Furthermore, Riedel presented the next version of the RockNet control and configuration software: RockWork 1.6. RockWorks 1.6 provides the integration for the RockNet MADI module as well as for the RockNet MediorNet card that integrates RockNet into Riedel's fiber based solution for distribution and routing of HD video, audio, intercom and data signals. Additional changes in RockWorks 1.6 are performances enhancements. This update also includes all changes from RockWorks firmware version 1.4 such as single channel routing, levelmeters and Independent Gain for all RockNet inputs and outputs. To work properly all modules of an installation need to be updated to the same firmware version. RockWork 1.6 is available for download in the RockNet download section at www.riedel.net.
