Release 1.8.7 of iStudio is available. This release features important

improvements, a.o. it adds support for the soon to come LC-42 and LC-47

displays and GUI configurable timing parameters for third party display

devices. Also a number of bugfixes are part of the new release.

Release note

iStudio – Release 1.8.7

Summary

TUDIO Release 1.8.7 comes with following innovations:

• Multiple SNMP Managers

• Timings configurable in the user interface

• Support for LC-42 and LC-47

• Detection of hardware changes in the H

YDRA

• Display of ETSI information and AFD information

• Configurable A/D reference and 0 level for audio bars

• Extended XML command set

Multiple SNMP managers

It is now possible to define multiple destinations for the alarms generated by iS

TUDIO. As

such, customers can receive the iS

TUDIO alarms in multiple network/alarm management

applications such as OpenView, Tivoli, etc. simultaneously.

Timings configurable in the UI

TUDIO 1.8.7 allows modifying the display timing parameters directly from the iSTUDIO

graphical user interface. Users can now adjust the H

YDRA output timings to match third party

displays in a much more user-friendly way.

Support for LC-42 and LC-47

With iS

TUDIO 1.8.7, the HYDRA can drive the LC-42 and LC-47 in full high-definition 1920x1080

resolution. Note that the graphical elements are only displayed in half resolution, but the

video can take full advantage of the high resolution offered by these displays.

For further details, have a look at the updated compatibility matrix on the Partnerzone and at

the iS

TUDIO user manual.

Detection of hardware changes in the Hydra

A feature that will be highly appreciated by our support engineers! When boards are removed

or new boards are added to the H

YDRA, the iSTUDIO software will detect these changes and let

you adapt the configuration files accordingly. This means that the source setup parameters

will not be messed up by hardware changes anymore!

Display ETSI information and AFD information

Wide-screen signaling according to the ETSI specification is now also supported.

Configurable A/D reference and 0 level for audio bars

It is now possible to set the offset when showing analog audio on digital scales in a more

flexible way. Any value between –1 dBfs and –24 dBfs in steps of 1 dBfs can be defined as

offset, compared to the previous –18/-20 dBfs choice.

Next to that, the 0 dBu reference of a scale can be set freely between 0 dB and 20 dB in

steps of 1 dB.

These features allow our customers to adjust the iS

TUDIO audio metering system to local

regulations or internal standards.

Extended XML command set

The XML API command set has been extended, allowing project engineering and integrators

to control iSTUDIO from external applications in a much more flexible and extensive way.

Availability

TUDIO 1.8.7 will ship with all new HYDRA systems from W47 onwards. For upgrades of

existing installations, contact the BCD Customer Support desk.
