• Snoop tallies are displayed on keypanel X if there is another keypanel Y which is listening to X via a point-to-point or a special list, but which is not talking to X.
• Snoop tallies are suppressed if keypanel X has any talk keys turned on, or if X does not have a hot mic enabled.
• Requires the following minimum firmware versions:
  • Master Controller V9.24.0
  • DBX V1.15.0 with Peripheral Controller V10.15.0

Support for Do Not Interrupt keypanel configuration option

• A new keypanel configuration option called Do Not Interrupt, when enabled, allows only one keypanel at a time to call keypanel for which this option is enabled.
• If a second keypanel tries to call, the call does not go through (the called panel gets neither audio nor a tally), and the caller gets a busy tally.
• To prevent a call from being interrupted, the caller must leave the talk key latched for the duration of the call (otherwise another caller could sneak in).
• Do Not Interrupt does not work across trunking; trunking calls always go through
• Requires the following minimum firmware versions:
  • Master Controller V9.24.0
  • DBX V1.15.0 with Peripheral Controller V10.15.0

Other Features:

• Improved Ethernet support, including connections to the Master Controller IIe (and auto active/standby switch-over on transfer of control)
• Support for clearing Trunk Port status for ports when Trunk Master is disconnected
• Allow Paste Special to multiple ports even in ONLINE mode
• Display message on successful completion of firmware download, and auto-dismiss download dialog
• Show absolute key numbers on keypanel view to allow correlation with key number references in UPL statements
• Show both port number and alpha in several places (and allow sorting by either) where only one or the other was previously shown.
• Show panel information on port alpha and keypanel version context menus
• Support for auto show/hide of key assignment grid on appropriate views
• Removed support for Lookup Alphas and IFB Tone Override Input (deprecated features)
• Other enhancements, see the HISTORY.HTM file for details

Bug Fixes:

• AZedit could GPF on Keypanel View if no key highlighted and Key Restrict or Latch Disable hotkey pressed
• Fixed two small (unlikely to occur) memory leaks
• Other smaller problems fixed, see the HISTORY.HTM file for details

AZedit V2.07.02

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed font calculation and resizing on the key assignment grid which was broken by fixing the resource leak in V2.07.01.
• Fixed processing of NAK response on memory request which was changed in V2.07.00  (NAK is OK if device is not present).
• Don't send assignment group definition if no additions or deletions were made.

AZedit V2.07.01

Bug Fixes:

• If left ONLINE on an Alpha screen, AZedit would slowly leak resources over a period of several days, ultimately causing either a GPF or a general slowdown of the CPU.
• When changing ports on the Crosspoint Status, Port Volume, or PL Volume screens, sometimes the Port description would not be updated for the new port.
• AZedit would not allow firmware files for download to be loaded from a CD-ROM drive.
• AZedit could incorrectly display the percentage of RAM/FLASH used when resizing for very large systems.

AZedit V2.07.00

Support for IFB Special Lists

• AZedit now supports IFB Special Lists.  An IFB Special List is just like a standard Special List except that the members are IFBs instead of Ports (and IFB Special Lists do not have Relays associated with them, as do standard Special Lists).  In addition to an IFB membership list, an IFB Special List has an alpha, an alias, a description, and scroll restriction flags.  It can be assigned to a keypanel key via AZedit, or via scrolling (locally and remotely).  Talking to an IFB Special List is the equivalent to calling of its IFB members individually (IFB priorities still apply).  Listening to an IFB Special List has no effect.  IFB SL key assignments do not tally.
• Requires the following minimum firmware versions:
  • Master Controller V9.22.0
  • DBX V1.13.0 with Peripheral Controller V10.13.0
  • TM-2000 V8.5.1 (for remote access to IFB SLs).

Support for Assignment Groups

• AZedit now supports Assignment Groups.  An Assignment Group is a list of arbitrary key assignments (both local and remote) of any function type that can be created in AZedit and which are then available in a single scroll list to any keypanel.  You can use Assignment Groups to logically combine related key assignments into a single scroll list.  For instance, you might combine the ports, PLs, and IFBs associated with a particular studio into one Assignment Group (scroll list) that then be called up by a keypanel.  An Assignment Group has an alpha, a description, and a local scroll restriction flag.  Assignment Groups are not available to remote intercoms, although an Assignment Group can contain remote key assignments.  Assignment Groups can contain key assignments that are themselves scroll restricted.
• At the keypanel, pressing PGM/SEL in an idle state (CWW is empty) brings up a list of Assignment Groups (sorted by alpha).  You can scroll through the list of available Assignment Groups and then press PGM/SEL again to select a specific group.  The keypanel will then display a list of the key assignments contained in the selected Assignment Group (or N/A if the group is empty).  You can then scroll through the members of the group and talk to them by pressing the CWW key, or copy them to another key using the standard copy-key sequence.  You cannot copy a key assignment if it is scroll restricted (even though it appears in the Assignment Group).
• Requires the following minimum firmware versions:
  • Master Controller V9.22.0
  • DBX V1.13.0 with Peripheral Controller V10.13.0
  • KP-32 V2.0.1
  • KP-96 V8.9

Support for Panel Party Line special functions

• AZedit now supports 2 new key assignments: PPL (Panel Party Line) and PPLI (PPL Inhibit).  These can only be programmed on talk keys.
• Suppose panel A has point-to-point crosspoints closed from ports B, C, and D (via talk keys on B/C/D and/or listen keys on A), and has P-P crosspoints closed to ports C, D, and E. Suppose A turns on a talk key with a PPL assignment on it. The intercom then builds a dynamic party line, in which all ports talking to A are the talkers, and all ports listening to A are listeners. So in this example, B would talk to C, D, and E; C would talk to D and E; D would talk to C and E. (The diagonal crosspoints are never closed.)
• Normally, PPL crosspoints are released when a talk key with a PPL assignment is released. However, if a panel has more than one key with a PPL assignment on it, the PPL crosspoints are recomputed whenever a talk key with a PPL assignment is closed or released; the PPL is destroyed when the panel no longer has any talk key closed with the PPL assignment on it.
• PPLI processing is similar to PPL, with the following enhancement:  In addition to closing the crosspoints as indicated above, the system also inhibits all crosspoints from any port not involved in the PPL to any port involved in the PPL. Hence, in the above example, the crosspoints from any other port F would be inhibited to all the ports A through E.
• Requires the following firmware versions:
  • Master Controller V9.21.0 (ADAM-CS only)

Show and Hide List Columns

• AZedit now supports easier control of the appearance of list-type displays.  In this version and in previous versions you could adjust the size of a column by dragging the column divider (shrinking the width to zero if desired), auto-size the column by double-clicking the column divider, or re-arrange the column order by dragging a column header to a new position.  Once a column was shrunk to zero width, it was difficult to make the column visible again.  Now, if you right click a column header, you are presented with a context menu allowing you to Hide the selected column, and a sub-menu showing all the currently hidden columns that you can select to Show again.  The Show/Hide status of every column is stored in the registry and is maintained between launches of the application.

Optimizations for Multiple AZedit Sessions

• Several optimizations have been made in order to improve communications when using multiple AZedit sessions on the same intercom.  When multiple AZedit sessions are connected to the same intercom, there is often a degradation in communications reliability (especially in DBX systems) because the UARTs on the existing Master Controller do not have large enough FIFOs to allow the MC to service them all in a timely manner.  This results in an increase in timeouts, checksum errors, and NAKs, which cause messages to be re-sent, and can even cause an AZedit session to disconnect (and re-connect automatically).
• Much of the time, the serial traffic from AZedit is simply for refreshing the current display.  Cutting down on these refreshes reduces serial traffic and improves the communications reliability on other serial sessions.  This version of AZedit automatically stops refreshing the screen when the application is minimized.  It is recommended practice for users of AZedit (on a system with multiple AZedit sessions) to minimize their session when it is not in use.  This feature may be disabled by setting the following registery entry:
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Telex\AZedit\Users\Default\general\PauseOnMinimize = N
• This version also allows the user to manually pause the automatic refresh by pressing the PAUSE key.  Refresh is resumed by clicking OK on the "Pause" dialog.
• An optional optimization allows AZedit to stop refreshes whenever the application is not the foreground application.  This optimization must be manually enabled by setting the following registry entry:
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Telex\AZedit\Users\Default\general\PauseOnLostFocus = Y
• Another optional optimization allows AZedit to stop refreshes whenever the application detects mouse and keyboard inactivity for a given period of time.  This optimization must also be manually enabled by setting the following registry entries:
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Telex\AZedit\Users\Default\general\PauseOnInactivity = Y
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Telex\AZedit\Users\Default\general\InactivityThreshold = 2 (minutes)
• Note that saving a setup file, sending changes or a setup file, and downloading firmware are not interrupted by any of the refresh pause mechanisms.
• Other optimizations to serial communications include increasing the number of times a failed message is retried, and breaking large messages into several smaller messages.

Bug Fixes:

• AZedit could GPF when trying to set key states
• AZedit could GPF when trying to invert PL/SL memberships via the context menu
• AZedit restrictions and intercom capability checking were not fully implemented for some features
• With Input Alphas enabled, the keypanel view did not show Input Alphas on listen keys for the KP-32 in template mode
• Various cosmetic display issues addressed
• Other smaller problems fixed, see the HISTORY.HTM file for details

AZedit V2.06.07

Support for downloading a license file to Cronus Intercoms

• AZedit can now download a license file to Cronus Intercoms in order to enable hotlinks (to provide multi-frame functionality). The Options | Download License command will only appear when connected online to a Cronus intercom (version 0.1.0 or later) that doesn't already have a license enabling hotlinks.
• Invoking the Options | Download License command will bring up a standard file open dialog allowing the user to select the license file to be downloaded. The license file must be supplied by Telex. When a file is selected, it will then be downloaded to the intercom, and a message box will appear to indicate either that the download was accepted, or the reason why it wasn't. Note: It may take roughly 5 seconds for this message to appear in the case of a successful download to a Cronus intercom (due to the time needed by Cronus to verify the digital signature). After a successful download, this command will no longer be available, since the Cronus intercom will now have hotlinks enabled.

Support for browsing for Ethernet capable intercoms to which AZedit can connect

• On the Options | Communications dialog, when configuring AZedit to talk to an intercom via Ethernet, you can either enter the IP address of the intercom directly, or you can press the browse button to display a list of detected intercoms from which to select.  This works in the same manner as Trunk Edit for detecting Ethernet aware Trunk Masters.

Improved support for RVON-8, RVON-1 and VKPs

• The Port Status and Port Version screens now allow you to view the current firmware version of connected RVON-1 and VKPs as well as download new firmware to RVON-1 cards.  A checkbox on the Port Version screen allows you to toggle between displaying the actual keypanel firmware version and the RVON-1 firmware version.
• The connection status displays for RVON-8 cards now suppress (invalid) codec information if the channel is not connected.
• Downloading multiple RVON-8 or RVON-1 cards simultaneously could cause you to be unable to exit the download dialog in some circumstances.  This has been corrected.

Support for LCPs and PAPs connected to slave frames of a DBX system

• It is now possible to connect LCPs and PAPs to Peripheral Controllers installed into the slave frames of DBX systems.  Each frame can now support up to 15 LCP and PAP devices on J3 (at 76.8kbps) and an additional 5 devices on J4 (at 9600kbps).
• Requires the following firmware versions:
  • DBX V1.12.0 with Peripheral Controller V10.12.0 (in all frames)
  • PAP-32 V0.0.2 (required for 9600bps operation)

Support for separate options for reducing TIF, Trunk and PL tallies

• On the Options page of the Options | Intercom Configuration dialog, a single checkbox labeled "Don't generate tallies for TIF or Trunk use", has been replaced by three separate checkboxes; "Don't generate tallies for in-use trunk assignments"; "Don't generate tallies for off-hook TIF assignments"; and "Don't generate indefinite PL tallies".
• Requires the following firmware versions:
  • DBX V1.12.0 with Peripheral Controller V10.12.0
  • MC V9.20.1

Support for Chinese versions of AZedit

• AZedit will now load and use Traditional or Simplified Chinese resources from a satellite DLL file if present.  A satellite resource DLL allows the AZedit user interface (menus, dialogs, views, etc.) to appear in another language.  This support is implemented in the same way as the Japanese version of AZedit.

AZedit V2.06.06

Support for Ethernet connections to Cronus Intercoms

• AZedit can now connect to Cronus Intercoms over Ethernet.  The Options | Communications dialog has been expanded to allow a network connection option and the entry of the IP address of the desired intercom.  When connected to a Cronus intercom via serial or USB connections, the Options | Ethernet Setup dialog allows modifying the IP parameters of the attached intercom.

Bundling of Cronus USB driver with AZedit installation

• The Cronus USB driver files are now bundled with the AZedit installation, and are copied to the USB directory below the AZedit installation directory.  When a Cronus intercom is first connected to your computer via USB, the New Hardware Wizard will launch.  Choose the option to manually select the driver directory and point it to the C:\Telex\AZedit\V20606\USB (or equivalent) directory.  The USB drivers will be installed from there and AZedit will then be able to connect to the Cronus intercom by changing the connection option to USB on the Options | Communications dialog.
  • USB support requires AZedit to be run under Windows 2000/XP

Bug Fixes

• AZedit could hang if forced to re-transmit a message containing an embedded end-of-message token
• AZedit could GPF when trying to set key states for a panel not supporting that operation if the warning preference was enabled
• Other smaller bug fixes, see the HISTORY.HTM file for more information

AZedit V2.06.05

Support for Kanji Intercoms and Keypanels

• Supports 8 character UNICODE alphas and descriptions.
• Supports keypanel templates for new keypanels capable of displaying Kanji alphas.
• Requires a UNICODE build of AZedit with the Japanese feature set.
• Requires intercoms with support for Kanji:
  • AIO V10.3.0 and
  • MC V9.20.0 or
  • DBX V1.11.0 with PC V10.11.0

Improved support for RVON-8 cards

• Read-only display of card configuration for Trunk Ports or if changes via AZedit are disabled via DIP switch 1.
• Highlighting of negotiated coding profile settings that differ from the card configuration on the Connection status page.
• Improved firmware download process no longer continues to show Abort button after download is complete.
• More frequent refresh of card type and RVON configuration information.
• Only show RVON context menus when an actual RVON card is selected.

USB Connection support for Cronus intercoms

• USB connection to Cronus intercoms can be selected from the Communications dialog.
• Requires Cronus USB driver to be installed.

Keypanel templates for a variety of new PAM panels

• A number of new PAM (Production Audio Monitoring) panels now have keypanel templates in AZedit.

AZedit V2.06.04

Support for RVON-8 cards

• The RVON-8 cards can be configured, and the channel status for each card can be viewed via AZedit.  New firmware can also be downloaded to RVON-8 cards via AZedit.  In order to view the connection status and/or download firmware, the computer running AZedit must be connected to the same Ethernet network as the RVON-8 card (or must be able to reach the RVON-8 card via a gateway).  AZedit contacts the RVON-8 cards directly over Ethernet for status and download, rather than via a serial connection with the Master Controller, in order to improve response time and performance.
  
  Requires:
  • MC V9.19.0 or
  • DBX V1.10.0 with PC V10.10.0

Support for Cronus intercoms

• The Status, Version, and Intercom configuration screens have been modified to support the Cronus intercom if connected.  A new screen for Crosspoint Controller status is available when connected to a Cronus intercom.

Displays card type on I/O Status screen

• The I/O Status screen now displays the type of card in each slot if the card is capable of reporting this information to the intercom.  The current versions of AES-3 and RVON-8 cards support this ability.  The AIO-8 card will report its type starting at V10.3.0 (not yet released).  The card type information is used to prevent the user from accidentally downloading the wrong firmware image to one or more selected cards.  It is also used to identify RVON-8 cards so that they can be configured and have their status viewed.
  
  Requires:
  • MC V9.19.0 or
  • DBX V1.10.0 with PC V10.10.0

AZedit V2.06.02

Fixes for drag and drop keypanel assignment operations

• Shift/Alt drag operations now move an entire key position (Talk, Listen, Latch Disable, Key Restrict) and shift other assignments left or right.  Hold down the Control key to perform a copy rather than a move when doing the insert operation.

AZedit V2.06.01

Support for "Leave Listen Active" (Japanese versions only)

• "Leave Listen Active" is a per setup page option that will, when enabled, leave listen keys on when a setup page is changed.  The flags for each setup page are accessed from the keypanel screen, when you select the "Edit" button to view the Setup tab of the Keypanel / Port Configuration dialog.
  
  Requires:
  • MC V9.18.0 (J5), or
  • DBX V1.9.0 (J5) with PC V10.9.0 (J5)

Support for "Enhanced Special Lists" (Japanese versions only)

• Enhanced special lists behave in a similar manner to Groups, except that they can be used across trunking, and they do not collapse into private point to point conversations when an enhanced special list call is answered.  Enhanced Special Lists also require unique membership, in that no port can be a member of more than one SL.
  
  Requires:
  • MC V9.18.0 (J5), or
  • DBX V1.9.0 (J5) with PC V10.9.0 (J5)

AZedit V2.06.00

Support for separate input and output alphas

• In earlier versions, a port had a single alpha representing both the audio input, and audio output portions of the port. For keypanels, where both the input and output refer to the same device, this made sense. However, in other applications, the input and output paths of the port would often be used for different purposes (eg. IFB program inputs or listen sources on the input side, and an IFB output on the output side). 

  In this version, it is now possible to give separate alphas to both the input and output portions of a port (by default, the input alpha tracks the output alpha unless you explicitly change the input alpha, so that normally they are the same which would be typical for ports with keypanels attached).

  Input alphas are enabled from the Intercom Configuration dialog which will cause the intercom to re-configure itself and perform a first birthday (although it will remember the system size).  AZedit automatically displays the correct input or output alpha depending on the context (i.e. IFB program input lists contain input alphas, and IFB output lists contain output alphas). In situations where either could apply (such as on the Party Line membership view), a context menu allows switching between input and output port alphas as necessary.

  When trying to enter key assignments with input alphas enabled, you must type input alphas in listen key assignments, and output alphas in talk key assignments (remember that for most ports the input and output alphas will be exactly the same).  Alternatively, you can use the key assignment context menu item "Change Assignment" to be provided with a list of the appropriate type.  You can also use the key assignment grid to drag any assignment onto a talk or listen key.

  Requires:

  • MC V9.17.0, or
  • DBX V1.9.0 with PC V10.9.0, or
  • ZEUS V3.2.0

AZedit V2.05.02

Printing of designation strips for ZEUS family keypanels

• When printing designation strips for keypanels, different dimensions for the strip height and/or centre-centre key spacing are used for the MKP-4, MKP-12, BKP-4, WKP-4, and TKP-4.  In addition, when a panel contains fewer than 16 keys, only the actual number of keys are printed.  Calculations for how many panels to print per page were also modified to take into account the new measurements and to reflect the number of hardware panels possible.

Updated help file

• New 32-bit help file includes help for more items and fixes problems with previous 16-bit help file.

AZedit V2.05.00

UPL Control of IFB Program Input

• UPL Control of IFB Program Input allows a user to set the output action of a UPL statement to change the program input of an IFB while the UPL is triggered. Requires Adam Master Controller version 9.16.3 or DBX version 1.8.2.

Local Storing Of Advanced Communications Parameters

• A new preference allows the storing of advanced communications parameters locally, so when a first birthday occurs, connecting to the intercom with AZedit will automatically restore the advanced communications settings.

Internationalization Options

Starting with V4.0.0, AZedit is always built as a UNICODE application.

Version from V2.06.05 to V3.9.0 of AZedit were available in either ASCII or UNICODE builds.

ASCII versions provide an English user interface.  UNICODE versions are capable of providing a user interface in nearly any language.  The user interface for the UNICODE version is currently available in English and Japanese, with both Traditional and Simplified Chinese versions in development.  ASCII and UNICODE versions are both still available with either the Standard or Extended (Japanese) feature set.

The UNICODE versions use resource DLL's which provide the user interface text in various languages.  AZedit automatically picks the appropriate language DLL to match the system locale selected by the user (in Control Panel, Regional and Language Settings).  If the required language DLL is not present, AZedit defaults to the English language resources that are compiled into the application executable.  An enhanced "About AZedit" dialog displays information regarding the AZedit build and resource DLL settings.

To support user interface languages other than English, a new resource DLL must be created for each language.

UNICODE versions of AZedit starting with V3.0.4 are compatible with restrictions files created with any version of the AZedit Restrictions Editor; however to create Restrictions Files that allow you to view AZedit menu item text in the language of the current system locale, use the UNICODE version of Restrictions Editor V2.0.4.
