What's in this update

Summary of the Updates to STORM 1200x

Optimizations

  • Fan Startup: Optimized startup speed and error detection timing. Fans now spin for 2 s​econds before entering PID adjustment, with a broadened low-speed detection threshold.
  • Fan Speed Process: Enhanced handling to address rare cases of fan error reporting.
  • DMX Connection Status: Improved BT connection logic for CRMX-TX state with DMX data, ensuring smoother status updates after DMX disconnection.
  • Increased Color Temp Range for DMX Control to 10,000K.
  • CRMX TX and RX switching has been improved.

Bug Fixes

  • Master-Slave mode moved to the Control Settings menu.
  • Batch Update moved to the Firmware Update interface.
  • DMX Status Bar: Replaced "White Light Standard" mode with "Studio Mode."
  • DMX Effects Execution: Fixed issue where High-Speed Shooting mode could be activated via buttons during DMX effects execution.
  • Profile Flicker Speed: Adjusted flicker speed of Pulse and Fault Bulb in DMX-controlled profiles, with a default Speed parameter of 5 added.
  • CCT Lighting Effects: Added a default GM parameter value of 10 for effects with CCT control.
  • ETH-to-DMX Conversion: Resolved data refresh error causing momentary light flicker.
  • CRMX Reset: Fixed an issue where CRMX could not reset after being turned off (added reset and delay).
  • ​DMX Power Output: Addressed issue where DMX control of output power did not align with actual power output.
  • DMX-Controlled Effects: Differentiated control behaviors for XY-FX and CCT-FX, with CCT adjustments disabled by default under XY-FX profiles.
  • High-Speed Shooting and PWM: Fixed issue where combining DMX fade-in/out effects with High-Speed Shooting mode caused PWM dimming to freeze the light.
  • GM Parameter Transmission: Resolved GM parameter range issues for app compatibility.
  • Silent Mode: Fixed issue where custom lighting effects appeared excessively dim.
  • Master-Slave Upgrades: Fixed issues with slave units not turning off or failing to revert to their original Light Mode after flickering during upgrade failures.
