"This release includes added functionality, new features, improved reliability and enhanced performance," says Brad Schiller, HES director of control systems development.
Version 2.2.2 contains the following new features: cuelist effect rate control, options for using cue time and/or macros when going backward, improved fixture selection tools and Chinese language help. Several other features and many bug fixes are also included within this release.
Version 2.2.2 marks an important milestone, says HES. Over the last three years, significant portions of the software have been rewritten to improve the system's reliability and performance. Now that most of that work is complete, a focus on new features and innovations has begun.
"We are pleased to be turning the corner and implementing more user requests and features with each release," says Robbie Bruce, HES director of software development. "Version 2.2.2 demonstrates our commitment to keep improving the Wholehog software not only in performance, but also in terms of feature set."
High End Systems is developing a detailed Mark Cues functionality, clock and calendar triggering as well as many other user requests planned for a release later this year. Beta testing will begin soon. Additional new hardware will debut early next year in addition to more new features such as Art-Net support, keystroke macros and additional networking abilities.
