Software & Firmware Archives

New Features

• Transmitter "Mute Mode"
  • A mode that changes the functionality of transmitter power switch from "power on/off" to "mute on/off". This feature is enabled/disabled through the transmitter menu, within the UTILITIES section of the menu structure. This functionality as also been added to the IR PRESETS list.
  • Transmitters will communicate via the side channel when/if Mute Mode has been engaged (displayed in Wireless Workbench) and when/if the transmitter has been muted (displayed in Wireless Workbench and the receiver).

Improvements

• Added support for the X51 frequency band for use in Korea
• Minor UI text changes for consistency across wireless lines and in Wireless Workbench.

Notes

• After updating a ULX-D transmitter from any firmware version to 1.3.6, the transmitter will factory reset itself automatically.
• For operation of ULX-D devices with other Shure networked systems, see the following list of minimum firmware versions that are supported with ULX-D version 1.3.6:
  • ULXD1/2 ULXD Transmitters 1.3.6
  • ULXD4, ULXD4D, ULXD4Q ULX-D Receivers 1.3.6
  • AXT400 Axient Receiver 1.10.2
  • Wireless Workbench 6 Beta version 6.6.1

New Features

• Receiver Mute
  • Previously, receiver channels could be muted from Wireless Workbench amd not on device. Mute on/off capability has been added to the device within the AUDIO menu. Receiver mute for a channel can also be disengaged via a two-button combination push of the up/down gain arrows of that channel.
  • When "Rx Mute" has been engaged, the ability to adjust system gain is disabled. Receiver channels must be unmuted in order to adjust system gain.
  • Muting of a receiver channel is non-persistent (i.e. all channels with "Rx Mute" engaged will no longer be muted after the device is power-cycled).
• Device Gateway Address
  • ULX-D receiver's gateway address can now be set to allow for cross-subnet control and monitoring of the receiver with 3rd party control surfaces.
  • NOTE: Wireless Workbench does not function across different subnets. This feature is for 3rd party control surfaces only.
• Hardware Identification in Wireless Workbench
  • Enables the user to trigger a flashing sequence from the physical device to locate the Wireless Workbench representation of that device in the software.

Improvements

• Added support for the X51 frequency band for use in Korea
• Minor UI text changes for consistency across wireless lines and in Wireless Workbench.

Known Issues

• To ensure proper functionality of the device, users must perform a factory reset of ULX-D receivers if any of the following scenarios describe the receiver:
  • The receiver will be updated from 1.0.7 to 1.2.14
  • The receiver will be updated from 1.0.7 to 1.3.6
  • The receiver will be updated from 1.0.7 to 1.2.14 to 1.3.6 - ONLY if no factory reset was performed after updating to 1.2.14

Notes

• For operation of ULX-D devices with other Shure networked systems, see the following list of minimum firmware versions that are supported with ULX-D version 1.3.6:
  • ULXD1/2 ULXD Transmitters 1.3.6
  • ULXD4, ULXD4D, ULXD4Q ULX-D Receivers 1.3.6
  • AXT400 Axient Receiver 1.10.2
  • Wireless Workbench 6 Beta version 6.6.1

Important

• ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers running firmware prior to 1.4.8 must be updated to 1.4.8 before updating to newer versions.
• ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers running firmware between 1.4.8 and 2.0.28 must be updated to 2.0.28 before updating to newer versions.
• After 2.0.28 is installed, ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers can be updated to the latest available firmware version.
• ULX-D devices that are downgrading to 1.5.6 may report a false failure.
  • Workaround: Because this is a false failure, closing the send updates window and going to the main page, Shure Update Utility will show green for the firmware version.

New Features

• Addition of Dante Device ID modes
  • ID Mode: Sequential - Quick sequential numbering of ULX-D receivers to take advantage of quick device set-up and labeling for Dante digital audio network.
  • ID Mode: Yamaha - specific labeling of ULX-D receiver's Dante Device ID for discovery as "online devices" by Yamaha CL Series consoles with firmware version 1.60 or later.
• Receiver Mute
  • Previously, receiver channels could be muted from Wireless Workbench amd not on device. Mute on/off capability has been added to the device within the AUDIO menu. Receiver mute for a channel can also be disengaged via a two-button combination push of the up/down gain arrows of that channel.
