Features

Kiosk2Go

Controls support skinning

You can now enhance the appearance of knobs, faders, meters and LEDs by adding graphics to them.

For more information, see Options in the NWare Device Reference. Scroll down to Enable Decoration.

Dialog boxes

You can now display dialog boxes in the browser. These can be opened by tapping a button, and closed using a close button (x) in the corner. They can display help for individual controls.

For more information, see Options in the NWare Device Reference. Scroll down to Popup Dialog.

Linking Kiosk2Go devices together

You can create a link between two Kiosk2Go devices, so that when the user taps a button on a page in one device, the first page from the second device is displayed.

For more information, see Options in the NWare Device Reference. Scroll down to Jump to K2G Device.

Note: The Kiosk2Go user must have access to both devices for this feature to work.

Enhancements

NWare

SVG image format now supported

The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format is now supported for project images. Image files can be imported using the Media tab.

Shortcuts start Kiosk2Go full screen

When you create a shortcut to a Kiosk2Go page in a browser, then open the shortcut, Kiosk2Go is opened full screen.

For more information, see Creating a shortcut to start Kiosk2Go full screen in the NWare User Guide.

Media tab display improved

The Media tab now displays information about imported audio files, including the sampling rate. The display of files is now sorted into ascending alphabetical order, based on the file name.

Kiosk2Go

Smoother control movement

The movement of controls in the browser is now smoother. For example, as the values represented by a meter change, the meter bar moves gradually, rather than in larger steps.

Internet Explorer 10

 

 

Issue 466. Slave controls can be gestured. Normally, this is not possible in Kiosk. As a workaround, clear the Control Accepts User Input check box on the control properties of the slave control.

All operating systems and browsers

NWare

266 - Foreign language characters are corrupted by NWare

When you type characters with diacritics, such as š and ý, into a string control, they are corrupted when the project is emulated or deployed.

412 - Global preset does not enforce system mute on restart of NioNode

If you add a Global Preset device to your project, select the System Mute option on the NioNode control surface, and then save the default global preset, when the NioNode is restarted, the system mute is not applied, even though it was saved in the preset.

648 - Role resets if you specify COM ports 3 or 4 for a Comms Processor device

If you deploy a project containing a Comms Processor device to a Nionode, and then try to use the ports COM3 or COM4, the role will restart.

Bug fixes

NWare

706 - You could not delete control aliases that had been assigned automatically in a single operation

Once control aliases had been assigned automatically by NWare, there was no way to remove them from controls in a single operation. You had to edit the control properties manually for each control. For more information on the new feature that makes it easer to remove aliases, see Removing automatically assigned control aliases in the External Control User Guide.

738 - Basic subchannel mapping on the CAB 8n device did not work

If you attempted to make an audio connection to a CAB 8n using bundle numbers specified on the CAB 8n tab of the device, the device did not work correctly. Only connections made using the Advanced Subchannel Mapping option on the device properties worked.

NION

717 - The CPU activity increased regularly

If you monitored the CPU activity for a NION when running a project, it was seen to increase regularly. The period was affected by the Control Frame Rate setting in NWare. This problem occasionally caused the NION to become unresponsive, and XDAB communication failures to occur.

This issue has been fixed in this version. However, we recommend that you only specify a control frame rate that is a factor of 100 (5, 10, 20, 25 or 50).

To specify the Control Frame Rate, click Project Properties on the File menu, and type in the Control frame rate, updates per sec box.

CAB 8n

739 - Communications to the CAB 8n were lost randomly

From time to time, a CAB 8n that was working correctly became unavailable on the network. The LEDs on the front panel were lit in a vertical line that moved from left to right, indicating that no MediaMatrix device was controlling the CAB.

This issue has now been fixed. It requires firmware version 0.8 to be installed on the CAB 8n. Contact MediaMatrix Technical Support for more information.

740 - Serial port did not work correctly in half duplex (RS-485) mode

When two CAB 8ns were configured to create a serial bridge using RS-485, a network storm was created, where data was transmitted constantly across the CobraNet network.

This issue has now been fixed, but it requires that you upgrade the CobraNet firmware used by the network interfaces on the CAB 8ns to version 2.11.14 CS496112. This is in addition to upgrading the NION to firmware version 1.7.1. Contact MediaMatrix Technical Support for more information.
