01/2023

3.28.2

Features
 Recalling Snapshots & System settings is no longer blocked.
The validation of Snapshots & System settings contents was removed.
Snapshots & System settings remain usable even if there is a change in
project configuration, device settings or firmware that would otherwise
lead to a failed validation.
Instead of blocking the recall function, R1 now validates settings when
transmitting Snapshots or System settings contents to the device. A
message is shown and an R1 log entry is created when an unsupported
setting is detected.
 This applies to situations where , for example, a Snapshot or System
setting is sending Load match settings to a device whose loudspeaker
configuration has changed and Load match is no longer supported by
the new loudspeakers.
 Selecting 5D loudspeaker setup possible in R1 Service view.

When starting R1 using the 'R1 V3 Inital device setup' Start menu entry
(introduced in R1 V3.26.1) you can now also select 5D loudspeaker
setups. This simplifies device installation even further.
Bug fixes
 Snapshots & System settings created with 40D / D40 firmware version
V1.00.04 or lower are no longer conflicted when using firmware
version V1.02.03 or higher.
After the removal of Snapshot & System setting validation (see above),
existing Snapshots & System settings can now be recalled.
The conflict was caused by a name change of the data object for the
AutoStandby threshold. The value of the outdated AutoStandby
threshold is no longer written to the amplifiers when recalling old
Snapshots or System settings.
Note:
It is highly recommended to store affected Snapshots & System Settings
again with the desired AutoStandby threshold value. For this particular
operation, the use of the “Store” function is mandatory to actually write
the new object name.

  Matrix input, output and crosspoint controls no longer show an endless
hour glass when using DS100 redundancy.
 Storing System settings of 10D and 30D updated to also include:
LED mode.
 Storing System settings of 40D and D40 updated to also include:
Mute on override.
 Storing System settings of 5D updated to also include:
LED mode, Mute on override, Input DT1/DT2/DT3/DT4, Dante input
gain, Dante input used for AutoStandby, GPI mode, GPI function, Input
fallback target, Input override source.
 Using Snapshot “Update” function now maintains relative control values
stored as part of the Snapshot.

3.22.2

Notes
To use the 'Improved loudspeaker position & orientation for Soundscape
projects' feature Soundscape enabled projects must first be opened and
saved using ArrayCalc version 10.22.0 or higher.
Project files saved using the current R1 version 3.22.2 cannot be opened in
older versions of R1 or ArrayCalc.

Features
 Support of XSL(i)8 / XSL(i)12 on 30D amplifiers.
 Improved loudspeaker position & orientation for Soundscape projects.
The calculation of loudspeaker position & orientation for Soundscape
enabled projects was moved to ArrayCalc to obtain elaborated data.
This massively improves position & orientation data of monitors,
loudspeakers rotated vertically through more than ± 90° and
horizontal A-Series arrays.
 Device redundancy.
In the Device view of R1, two physical DS100 devices can be
configured to form one redundancy device .

Both, Device A and Device B, are treated as equal partners. Parameters

set in the (virtual) redundancy device in R1 are sent to both physical
devices provided both are connected.
When changes are made to one of the devices directly (e.g. using
OSC) or while one of the devices is powered off/in timeout, these
changes are not synchronized between the devices automatically.
Therefore a Sync option is provided to synchronize both physical
devices.
The controls and views of R1 only show values of either Device A or
Device B. You can define the device from which R1 should read by
tagging either A or B with a Read flag.
For more information, please refer to R1 Help contents.
 Device view update regarding DN1.
The Device view now provides extended information on DN1 Ethernet
ports on the General and Diagnostics tab.

www.dbaudio.com
  Improved dbRemID conflict dialog.
A conflict caused by multiple OCA devices using the same dbRemID
can now be solved from within R1. A dialog automatically pops up
when a conflict is detected. This dialog can be used to re-assign a
dbRemID to a device.

Bug fixes
 After changing a comment of a Device scene while online and having
the target device connected, the device now updates automatically.
 Remote controls readings of continuously updated device information
(e.g. level meters) do no longer get stuck showing the default value if
the firmware version of the device does not match the latest firmware
known to R1.
 Issue with Device conflict dialog (e.g. containing Model conflicts)
sometimes not closing automatically when error is resolved fixed.
Note: By updating DS100 Firmware to version 1.16.03 or higher
wrongly displayed 'not equal' status of Device scenes is fixed.
