SB00xx: V6.2.0.274 Mirroring Update for Vi200/400/600/2000/3000/5000 & Vi7000 now available
###########################################################################################


Soundcraft is pleased to announce the release of a software update for all Vi x00 and x000 Series consoles.

The update contains the major new feature "Mirroring" which allows two consoles or control surfaces to be connected in parallel for either redundancy or remote control applications, plus some important bug fixes and stability improvements and we recommend that it is installed into all Vi x00 and x000 consoles as soon as possible.

New features
============
•  Mirroring feature implemented, allowing two consoles to be connected via the HiQnet ethernet ports and to work in parallel. 
New Mirroring Setup page implemented in Menu/System/Network page.
   Master/slave mode and selectable functions to be mirrored can be accessed here. A metering source local/remote) allows the surface meters to respond either to the local or the remote console's audio core, depending on whether the application is two redundant consoles or one surface without audio controlling another one with audio (remote control or surface expander application).
   ViSi Remote iPad control can also be used in parallel with Mirroring.

•  Virtual Vi can now be used as an On-line controller in parallel with the console (including those with internal DSP), by using the Mirroring function and treating the tablet or laptop as a second console.

•  Ability to assign input channels to the Control Bay faders is added (already present on Vi2000), giving more flexibility on control layout and access to simultaneous faders.


Bug Fixes
========= 

•  Stagebox status indication not always visible in Menu-System-Stagebox page
•  Stereo busses sometimes lost audio on one side when a show made on older sw/different bus config     wasloaded
•  Junk channel settings sometimes displayed if Preview mode exited during a crossfade
•  Various anomalies with the Encoder Mode Setup functionality fixed
•  Problem with inserts and FX not being isolated fixed
•  Problem with inserts and FX not being updated in snapshots in 'Apply Changes mode' fixed
•  Upgrade to ShureACN_rev 167100 lib (ShureWirelessMic Version "1.0.0.23" Build 23)
•  Presence of Insert on Ch24 could crash console on show load
