Release Notes
Recommendations
We advise before installing updates across your entire network to install the updates on a single device to ensure it does not effect your playlists, layouts or channels. All our releases have been comprehensively tested across all devices but however occupationally unforeseen issues may occur. It is for this reason that the best practice is to test the update before rolling it out across your network.
If you have any specific questions about the update or require help installing the files, please contact our support team.
