardware.
Version 1.5 firmware is available to download immediately from the Allen & Heath website.
