COBRA Firmware Version 6.1.2 Release

The COBRA 6.1.2 release includes the following fixes. Note that this release requires an update to the .s19 file on the 18R2, 36M/72M and Audio Box.

Please also make sure to update your COBRA Control Panel from Google Play.

• 18R2 / Control Panel - Jump to re-enabled in Control Panel for timed and STEP events
• 18R2 / Control Panel - Elapsed time showing incorrectly when jumping is performed
• 18R2 / Control Panel - Changing firing mode now supported from Control Panel
• Audio Box - Audio skipping may occur if SMPTE is used with 18R2 together with the Audio Box
• Control Panel Gen 2 - The UI may display a 36M or 72M’s key state momentarily in the wrong position. This only affects the 36M and 72M modules.
• 18M Hardware B - When initiating a STEP command from the 18R2 from a scripted show, if a module does not receive the STEP command, it’s possible an event may fire late and eventually re-align once the heartbeat from the 18R2 is received.
