********************************************************* * This firmware is for the following products: * * -------------------------------------------- * * 7825CCE-3G * ********************************************************* version 1.8 build 1 (April 8, 2016) ---------------------------------------- Improvements to Compact Flash file system: - Now supports "Auto FTP Manager" FTP client. - Capture files with identical name will be over-written. - Zero-length files cannot be deleted by FTP client, because they are probably open for writing. - Added user control to select whether to append timestamp to filename. - Revised 4-character timestamp format: WXYZ W=month 1-9+A-C for Jan-Dec X=day 1-9+A-V for 1-31 Y=hour 0-9+A-N for 0-23 Z=min/5 0-9+A-B for 0-11 (x5 for actual minute) - SCC Capture wraps SCC file lines at 192 characters; F2 files saved with "SC2" extension instead of "FCC". - SCC Encode now allows simultaneous encode of one file into F1 and another into F2. Looks for F2 file with same name as F1 file, but extension "SC2" instead of "SCC". version 1.7 build 4 (August 19, 2015) ---------------------------------------- Accommodate some (Linux) telnet clients that demark line ends with CR+NULL instead of CR+LF, and send DEL (0x7F) instead of backspace (0x08). Added plain ASCII Text Output serial port mode and UDP streaming. Various improvements to +CF version, including Procap files containing multiple services, SCC file support added. New user control to add hysteresis when deasserting caption up/down shift New user-selectable error severity for some CDP errors. version 1.6 build 15 (April 16, 2014) ---------------------------------------- Added card-edge controls and OSD configuration menus. Made VLPro controls more user-friendly when setting time and using +CF option. Improvements to Compact Flash (+CF) caption data inserter and FTP interface. Reduced video processing delay so it is now comparable to HD9084. (Previously delayed video by 1 line.) Filter out bad data sent from some teleprompters. Improved input video standard detection. Improved PLL re-lock on input video switch. New user controls for added flexibility when configuring serial, modem and telnet ports. New feature: CC text delay and difference monitor version 1.4 build 12 (March 1, 2011) ---------------------------------------- - Added enhanced AFD processing features. AFD now inserted onto both fields for interlaced HD stds. Added SD VANC AFD encoding. - Added control to VLPro CDP Setup tab to force F1 and F2 order to be reversed in the CDP. Only applicable to 25, 29.97 and 30Hz rates. For special MPEG4 encoder applications. - Added SD VANC CDP encoding. Insert line is the same as for HD, where applicable. If this causes problems for any equipment, can be disabled by setting DIP4 = DOWN. - There are now 3 telnet caption ports (E,F,G) available. - Added new port mode "Link to Telnet Client". Added new port modes "Echo Port x" (x=E,F,G) to echo telnet ports. - Added new comm port and caption service monitoring variables, for added feedback to user through VLPro GUI. - Added ^AT command to control 608-to-708 translator via serial port. - Updated HD/3G OSD fonts to center narrow characters. version 1.3 build 1 (December 10, 2010) ---------------------------------------- - Added control to VLPro CDP Setup tab to force F1 and F2 order to be reversed in the CDP. Only applicable to 25, 29.97 and 30Hz rates. - Added SD VANC CDP encoding - Added enhanced AFD processing features - Added new port mode "Link to Telnet Client" - Added new port modes "Echo Port x" (x=E,F,G) to echo telnet ports - On modem or telnet disconnect, the unit pretends that it received ^C^F^F. - Added new comm port and caption service monitoring variables - Added ^AT command to control 608-to-708 translator via serial port version 1.2 build 9 (August 5, 2009) ---------------------------------------- Added OSD on "MON OUT A" output for caption decode monitoring. Added VANC cleanup functionality to remove unnecessary VANC packets. Show detected video standard in VLPro. Read CDPs from VANC when there are other VANC packets sharing the same line. Support ATC, VITC, NTP as available time sources. Added new VLPro controls under new "Time" tab. Added "+CF" product flavor with new VLPro controls under new "Compact Flash" tab. Version 1.0 build 13 (December 2, 2008) ---------------------------------------- - Initial release. JAR version 38 required for VistaLINK functionality - When a port (A,B,C) is configured for RS422, it is also required that a DIP switch (1,2,3 respectively) is moved to the DOWN/CLOSED position as well. Known Issues: - VANC scrubber overwrites SD vanc area with black - Video B may not lock on power-up when standard is set to other than AUTO - AFD VANC data only inserted into field 1 for 1080i/59.94 - GPO Stimulus Input A 608 F1 & Input A 608 F2 not implemented. - GPO Stimulus Input A & Input B VANC CDP not implemented. - Captions not fully implemented on 3G video. - GPI shift causes issues on CC2, CC4. - CEA-708 test message does not run when upstream video source is SD-SDI.
