******************************************************** * This firmware is for the following products: * * -------------------------------------------- * * 520AD4-DD-HD * ******************************************************** Version 1.7 build 162 fpga 600 (May 17, 2006) ---------------------------------------------------- - When UTIL/DPCL=1FRM (decoder path latency of 1 frame): the decoded audio and its PCM substitutes (see UTIL/DDLS control) should be free of noise transients. Specifically, any broken Dolby packets are filtered out of the decoder outputs. Substitute PCM audio path (DMUX or AESB) are also protected and undergo 1 frame of delay. There is no protection when UTIL/DPCL=min (which is default). - Video delay feature corrected for PAL-B and 720P50 - When META/VADL=1, Metadata de-embedder will look for the packets with specified DID and sDID (controls META/VAEI, META/VAES) in all lines. - When META/VAKL=kill, the selected packets will be marked for deletion on the specified line, or on all lines if META/VADL=1. No other packets will be affected. - When META/VAEN=enbl, all pre-existing packets with the same specified DID and sDID (controls META/VAEI, META/VAES) on all lines, will be marked for deletion, before embedding of the new data. No other packets will be affected. - CUV bits delayed with audio data - Corrected unnecessary error status for Meta data generated with OEM Dolby Decoder modules fed with certain Dolby E streams. - Further reduction in occurance of noisy decoder outputs after an asynchronous switch. More tolerance to asynchronous Dolby inputs. - You can quick-browse through MONI/dB status items. Version 1.6 build 011 fpga 484 (Nov 10, 2005) ---------------------------------------------------- - Reduced occasional issue with the Dolby Decoder module going into "motorboat" mode after an asynchronous switch - Embedder has a fix for HD ACP overwrite and spacing issue - Audio demux is tolerant of 1/2 group SD embedding scheme used by some older Sony boxes, at least 1 version of Sci.Atl., and the original Evertz 7720AE. - Audio Demux should tolerate asynchronous embedding better (the only artifact should be single sample drop/repeats) - Fixed misdirected voice-over - Fixed blanking contents of META dmx and mux when in SD; it used to blank the line to Y=0x040 and Cr=Cb=0x040. Version 1.5 build 2 fpga 453 (July 19, 2005) --------------------------------------------------------- - audio SD dmx should handle embedding distributions that are not "5 frame exact". Also, expanded tolerance of long periods without embedded packets, especially in vertical areas, in order to work with older embedders. - metadata packets use "Syntax 1" (previous s/w produced "Syntax 0"). The new metadata de-embedder deals with both types automatically. - Support for 720p50 - channel order in SD packets made normal (1,2,3,4) instead of previous (1,3,2,4). It used to cause problems for some de-embedders. - new UTIL/DWMX control for Dolby downmix channel ("DDM" channel) - input metadata is parsed for checksum errors; status or LED will blink if failing Version 1.4 build 3 fpga 391 (June 07, 2005) ---------------------------------------------------------- - corrected VistaLink support Version 1.3 build 236 fpga 365 (January 27, 2005) ----------------------------------------------------------------- ** requires reset command if upgraded from 1.1 or 1.0 ** - corrected embedded HD CUZ bits (still fixed msg) - added SD 525 video delay - added audio delay - added full audio monophonic router/switch - added voice-over mixer - partially tested VistaLink support Version 1.2 build 20 (November 1, 2004) ------------------------------------------------------ ** Must perform a factory reset after upgrading to this version of firmware ** - Can handle both h/w build 1 or 2 - added HD mux/dmx/delay and SD mux/dmx - VANC embedder has a limit of 60 for repeat packets - Added controls: EAUD/GLOK(embedded audio group lock) UTIL/2CHA(stereo vs. Mono channel controls) UTIL/SRC(to enable external AES input SRC) Version 1.0 build 50 (July 29, 2004) ---------------------------------------------- - first release
