Latin America. Shure releases the latest version of its Wireless Workbench® System Control Software, Version 6.12. The update is designed to put maximum power and flexibility in the hands of the user. The addition of several new features will help wireless system users better manage and control wireless system performance over the network, from pre-show planning to post-presentation analysis.
Shure has created Timeline, a new logging utility designed to capture essential information on the state of channels over time. The information it records includes RF level, audio level, interference, ShowLink Remote Control status, and battery level. By using optimized data storage, Timeline can record information from all networked channels for an indefinite period, provided that sufficient system resources exist.
The capture and visualization of the recorded data allows users to troubleshoot problems with the operation of the wireless system and determine their origin, should they arise. Wireless Workbench allows maximum control over the information deployed, allowing a complete customization of the visualized data to better meet the needs of users.
Version 6.12 also includes a new set of frequency coordination enhancements, designed to provide greater flexibility and control to those users who need to coordinate solutions with a large number of channels, such as:
- Scan Peak Management to process and classify peaks more accurately in recorded data
- Ignore IMDs to manually ignore the intermodulation spacing parameters (or IMDs) associated with a given set of frequencies, allowing for a greater number of calculated frequencies
- Customizable Coordination Order to adjust the coordination order of frequencies by dragging and dropping frequency groups into the Coordination Workspace.
- Now with version 6.12, you will be able to connect to devices from a remote location. With this update, Wireless Workbench 6 can be connected to devices outside the local network. Ideal for environments where devices are managed in separate subnets, such as separate VLANs, floors of an office building, or different scenarios in a park. This feature extends monitoring and control functionality beyond the local network to significantly increase flexibility and control.
To accompany the extended control range across subnets that Wireless Workbench now has, version 6.12 will also introduce support for Access Control, a new feature that will be added to certain Shure network devices. Access Control allows users to assign PIN numbers to networked devices in order to protect them from manipulation by any Shure control software that has not been authenticated. This protection allows a team of users to benefit from the monitoring aspects of Wireless Workbench without incurring the potential risk of changing the operating state of wireless systems.
"At its core, the enhanced features in Wireless Workbench 6.12 are dedicated to putting greater flexibility and more control in the hands of the users who need it most," said Sam Drazin, Associate Product Manager at Shure. "By incorporating Timeline, certain frequency coordination enhancements and Remote Device Connection, we are responding to the complex challenges of enterprise-level networking and high-level frequency solutions."
