What's Fixed in D-Show 2.6.3?

• In some cases in which channels were Bank Safe’d just prior to powering down a D-Show Profile, Bank Safe status for those channels could be lost the next time the system was powered up.
  

• In D-Show 2.6, FX Return patching changes were not stored properly in snapshots. As a result, snapshots that included patching changes for FX Return Input, Direct and Hardware Insert assignments would not recall correctly.
  

• With D-Show 2.6 and higher, you may have experienced a false temperature warning when powering up your FOH Rack.
  

• On a D-Show Main with one or more attached sidecars, metering values for Bank Safe'd channels on sidecars did not always show the right signal if the strip was Bank Safe'd at startup. When moving between input fader banks, metering values for Bank Safe'd channels may have not stayed on the top layer with the rest of the safe'd channels' data.
  

• Loading a Show file created using D-Show 2.5.x or lower resulted in the Pad and 48V settings being offset by two channels when the Show file was converted to version 2.6. In addition, the input gain settings for channels patched to the FOH Rack or Pro Tools assignable I/O were also shifted by one channel upon conversion.
