Will it Freeze?

With a Polar Vortex covering most of North America, we went down under to freeze a new RTI U3 remote in a block of ice. How do you think it performed? Watch the video to find out!

Driver Updates

Barco Pulse Projectors Version 1.31

Individual boolean variables were added for different aspect ratio. This lets you test them in a macro. AT this level of projector, every change in color space, HDR support, aspect ratio, etc, triggers events that have to change settings in the projector. We had aspect ration before, but no Booleans.

Aprilaire WiFi Thermostats Version 1.06

Cleans up the APEX auto-programming information so that commands, variables, and events get assigned to the correct device. There is no need to upgrade this driver if there’s already a successful installation. This update doesn’t change any functionality in the driver, it just makes the auto-programming work correctly.
