JBL Performance Software Changelog

VERSION 1.5.0

NEW FEATURES
Device Panel Multi-Selection

Items in the Device Panel can now be multi-selected to modify common controls across multiple devices simultaneously. This feature is useful for modifying the system settings of multiple devices, like display auto-dim, locking out the front panel, or putting the entire system to sleep with the “Force Sleep” function.
If a parameter is not common across selected devices, a grouped control will not be created.
If the settings between selected devices do not match, a mixed “-” or ≠ symbol will be displayed.
For more information on each parameter and how the data shown is derived, please refer to the User Manual.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS

The visual indication that a drag-and-drop operation is valid has been simplified when adding speakers to arrays or matching devices in Connect Mode. The destination device or array uses bolder colors to indicate valid and invalid operations, making it im-mediately clear what can or can not be done.
The DSP tab of SRX Device Panels now allows the speaker preset to be changed.
In the EQ or Calibration views, clicking anywhere in the row will now select the item.
A new “About” section was added to the Main Menu. This section displays the current software, cached firmware versions, and other app-related information.
Devices with incompatible firmware will no longer be able to match virtual devices in Connect Mode. Compatible firmware must be installed through NetSetter to be used with Performance. Older versions of firmware will remain compatible with previous versions of the software.
The indicators for firmware compatibility were improved in NetSetter to clearly reflect the installed, incompatible, and available versions of firmware.
Improvements were made to allow proper center alignment of systems in Design Mode.
When installing Performance 1.5, the installer will offer to remove previous versions of the application.

BUG FIXES

Fixed a bug where the center array of a System Group was not properly re-factored if the number of arrays was doubled.
Fixed a bug where the ASC, TDC, and EQ indicators in the Groups Panel would not change color to reflect the filter state accurately.

COMPATIBLE FIRMWARE
SRX900 – 1.6.17.55

VERSION 1.4.0

NEW FEATURES
Import from Venue Synthesis and LAC
JBL Performance can now import System Groups directly from Venue Synthesis and LAC files (LAC v3.9 or above). This new feature allows for the drag-and- drop import of System Groups and includes DSP, environmental data, and other parameters for compatible arrays.

Symmetry for Array Groups
The new symmetry control allows users to switch on or off array symmetry for System Groups.

Prevent Sleep for Mac and Windows
A new option in the System Settings for Mac and Windows users will keep the computer from sleeping when the application is running. This control is enabled by default.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS

Aligned text conventions with JBL Venue Synthesis.
SRX910LA arrays will now default to the “Array” preset if there are more than two boxes in the array.
Updated the default System Group quantity to be two.
Numerous control optimizations for touch and pen use.

BUG FIXES

Fixed a bug related to copying parameters when changing Array Symmetry off to on.
Fixed a rare issue for Windows PCs where pressing the space bar would change the selected view in the active mode.
Fixed an issue for Mac where minimizing the app and trying to quit would improperly display the quit dialog and disable the app.
Fixed an issue where [Cmd]/[Win]+A was not selecting all devices in the workspace.
Fixed and issue in Design Mode where pressing the delete key would remove speakers unexpectedly.
Improved stability of iOS when switching between Performance and other applications.
Fixed a bug where the center position of a distributed sub-array had internal orientation symmetry.
Fixed a bug where EQ symmetry was not applied to symmetric sub-positions.

COMPATIBLE FIRMWARE
SRX900 – 1.6.14.50

VERSION 1.3.1

NEW FEATURES

The Amplifier Health view now notifies users of momentary power losses that are long enough to cause interruptions in system operation. A detailed description can be found in the Amplifier Health section of the Help file.
Added a new back-end feature that enhances system group functionality and reliability. The new feature provides smarter logic when devices have mixed states within a group. A new ≠ icon will appear whenever something is out of sync within a group.
Added a Help file that can be accessed via Hamburger Menu to make using the application easier. The Help file is also available at www.jblpro.com

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS

Added an application-level setting to iOS that will prevent the iPad from automatically sleeping for customers who want to keep the iPad on all the time.
Improvements were made to allow international keyboards to take advantage of the keyboard shortcuts.
iPadOS stability was improved when switching in and out of the application.
When opening a saved venue file, if previously matched devices are discovered and have been modified since the venue file was connected, the devices will be automatically unmatched. The discovered devices can be re-matched or auto-matched and connected to bring them back into the open venue file.
The serial number for connected devices was added to the device panel.
Improved touch interactions in NetSetter for toggling and editing fields.
Several visual enhancements were made to NetSetter.
Applying a filter in NetSetter now clears selected rows to eliminate the possibility of adjusting hidden rows.
Further restrictions were placed on app functionality to reduce the risk of accidentally interrupting the firmware update.
Added a button to allow directly exiting NetSetter without applying any pending changes.
In the device panel, the EQ bypass now bypasses the EQ DSP instead of changing the individual filters to be bypassed.
Added basic analytics for the application to aid in troubleshooting and development.
Added a feature that will restrict an iPad from going to sleep during a firmware update.
Touch interactions were improved.
Renumbering HCIDs was improved to follow the selected order.
General UI and performance improvements were made.

BUG FIXES

Some keyboard shortcuts that used the alt key now require a shift modifier. A complete keyboard shortcut guide is in the Help file.
Fixed an issue where touching outside an EQ filter after selecting it would sometimes change the width of the filter.
Fixed an issue where NetSetter would stop scrolling up and down when the device list extended beyond the vertical list and the user scrolled in the non-pinned area.
Fixed an issue restricting the ability to increase the number of speakers in an array when the HCIDs were locked.
Fixed an issue where some horizontal scrollbars were not rendering correctly.
Fixed an issue where the center subwoofer array orientation would change after increasing the number of arrays.
Fixed an issue where the locating state of a device was not appropriately represented when the DHCP mode was changed.
Fixed a bug where the delay DSP in the device panel wasn’t saving with the venue file.

COMPATIBLE FIRMWARE
SRX900 – 1.6.12.42

VERSION 1.1.1

BUG FIXES
Added Compatability for iPadOS 16

TARGET FIRMWARE
SRX 900 – 1.6.8.29 – FW Changelog

VERSION 1.1.0

Initial Release for iPadOS
Notes on iPadOS

iPadOS has a different file system with different limitations than Mac or PC and therefore the main menu behaves differently to accommodate the functionality available in iPadOS.
The recent files list is simply called “Files” and lists all of the files in the application sandbox
The “Save As” functionality is similar to “Share”
The “Open” functionality is similar to “Open and Import” where Performance will copy the file into the application sandbox to be able to fully access it. If a file is opened from an external app, it will need to be copied into the Performance sandbox for Performance to fully access it.
