   Update for the Storm 1000c Minor Issues This upda​te must be performed with a USB drive. The update over Sidus Link and Sidus Link Pro will be coming soon.

   Improvements

   • Improved text for fan mode DMX control, fan error messages, and high temperature warning screens to ensure all text displays correctly.
   • Improved temperature error reporting for both the control box MCU (EC.002) and COB temperature (EH.002), clearly distinguishing high temperature, short circuit, and open circuit conditions.
   • Updated fan control logic to improve stability and make fan-related errors general and ignorable during normal operation.
   • Improved indicator light behavior so ignoring all active errors restores the indicator light to its normal operating color.
   • Improved low-temperature detection accuracy, preventing incorrect error states during low-temperature operation.

   Bug Fixes

   • Fixed an issu​e where DMX VRGB color space output could behave abnormally.
   • Fixed an issue where low-temperature testing could cause red and green indicator lights to flash due to incorrect NTC open-circuit detection thresholds.
   • Fixed an issue where odd and even DMX profiles could produce different brightness output at the same values when using 16-bit DMX, ensuring consistent brightness behavior.
   • Fixed an issue where the fixture could flash unexpectedly when switching high-speed photography modes or dimming curves.
   • Fixed the Light Mode HSIC+ Hue value should be 359.9 > 0.0 degree.
