Space CE v2.20.0

Official Space CE Software Release Date: 05 June 2026

Features and Enhancements

Camera Modes

Cameras can now be configured with named modes such as Presentation, Whiteboard, or Tracking. Operators can switch between modes from the touch panel, and a default mode can be recalled automatically on room startup.

In-Room Surveys

Configurable in-room surveys are now available on the touch panel. Each survey defines what it asks about (for example, User Sentiment), the response options shown to users, and a wait time before the next response can be submitted (default 60 minutes). The wait time clears automatically when the room is powered on, so each session starts fresh. Multiple surveys can be configured per room.

Network Switch Control

Space CE now supports network switches. Individual switch ports can be turned on, turned off, or restarted from a macro, allowing networked equipment to be power-cycled automatically as part of a room’s logic.

Shared Pods Follow Source Changes

When a pod is shared to other displays, such as a lecturer display or other pods, changing the source on the pod now automatically updates what those other displays show. Previously, if a pod was switched to a different source after sharing had started, the other displays would continue showing the original source.

Multi-Area Lighting Presets and Toggles

Lighting presets and toggles can now control multiple areas independently on the same controller. Each preset or toggle holds its own area and fade time, so configurations where one controller serves several areas now apply the correct settings to each. Supported across the Philips Dynalite and Clipsal C-Bus drivers.

Lighting Preset Control via DSP

In rooms without a dedicated lighting controller, Space CE can now recall lighting presets through the room’s DSP instead. This allows preset-based lighting control to be offered in spaces where lighting is wired through the DSP’s preset capability (for example, a Q-Sys ECP trigger) rather than through a separate lighting controller.

Timer Controls Improvements

Following the introduction of Timer Controls in 2.19.0, this release improves how timers stay in sync with the device. Stopwatches no longer drift over repeated pause and resume cycles, and the state shown on the touch panel matches the device after every action. Timers can now also be controlled from macros, so they can be started, paused, reset, extended, or reduced as part of automated room logic.

Video Sync Detection via Q-Sys Named Controls

Q-Sys named controls can now be used to monitor whether a source is connected or in sync, and that signal can drive source routing in Space CE.

Drivers

Driver Updates & Enrichments

Philips Dynalite and Clipsal C-Bus Lighting (TCP, ComPort Over TCP)

Updated to support the new multi-area preset and toggle behaviour, so presets and toggles on these controllers can address different areas with their own settings.

Crestron Visca Camera (TCP)

Added more precise pan and zoom controls and support for auto-tracking on IV cameras.

Xilica Solaro DSP (TCP)

Added password authentication support, so the driver can now connect to Solaro DSPs that have authentication enabled.

Extron IN1806 Matrix (TCP)

Extended response handling to cover audio and audio/video inputs, and made the driver more resilient to inconsistent responses returned by the device during input polling.

APC Power Distribution Unit (SSH, TCP)

Resolved an issue where the device’s model, serial number, and firmware fields contained stray whitespace and hidden characters when displayed in the portal.

Bolin Camera (HTTP)

Resolved an issue where the driver could not complete login with the camera, preventing it from being controlled.

MasterClock NTD Clock (UDP)

Resolved an issue where the clock always showed as not communicating in Innomesh Portal, even when it was successfully connected.

Vitec IPTV (HTTPS)

Corrected the handling of numeric remote-key presses so that channel-by-number selections are processed in the correct order.

Visca Camera (UDP)

The driver no longer gathers the Model field from the device. The Visca protocol is generic across vendors and does not provide a meaningful model identifier, so the field is left blank.

New Driver Additions

• LG LCD (ComPort Over TCP)
• Netgear Network Switch (HTTPS)
• Netgear Network Switch (SSH)
• QSC Q-Sys QRC Video Matrix (TCP)

Bug Fixes

• Macros sharing the same event or time trigger now run all of their actions. Previously, only the first matching macro executed and the others were silently dropped.
• On the touch panel, the on/off indicator of a lighting toggle is no longer wrongly flipped when another toggle that shares the same preset number is operated. This can happen in multi-area rooms where the same preset number is used across different areas.
• The active lighting preset is now correctly highlighted on the touch panel after a recall or reset, across all preset types.
• Lighting rooms configured with stepped presets only now correctly update the highlighted preset when fader values change.
• In linked rooms, recalling a lighting channel preset on the primary room now correctly applies to the linked secondary room. Previously this could fail with an error.
• In linked rooms, fader level changes on a digital input/output device are now applied to the correct target in the primary room.
• The “Auto Share To Pods” toggle now stays in sync when a touch panel reconnects to Space CE.
• When a room mode defines a list of available AV sources, the touch panel now only shows those sources. This means back-end-only sources (for example a UC engine used for automatic routing) can be hidden per mode. Modes with no list defined continue to show every source.
• When a pod stops sharing, or is powered off, the lecturer display now stops showing that pod and any follower pods stop mirroring it. Previously the lecturer display and follower pods could stay stuck on the stopped pod. Because the lecturer is no longer sharing, pods muted under “mute pods audio when the lecturer is sharing” also return to their normal audio state.
