QuVIS Soft Release (QSR) Overview
QuVIS periodically publishes software updates, called a QuVIS Soft Release (QSR), which may update
the target QuVIS product with new features, enhancements or bug fixes. There are three types of
software releases: Major, Point and Flash. Licensing for a Major software release may need to be
purchased before the software update may be installed. Optional hardware upgrades may also be
required in order to gain access to all of the new features introduced in the new release.
Major Soft Release
This type of soft or software release will include new features and/or functionality. An updated Software
License is required before the new release may be installed. QuVIS products currently enrolled in
QuCare are automatically eligible for free major software release upgrades and license.
A hardware upgrade(s) may be necessary to gain access to some of the new features. Those features
that are hardware dependent will not be fully accessible until an appropriate hardware upgrade has
been completed. Other features or functionality not dependent upon new hardware will continue to work
as expected.
Point Soft Release
A Point QSR release is a maintenance update to the current software release version and will provide
bug fixes and occasionally minor new features or enhancements. A point release is notated by a third
value in the version number (QSR 3.1.x).
Flash Soft Release
A Flash release is an update to the embedded system software that controls the startup and loading of
the operating system (OS) of the QuVIS Encore.
IMPORTANT!
QuVIS Soft Releases (QSR’s) are specific to QuVIS video server models. For instance, a
QuVIS Acuity software release may not be loaded on a QuVIS Encore video server.
