- Upgrade Procedure
- Compressed Audio Test Samples, Sine Wave Audio Clips, Sample BMPs, and USB COM Port .inf File
This load corrects the following issues:
- Fixes Application/FPGA update screen.
- Fixes IRE label on analog.
This load provides the following new or improved features:
- Video Display selection in Source Tests menu allows user to see incoming video on the touch screen display.
- Adds AV Receiver example EDID in EDID test menu.
- Adds Hot Plug Formats option to allow user to disable automatic format switching based on EIDD default format for DVI and HDMI.
- Adds support for loading 32-bit bitmap image files.
- HDMI audio selection now forces video selection to HDMI to allow audio output.
- Audio menu redesigned for more intuitive operation.
- Faster compressed audio sample loading.
This load corrects the following issues:
- Fixes YCbCr color space conversion settings for deep color.
- Fixes tri-level sync on analog video.
- Fixes audio setting restore issues.
- Fixes audio setting issues when changing audio interfaces.
This load provides the following new features:
- Adds 480p to cable test results to test low bandwidth HDMI.
- Adds DIDT? command to perform EDID test on command line.
This load corrects the following issues:
- Fixes potential issue with flash filesystem leading to an unusable unit.
- Warns users not to use compressed audio and bitmaps simultaneously.
- Fixes issue with AVI InfoFrames on boot.
This load corrects the following issues:
- Some corrections to video timing.
- The 780 cannot simultaneously play compressed audio and display a bitmap image (such as Master and Zone Plate).
This load corrects the following issues:
- Improvements to PCM Sine Wave Options menu.
This load corrects the following issues:
- Fixed YPbPr Black Level.
- Fixed Analog 720P50, 720P60 sync.
- Partial update of audio menu layout.
This load corrects the following issues:
- Fixed Color Space issue.
- Fixed Black Pluge functionality.
This load corrects the following issues:
- Fixed HDMI Rx EDID issue.
- Fixed Test Sample loading issue.
This load provides the following new feature:
- Added 23.976Hz timings for 720p/1080p TV formats
This load corrects the following issues:
- Fixed naming of a couple of images (Decoder Check and Decoder Adjust).
- Fixed default settings of some video outputs during first use.
- Improved method of how HDMI Rx is enabled for more reliable performance.
- Clarified the message that shows up on units with no Cable Test option.
- Fixed SIRE command for the Raster and Flat color images.
- Improved menu behavior in Audio Test Samples menu.
This load provides the following new features:
- Enhanced Cable Test functionality. Cable Test nows tests 1080p at 12 bits per component, 1080p at 8 bits, 720p at 8 bits, +5v, HPD, and DDC lines.
- USB Storage Flash Erase functionality. You can now erase the internal flash memory if it becomes corrupted. Erasing the internal flash memory will allow you to format the 780's removable disk.
- Compressed audio test samples. Under Audio Pattern, a new menu has been added that allows you to test compressed audio test samples such as pink noise, impulse, polarity, etc. You will need to download the test samples audio clips from here and copy them to the 780.
This load corrects the following issues:
- In HDMI, if the color space is changed from RGB to YCbCr 4:2:2, the Bit Depth buttons are removed from the display. Leaving the color space set to 4:2:2, if you change the Signal Type to RGB Analog and then back to HDMI, the Bit Depth buttons appear. With this load, the Bit Depth buttons do not appear anymore. 780 YCbCr 4:2:2's Bit Depth is 12 bits and cannot be changed.
- In Audio Pattern's Sine Wave Options, the +/- 3db buttons change the output by 6db. With this load, the buttons change the output by 3db.
Upgrade Procedure
