Shure has released v6.12 software for its Wireless Workbench System Control Software, improving management and monitoring of wireless system performance over a network from pre-show planning to post-performance analysis.
Timeline is a new logging utility designed to capture essential channel status information over time. Information recorded includes RF level, antenna status, audio level, interference, ShowLink Remote Control status and battery level. With optimised data storage, Timeline can record data from all networked channels for an indefinite amount of time, given sufficient system resources. Capturing and viewing the recorded data enables users to troubleshoot wireless system operation and determine the source of issues, should any arise. Wireless Workbench provides control over displayed information, enabling complete customisation of the visualised data to best suit user needs.
Connecting to devices from a remote location is now supported with v6.12. With this update, Wireless Workbench 6 can connect to devices outside of a local network. Ideal for environments where devices are managed in separate subnets-separate VLANs, floors of an office building, venues in a park-the feature extends monitoring and control functionality beyond the local network for significantly increased flexibility and control.
To accompany extended reach of control across subnets, v6.12 adds support for Access Control – a new feature that will be added to select Shure networked devices. Access Control enables users to specify PINs for networked devices that protect the device from being manipulated by any Shure control software that have not authenticated. This protection lets a team of users benefit from the monitoring aspects of Wireless Workbench without incurring the risk of potentially changing the operational status of wireless systems.
‘At its core, the enhanced features in Wireless Workbench 6.12 are dedicated to putting increased flexibility and added control into the hands of users who need it most,’ says Shure Product Manager, Sam Drazin. ‘By adding Timeline, select frequency coordination enhancements, and Remote Device Connection, we’re addressing the complex challenges that come with enterprise-level networks and high-tier frequency solutions.’
