After last November’s “minor” update, Pixelhue announces new firmware upgrades for the P10, P20 and Q8, as well as new features for the PixelFlow software. Let’s take a look at the many innovative features of the V1.2.0 release.
While the V1.1.1 release had fixed the few bugs concerning Pixelhue’s P10, P20 and Q8 range of presentation switchers, just two months later, the manufacturer (part of the NovaStar group) is back with the new V1.2.0. This again addresses the same products but adds considerable potential to them, as well as fixing a few remaining bugs.
So, let’s have a detailed look at what the update involves.
