VERSION 1.1.

NEW FEATURES:

FLUX:: SPAT Revolution Integration:

• SPAT Revolution’s speaker editor now supports direct import of Venue Synthesis .vsyn files in version 24.07 or newer. This addition
enables the import of active speakers from Venue Synthesis along with optimization for speaker arrangement, including planar
normalization across different loudspeaker elevations.

• The Venue mode toolbar now includes a SPAT Revolution Reference tool (Venue > Add > SPAT Revolution Reference), which pro-
vides a customizable reference point called the SPAT Revolution reference to position the loudspeakers within SPAT.

• This new feature accelerates system design and simplifies the creation of immersive systems using Venue Synthesis and SPAT
Revolution.

Support for AE Compact (AC Series) speakers:

• The AE Compact speakers have been added to the Venue Synthesis speaker library.

• Horn type and orientation can be defined within the properties panel for applicable models.

Off-axis cut views in 2D modes:

• A new switch has been added to the 2D array cut views, allowing you to view the off-axis geometry of the chosen array. The user
can adjust the opening angle, which is preset to match the coverage angle of the loudspeaker model in use (such as +/- 45-deg
for A12).

• When activated, off-axis geometry is shown in the 2D workspace and two SPL over Distance graphs are generated, one for on-ax-
is and one for off-axis.

• This new feature is useful when trying to determine the necessary array “over-shoot” to cover off-axis areas. It can also help de-
termine if cabinet splay angles are appropriate for both the on-axis and off-axis coverage of an array.

Support for lines in 3D geometry import:

• Support for line segments has been added to the DXF import feature. This will be particularly beneficial when importing 2D draw-
ings that are created using programs such as AutoCAD and Vectorworks.

• Line segments are grouped based on their layer assignments within the imported DXF file, and the start and end points can be
used as “snap” points for the Pen Tool to draw 3D planes.

EASE GLL Export:

• Export EASE XGLC functionality has been added for supported products.

• Access the “Export XGLC” feature in Acoustics Mode from the hamburger menu in the System Groups panel.

3D Loudspeaker export:
• The enhanced 3D loudspeaker export feature now offers customizable settings for DXF output files, such as setting the level of
detail, choosing units, and layer grouping.

• Find the new feature in Acoustics Mode by going to the hamburger menu within the System Groups panel.

Home Screen Improvements:

• Right-clicking any recent project on the home screen now brings up a new context menu. The menu offers options to show the
project in its folder, remove it from the recent list, or delete it.

Status Indicator in Mechanics Mode:

• Mechanics Mode now includes a new Status indicator reflecting the mechanical condition of each array. Prior to version 1.1, this
information appeared under the Array Safety Factor field. The Array Status and Array Safety Factor are now represented as two
separate parameters.
IMPROVEMENTS:
• The 2D SPL over Distance views have been updated with a new mouseover feature. When hovering over the SPL graphs, a marker
will appear in the drawing view indicating the corresponding cabinet for that section of the graph.

• The Special Object Creator (SOC) automatically assigns the plane type as either Architectural or Audience based on the angle of
the plane. Nearly vertical or inverted planes default to Architectural. You can also assign the plane type to a whole segment by
right-clicking the segment line in the SOC interface.

• The QR code display will now only show QR codes for System Groups that are visible and not hidden.

• Incorporated a hover feature on the SPL color bar within Acoustics Mode to show the maximum SPL value throughout the venue.

• The right-click context menu for System Groups has been enabled in 2D modes. Options such as “Rename” and “Copy Position”
are now accessible.

• Horn rotation information for point source speakers has been added to the exported PDF Rigging Manual and the QR code for
ArrayLink.

• The Examples Library has been updated with a new project file that demonstrates the integration of Venue Synthesis with SPAT
Revolution.
• Revised the mechanical warnings and limits for SRX906LA and SRX910LA systems. Opening prior venue files in the latest version
of Venue Synthesis might display a mechanical alert.

BUG FIXES:
• Resolved multiple problems with the DXF import feature where, occasionally, DXF files were not importing successfully.

• Resolved a problem where the Autosplay algorithm was malfunctioning for V25-II systems outfitted with VT4889 AF and VTX4889
SF array frames.

• Resolved a calculation error for the Attachment Point Span distance when using VTX A-Series and B-Series systems with Sus-
pension Bars.

• Resolved a problem where the VRX932LAP was incorrectly using the 3D file of the VRX932LA-1.

• Selecting side-by-side suspension points for VTX S25 and VTX S28 now includes two Extension Bars by default.

• Fixed an issue with the line thickness in the exported PDF document.

• Fixed an issue where planes longer than 100 m (329 ft) would crash the acoustic engine.

• The correct attachment span and weight distribution is now calculated for side-by-side suspension points.

• Fixed a visual issue in Mechanics Mode related to VTX V25-II-CS system and the lever hoist position.

• Fixed an issue related to the load limits of ground stacked arrays.

VERSION 1.0.2

IMPROVEMENTS:
• Safety factor values are now shown with increased precision (added one decimal point).

• SPL and delay flags are no longer removed when Signal Generator parameters are adjusted.

• Reworked the UI in the 3D space, making it easier to differentiate the positive and negative sides of the X, Y and Z axis.
