Updates:

  • Significantly improved Parlé ceiling microphone audio quality with Biamp Launch on TesiraFORTÉ X when selecting the Microsoft Teams and Zoom UC profiles. Launch must be re-run after a firmware update.
  • Increased Tesira RMS and Peak Audio Meters hold delay to 10 seconds, up from the original 1 second.
  • Changed the Tesira document mode default to both Tesira Servers and TesiraFORTÉ and will no longer prompt by default.

Project Designer 1.35.4
Brings Important New Updates
The newest release of Project Designer – 1.35.4 – has been optimized to run more efficiently and adds important new features.

A new “Open Apprimo Settings” capability allows designers to add a button in the interface to open the same touch panel settings previously only accessible by using the reset tool to depress a recessed switch. Now these settings are just a tap away on Apprimo Touch 4, 7 and 10 touch panels and Apprimo Touch 8i control panels.

Version 1.35.4 also adds support for SSH communication between the Impera Tango and Uniform controllers and Apprimo Touch 8i control panels, and the devices they control.

Version 1.35.4 also brings more reliable and faster-than-ever control of Tesira systems. Tesira blocks that support subscriptions, such as Level Control blocks, gain instantaneous feedback between the Tesira system and Impera control.

In addition, this update includes hundreds of new drivers across the most commonly used devices from the largest manufacturers. Device Editor software for simple creating and editing custom device drivers has also been updated for improved performance.

Always use the latest versions of Project Designer and Device Editor to get the best operation and functionality from your Impera and Apprimo systems.
