Harman Pro Group has rolled out HiQnet System Architect version 1.6, which includes several new import and export features that the company says can make it easier for integrators and consultants to design and implement presets for discrete venues and systems. In addition, version 1.6 now includes a new AKG plug-in for offline configuration of AKG WMS 4000 systems, a new graphics engine for a more responsive user interface and master control panels are now configurable at device channel level providing greater detail of system control.
“The stringent task we set ourselves of releasing a feature-rich update to System Architect every four months is still going strong,” said Rick Kreifeldt, vice president of Harman Pro system development and integration group, in a statement.
The free upgrade includes Partial Venue File Export, the ability to save the settings of a user-determined selection of devices and associated Custom Control Panels within an open Venue file to disk. If the user already has an existing system configuration that includes a rack of amplifiers, a line array configuration, or a zone of devices, for example, it can now be repurposed for additional system designs.
Also new to version 1.6 is Venue File Import, the ability to import a complete existing Venue File into the open configuration, including all the device configurations and Custom Control Panels it contains. Company officials said the two new features combine to enable effective sharing of existing data both from system design to system design, and also for building libraries of sub-systems for contracting firms to share among staff.
