About Hardware Service v6

Hardware Service v6 is the Windows service that connects Broadcast Radio hardware devices, such as studio hardware and AEQ devices, to the Myriad broadcast software.

What's new in 6.6.25276

v6.6.1 3rd October 2025
New Features/Changes:
- Receive From AEQ Device: An option has been added to specify the IP address on which a Receive From AEQ Device listens on. Previously it would attempt to bind to all network adapters on the computer, but this could sometimes fail depending on the network adapters in the computer. There is no ability to edit this in the Hardware Configuration Editor, it is a settings file change only. Contact Broadcast Radio Technical Support if you are using an Receive From AEQ Device that is not receiving line state changes.
- Virtual Network Device: The sending to the configured connections and listeners (TCP, UDP, COM port) has been parallelised to decrease latency.
The following issues have been fixed:
- Hardware Configuration: Send To AEQ Device configuration UI had no ability to enter the device's IP address.
- Hardware Monitor: Manually turning off a line with the checkbox sometimes failed to apply the change and send it to the server.
- Virtual Network Device: The TCP Connect feature was not connecting to the configured endpoint.
