VSIS-4.9 Release

New firmware and Application Software (May 2018)

VSIS is an intercom solution software product package. The package includes:

• Turbine firmware: Updated firmware for Turbine generation of intercom devices: TCIS-x, TKIS-2, TMIS-x, TFIE-x, TKIE-x, TFIX-x, TCIV-x, ECPIR-3P, ENA amplifiers and Exigo IP speakers.
• INCA firmware: Updated firmware for all INCA SoC based Intercom stations including devices: IP Desktop Master Station, IP Substation, IP Vandal Resistant Station and IP Dual Display Station.
• SDK for Pulse: Updated SDK for Pulse system.
• VS-IMT: Updated Intercom Management Tool PC application.
• VS-Client: Updated VS-Client

Major new features

• Multicast IP paging for SIP
  Turbine and INCA IP intercom stations and IP speakers now support IP multicast audio when configured in SIP mode. Up to 10 multicast IP addresses can be configured.
• Virtual I/O script execution based on input status change
  Now you can enable/disable functions like DAK key action (e.g., make a call) according to a state change on certain input. Use cases: disabling intercom for non-authorized personnel using a badge-reader or denying intercom calls without a vehicle in front of the station (detected by a loop into the floor).
• Advanced Turbine AVC settings on StationWeb
  We have exposed advanced AVC settings on Turbine StationWeb for AVC algorithm parametrization. These options should be used only in cases when the default AVC behavior needs to be fine-tuned and when the technician has a good understanding about the AVC technology.
• We have added support for SIP Early Media during 180-Ringing or 183-Session Progress
  Now there is support for playing media during SIP 180-Ringing or SIP 183 Call progress, instead of a locally generated ringing tone. This is a very common setup in iPBX systems where the server generates media to be played during session progress and before call is accepted (e.g., call queued before it is answered).
• We have made VS-IMT improvements
  VS-IMT will now display a warning when TCIV is set as a Pulse server, explaining the limitation and workaround. All DAK actions are now enabled for all Turbine stations, rather than being filtered by station type. We have also made many small bug-fixes and improvements.
• We have made improvements to VS-Client
  We have introduced improvements to how the VS-Client manages system resources under a high system resources load, which should prevent any possible audible interruptions. We also have improved how the VS-Client takes ownership of audio devices; it could happen that the VS-Client locks an audio device such as a USB headset microphone in exclusive ownership, which can cause issues for other applications; this is now improved within the audio engine.
