Important

• When upgrading Designer versions, the installer may prompt that the destination folder is not empty; please change the folder name or delete the existing folder and it will automatically be re-created during the upgrade.
• In order to push from virtual devices to online devices, or vice versa, the virtual device and online version must be of running  the same version. For example, all new virtual MXA910s  devices created in Designer 4.1.1 are on version 4.1.X; those virtual devices can only be associated with online devices that are also on version 4.1.xX.
• Designer 4.1.1 is not backwards compatible with Designer 3.2. The database will not be maintained upon downgrading, and Designer 4.1 files cannot be imported into version 3.2.

Improvements

• Resolved a discovery issue when IntelliMix(r) Room is integrated with certain third-party peripheral devices
• Resolved an issue where Designer would not successfully open with certain native languages set as the operating system language

Known Issues

• When using Windows 7, no more than five windows can be open simultaneously.
• With more than 20 devices in location or 60 on the network, some actions will take longer due to increased network traffic.
• When deleting a virtual device, Designer will warn that encryption and password settings will be changed; however, the discovered devices’ encryption and password settings will not be affected.
• When importing a Designer preset file into the MXA910 web application, attempts to immediately export that file out of the web application will fail if it is not first loaded and saved to the MXA910.
• Pull and push operation may cause sync status to say “not synced”,” although the operation was successful; close and reopen the location to fix this
• When soloing a channel on an MXA310, all channels will show as gated on
• When configuring a single MXA910, rotation of the device will only appear in Location > Coverage Map; go to the location to view the rotated device
• If experiencing issues changing the channel count of an IntelliMix Room instance within Designer Software, deactivate the IntelliMix Room instance first, then change the channel count and re-activate
• When using Shure Networked Audio Encryption for IntelliMix Room, you'll see a "key error" for channels without established Dante audio routes. This does not affect device performance and can be ignored.
• When one or more devices in a location are locked by Dante Domain Manager or Dante Device Lock, operations that affect Dante settings may be unreliable, such as audio routing, pushing virtual to online devices, or enabling audio encryption
• When using the P300’s Matrix Mixer on its Schematic tab, vertical scrolling won’t work correctly; navigate to the Matrix Mixer tab to see all channels.
• Unsupported firmware may show an indication that the device is locked by Dante Domain Manager or Dante Device Lock. See the minimum supported firmware versions below.

Notes

• Internet access is required during the installation process
• Designer User Guide
• Designer 4.1.1 is compatible with the following software and firmware versions:
  • IMX-Room version 1.0.4.2
  • MXA910 4.1.41X
  • MXA310 4.1.37X
  • P300 4.1.11X
  • ANIUSB-MATRIX 4.1.39X

• 32-Bit Windows:
  • To update Shure Update Utility version 2.2.2 or earlier on a 32-bit Windows system, download version 2.4.2 or greater for 32-bit systems to re-install the software. Older versions of Shure Update Utility will not detect new updates of Shure Update Utility that support 32-bit systems.
  • Shure Update Utility version 2.4.5 for 32-bit systems is compatible with Wireless Workbench 6 version 6.12.1 and earlier.
• Attempts to download ULXD6/8 transmitter firmware to a ULX-D or QLX-D receiver that is not at the minimum firmware version, shown below, will fail. To update firmware for ULXD6/8 transmitters with ULX-D or QLX-D receivers:
  • Update receivers to the following minimum versions:
    • ULXD4, ULXD4D, ULXD4Q Receivers 2.1.16
    • QLXD4 Receivers 2.1.5
  • Using Shure Update Utility, download ULXD6/8 transmitter firmware to the receivers.
  • Using the FW Update menu on a receiver, update transmitters.
• Microflex Wireless devices running version 1.X firmware must first be updated to version 2.0.5 before being updated to version 3.X or later.
• USB-C MacBook Pro laptops with the Touch Bar running macOS High Sierra, Mojave, and Catalina will fail to discover GLX-D devices. We are currently investigating this issue.

NOTES

• Shure Update Utility is supported on the following operating systems:
  • Windows 7, 8 and 10
  • macOS High Sierra (10.13), Mojave (10.14), and Catalina (10.15)

• USB 2.0 Devices
  • KSE1500, SHA900, and GLX-D must be updated one-at-a-time.
  • USB hubs are not recommended when updating USB 2.0 connected devices. Always connect these devices directly to a USB on the computer running Shure Update Utility.
• Shure Update Utility 2.4.2 or greater for 64-bit systems is compatible with Wireless Workbench 6.12.2 or later.
• Shure Update Utility 2.4.2 or greater for 32-bit systems is compatible with Wireless Workbench 6.12 or earlier.

• Fixed an issue in the Frequency Band Conversion Tool where devices previously set to “do not convert” were not able to be converted in one scenario.

Notes

• When using the in-app update function, in order to successfully install Wireless Workbench, you must run it as an administrator. Consult your IT department if you have questions.
• Opening show files created with older versions of Wireless Workbench may result in the Settings Conflicts dialog opening once the file has loaded. This is due to newly supported hardware parameters that have been introduced with updated firmware versions. To maintain all settings from the show file, select "Keep all settings from: Wireless Workbench."
• Alerts logged when devices first come online may list device parameters and their values as they are being discovered even though the parameter values themselves have not changed.

Known Issues

• When using multiple spectrum managers, if they have the same device ID, any combo box where you specify a link between receiver and spectrum managers will not list all available spectrum managers. To resolve this, provide a unique device ID for all spectrum managers.
• ULX-D receivers running firmware version 2.0.28 or earlier may trigger a Settings Conflict when rediscovered after updating their firmware to version 2.1 or later. There is no issue with the device—there was simply a new property added in version 2.1. To dismiss the alert, resolve the Settings Conflict by selecting the properties you wish to keep.
• Timeline System Events displayed for Active Transmitter Online for ULXD6/8 transmitters do not always include Transmitter Device ID in the event description.
• SLX and ULX frequencies in Master List mode cannot be manually entered in the Coordination Workspace. They can, however, be coordinated and analyzed.
