Harman Professional's System Architect 2.1 upgrade, made available recently to HiQnet users worldwide, allows System Architect to automate many of the more time consuming system design tasks based on the application's understanding of how a user constructs a system. System Architect 2.1 has been upgraded to allow greater compatibility between HiQnet devices from Harman Professional's brands, including Crown, JBL, dbx, AKG and BSS Audio.
New with version 2.1 is the support of the new Crown PIP-USP4/CN Card and control of the AKG DMS 700 digital wireless system via the HUB 4000 Q. Frequency coordination of DMS 700 wireless systems can be performed with 1 Click Setup from AKG's plugin. ‘1-Click Setup' calculates discrete, inter-modulation-free frequencies for the entire wireless system on the fly with a single click.
The upgrade means that System Architect takes multiple like-devices within rack and arrays and automatically groups these into master panels. These are then made accessible from icons associated with the relevant racks or arrays directly in the Venue. Additionally, user-defined panels can also be assigned to racks, arrays and areas, putting access to control exactly where it makes sense and where it should be.
Additional features added to System Architect 2.1 include the ability to readdress devices directly in the venue, both online and offline; the ability to reorder devices in racks and arrays by address and a new region indicator control for use in advanced Custom Panel design. The user interface was upgraded to include a file load progress bar, and also provides enhancements to the intelligent Network Troubleshooter to assist with solving network complications.
