This new Firmware Version LiOS 1.2.1 (Lighting Operating System) is replacing version LiOS 1.0.6. In this major release all known limitations of the previous firmware have been resolved. Further, previously missing features are being introduced.

The new features:
- Control option Streaming ACN (sACN) implemented.
- DMX/RDM Gateway function implemented. Any Orbiter can now act as a transformer from Ethernet based control protocols such as Art-Net and sACN towards Output of 5 Pin DMX for daisy chaining of multiple units. RDM Messages are being sent and received bi-directional as well. This eliminates the need for external or third-party devices for control protocol conversion.
- Support of various additional RDM PIDs added.
- Addition of various Art-Net Messages such as ArtIpProg and ArtSync
- Implementation of USB-C interface support for the Arri ALSM service tool, now also for Windows operating systems
- Various updates and enhancements of the graphical user interface across the entire LiOS system for a better and simplified user experience
- Various improvements for the integrated web page control option
- Overall system stability improvements

This new version is recommended for all users. Any shows, installs and applications programmed with the previous firmware will not be harmed or voided by this firmware update.

The firmware download folder contains the firmware itself, detailed release notes (including known limitations), as well as license information and a new version of the firmware update procedure document.

NOTE: Version 1.2.1 is only compatible with serial production units. Support of beta units has been omitted.
