Document Version 13.0 – 2023-08-08



Introduction

Version 10.4.0 is a major release version for mc² consoles based on the A__UHD Core Phase 2 technology. Version 10.4.0 adds in various new functionalities to the system, like User Lists in MCX, Signal Ownership for Source Parameters and Health in HOME.

This software release applies to the following products:

  • mc²96
  • mc²56 MKIII
  • mc²36 MKII
  • A__UHD Core

  • A__stage series

  • A__digital64

  • A__madi4/6 (running NodeSys 2.6.0)
  • A__mic8 (running NodeSys 2.6.0)
  • mc² Compact I/O (running NodeSys 2.6.0)
  • Power Core Gateway


A__UHD Core Redundancy Groups in Release 10.4.0

In Release 10.2.4, separating and rejoining redundancy groups will lead to newly assigned Group IDs. This results in new addresses for External Tie-lines whenever this process is being done. Release 10.4.0 resolves this issue - however the resolution only applies, if a redundancy group has been separated and rejoined once, which will result in a new final Group ID one more time. Any separation/join process will not create new Group ID afterwards.

Upgrading HOME Cluster to Release 10.4.0

Temporary internet connection is required, when upgrading a HOME cluster to HOME 1.6.0.

Update redundant A__UHD Cores safely

When upgrading A__UHD Cores that are part of a redundancy group, please follow the procedure below:

  • The primary A__UHD Core should be active.
  • Update the passive/backup A__UHD Core first.
  • After successful update - turn off the backup/passive A__UHD Core.

  • Update the primary A__UHD Core

  • When primary comes back online, power up the backup/passive A__UHD Core again.

Using NodeSys Upgrader will handle this automatically - beware to enable automatic failovers in NodeSys Upgrader, once the upgrade is finished.

Breaking Changes 10.4.0

  • MCX Ember Provider: Remove trailing whitespaces from scribs/labels upon getValue.
  • MCX Ember Provider (applies from Release 10.4.0.9). Any external Ember+ connection will be disconnected upon production load. External controller will have to reconnect again. Will prevent flooding external controllers with Ember+ data. 

New Features

Signal Ownership

HOME can configure Signal Ownership groups for controlable source signals like microphone preamps. Ownership can be taken from the mc² console UI. Definition of Signal Ownership groups and Ownership assignment is stored and loaded from HOME Snapshots.

Receiver Protection in HOME

In HOME, receivers can be protected in order to prevent accidential routing. A note can be added, when protecting the receiver, in order to give an information, why this receiver is actually been locked. Receiver Protection is stored in and loaded from HOME Snapshots. This protection mechanism is entirely independent from MCX.

Health in HOME

HOME introduces a Health notification functionality to monitor health and availability status of the system.

User Lists in the mc² Signallist

It is now possible to configure system wide or production/user wide User Lists in the Signallist in the mc² console. Using "//" in the user list label allows to configure one level of sub-directories.

Signal Isolates in MCX

It is now again possible to configure system wide or production/user wide Signal Isolates in the mc² console.

B and C Inputs available for any Signal Routing Destination

A/B/C Inputs as known from DSP Input Channels are now available for any Routing Destination of the Signallist. Switching to B or C can be done using the right-click Signal Settings pop-up in the Signallist. Switching a range of channels can be done in TCL, but has not been added as a Custom Function yet. A/B/C selection is stored and loaded from productions and snapshots but can be isolated using Global Snapshot ISO.

Strip Assign Rework in mxGUI

The Strip Assign page in mxGUI has been reworked to display strip metering now. The back layer display has been removed by a FLIP button. It also follows Fader Ctrl mode, in order to control e.g. Aux Sends.

Adaptions for A__UHD Core NodeSys devices

  • Make us of LUX in the WebUI.

  • Advance the WebUI Health Screen and add PTP and sender/receiver status there.

  • Suppress the Initial Setup Screen in the WebUI after minor Upgrades.

  • Configure static routes and NTP (only using Ember+ provider).

  • A__stage / A__digital64: FAN LED on the device front-plate does now display the correct status.
  • Netmask of /31 can now also be set using the WebUI.
  • 1 Ch SDPs are now accepted.

Local Loopback and RX Buffer Replication for NodeSys end-points

The end-points using the NodeSys firmware now allows to subscribe:

  • Its own streams
  • One stream multiple times

Be aware, that the four Streaming units of an A__UHD Core still subscribe to streams independently (e.g. subscribing to a stream on strm0 and strm1 will still fetch the stream twice from the network).

Improved Fan Control for mc²36 MKII

The fan speed control algorithm for the mc²36 MKII internal A__UHD Core has been reworked, to reduce the fan-noise in silent but climate-controlled environments.

LCU Integration in HOME (as part of HOME Cluster experimental features)

HOME can now spawn a Device Proxy to introduce LCU devices to the system. The Device Proxy communicates with the LCU via Ember+, the three microphone input gains (only the gain value) and the HPF can be adjusted from the mc² consoles. LCU communication cannot go via NATS Relay, but there needs to be direct L2 or L3 communication between HOME Services and the LCU.

Nova73 Integration in HOME

HOME can now spawn a Device Proxy to control a Nova73 incl. its associated I/O systems e.g. DALLIS. HOME handles the Nova73 as one big monolithic I/O system and presents it in that way towards other devices in HOME. The same feature set is provided as for any other I/O system (e.g. A__stage80). This is especially required for any customer, who is upgrading from a Nova73 based system, but keeps his I/Os in place.
This requires the Nova73 to run at least version 6.4.0.18.

Breaking Changes History

BREAKING CHANGES: Version 10.2.4.x introduced breaking changes compared to previous versions

  • Ember Provider Channel metering is now using the Ember streaming format instead of int64.
  • Compressor and Expander Hold parameter has been removed from the Ember Provider, since it actually is not available in the system.
  • Physical GPIOs are no longer available in Command Trigger and Ember+ Provider of MCX, but may only be used using TCL. Physical GPIOs need to be connected to vGPIOs in Home, in order to use them in MCX.
  • The Aux Bus pickup point has been removed, previous Aux Bus pickups are automatically converted to Aux AF (after fader).


PRODUCTION / SNAPSHOT INCOMPATIBLITY: Release Version 10.2.0

Release 10.2.0 introduced incompatible hash-codes, resulting in newly created external device signals in the console, being incompatible with the ones being restored from productions and snapshots. Release version 10.2.2 is required, in order to properly load and restore production files coming from 10.0.2 and 10.0.0. This only affects native Home devices like A__line devices. External Tie-lines and Third-Party proxies are not affected by this. Productions created with 10.2.0 are not compatible with versions > 10.2.0 and need manual porting! If this is required please reach out to AP PL!


BREAKING CHANGES: Version 10.2.0.x introduced breaking changes compared to previous versions

Over Snap Incompatibility: 

  • Over Snaps that have been created with 10.0.0 or 10.0.2 release versions are not compatible with 10.2.0 and will be discarded!
  • Over Snaps that have been created with 6.4.0 release versions are compatible and will be loaded.

Behaviour of receivers of A__UHD Core and A__line (NodeSys): 

  • If one routes a source stream with fewer channels (S) than the receiver (R), then only the first S audio channels of the receiver will have signal.
  • If one routes a source stream with more channels (S) than the receiver (R), then only the R audio channels as specified by the receiver will be present.

Ember+ Provider: 

  • The panning granularity of all DSP channels and GPCs has been changed to +-100. Depending on the implementation of an Ember+ consumer, this may break compatibility!
  • Output DSP gain parameter range has been changed from -128 ... 15 to -4096 ... 480 with factor 32 in order to be consistent with other gain parameters in the Ember+ tree.


BREAKING CHANGE: Version 10.0.2.6 introduced one breaking change about NATS Relay configuration!

If the system relies on NATS Relay on the A__UHD Core (the A__UHD Core forwards NATS messages from media networks to a Gateserver in the management network, this is e.g. mandatory for mc²36 MKII) you have to adapt your system by invoking the following command on the Gateserver:

rm -r /data/config/home
rm -r /data/config/nats/cluster.conf
touch /data/config/nats/leafnode.conf


BREAKING CHANGE: Version 10.0.2.5 introduced one breaking change in the Ember+ provider!

Output DSP gain parameter range has been changed from -128...15 to -4096...480 with factor 32 in order to be consistent with other gain parameters in the Ember+ tree.


BREAKING CHANGES: Version 10.0.2.1 introduced breaking changes with respect to TCL configuration and Ember+ provider!

TCL Configuration File Locations: 

Please be aware that from now on MCX expects its TCL configuration files in a different location. The location has been changed from /data/config to /data/config/mcx.

This change affects both physical systems, as well as mxGUIs with an externally mounted mxgui_config_share and in the case of the latter it affects the configuration for each product type individually.

For physical systems and mxGUIs the new versions include a helper script migrateEarlyPhase2Config (that can simply be invoked from CLI) to convert a set of configuration files to the new structure. In case of a physical system the script has to be executed once and then has to be followed by a reboot of the system.

For mxGUIs multiple conversions can be performed subsequently by passing an explitcit base path as the one and only argument to the conversion script.

Please note, that further custom configuration files (such as Mackie HUI or special custom configs) might need to be adapted manually!

Ember+ Provider: 

  • In the signal's 'labels' node, the identifier changes from 'userLabel' to 'user'. /signals/{sources,targets}/<signalId>/labels/userLabel becomes .../user. Furthermore, there have been added more parameters in this node (namely 'userShort', 'startupShort', 'inheritShort'), making use of a new schema 'com.lawo.emberplus.labels.v1.0' instead of 'com.lawo.emberplus.signal.labels.v1.0'.
  • The AfV event identifiers have been changed from 'event1' to 'event-1' etc. /mixer/global/afv/eventX becomes .../event-X
