New Features in Version 7.4

OS-Level Notifications for Alerts: An enhancement to the Hardware Alerts and Interference Events features that allow users to receive notifications through their operating systems while Wireless Workbench is minimized.

• For Mac users, Wireless Workbench alerts and events will be displayed with an OS-level notification on the top right and will be viewable in the Notification Center.
• For Windows users, Wireless Workbench alerts and events will be displayed with an OS-level notification on the bottom right in the system tray and will be viewable in the Action Center.

Inventory Management

• Automatic discovery of networked Shure devices
• Profiles for select third-party wireless devices included
• Label, organize, and configure device parameters
• Configure multiple wireless devices at once with batch edits
• Presets enable users to save sets of parameters to a file and quickly apply them to one or more selected devices.

Frequency Coordination

• Continuously scan from networked Shure scanning hardware
• Frequency plot provides detailed visibility of usable spectrum
• Use Coordination Workspace to analyze, calculate and deploy frequencies to inventory based on scan data
• Prioritize and allocate spectrum for channels with Inclusion Groups
• Assign compatible frequencies to networked Shure wireless devices
• Scan peaks can be managed and classified with greater flexibility and extended equipment profiles.
• Intermod spacings can be ignored for groups of frequencies during frequency coordination.
• Coordination order customization can be performed ad-hoc in the Coordination Workspace.

Live Monitoring

• Real-time audio, RF, and battery metering per channel
• Channel strip designer allows for customization of viewable settings
• Configure and store multiple channel strip arrangements
• Configurable interference and hardware alerts
• Timeline is a new logging utility designed to capture important channel status information over time, such as RF level, audio level, interference detection, ShowLink® Signal Strength, and more. This feature records data for extended durations with efficient file storage, enabling users to accurately archive and review the performance of their wireless systems.

Enterprise Networking

• Remote Device Connection enables users to connect Wireless Workbench to devices across subnets.
• Access Control enables devices to be protected from unauthorized changes via Shure software.
