INTRODUCTION TO V4.5 & VM
The V4.5 software release adds important new functionality to the Vi family, primarily
in the form of a unique new patented feature called VM
information for AKG wireless microphones to be displayed directly within the channel
strip that they are connected to. This feature makes further use of Harman's HiQnet
network control protocol and brings many benefits including streamlining of the
workflow and increase in speed of problem diagnosis.
The V4.5 release also brings the operating software for all of the Vi consoles together
into a single version, which means that any type of Vi console can be updated from
now onwards using a single update file, downloadable from the Soundcraft website.
Bug fixes and improvements can now be implemented more quickly as only one
version of the code has to be maintained.
Although it has taken a significant amount of time to implement the V4.5 release, this
will pay dividends in the future, and code development will be significantly faster.
Soundcraft is fully committed to on-going support and development of the Vi platform!
