The following features are included in the Release 2.4.0.
Note: The release files can only be applied to the 882C(A)
or 881C generator (not the 882D generators).
The Release 2.4.0 is comprised of the following software components.

Note: 882C(A) units with CPLD gateware 253C,36,1272005 do not 1) support monitoring of the DDC Tx ports with the Auxiliary Channel Analyzer which was part of Release 2.3.0; 2) correct the HDCP authentication transient failures describe below as part of this release. Contact Customer Support for information on how to upgrade these units.
The following anomalies have been corrected as part of this release.
- HDCP authentication failures. Occasionally the HDCP authentication would fail intermittently when connected to a display. These intermittent failures were attributed to "bumps" in the DDC channel. These bumps have been eliminated in this firmware release but also require an upgrade to CPLD version 256C,41,5312006. Contact Customer Support for information on how to upgrade these units.
- SDI/HD-SDI jitter. The jitter exhibited on the SDI/HD-SDI output has been corrected with the firmware in this release and a new CPLD version. Therefore to provide the proper SDI/HD-SDI output an upgrade to CPLD version 255C,41,5312006 is required along with a revised video board. Contact Customer Support for information on how to upgrade these units.
- EDID HDMI compliance tests showed different results related to the basic audio parameter. The results of the on-screen EDID HDMI compliance image and the results reported in the HTML report are now consistent with respect to basic audio.
- Cable test inconsistencies. The cable test results showed inconsistent results especially near the upper end of the supported pixel range of 150MHz.
- Pseudo random noise test anomolies. Intermittent failures "No Sequence Found" while running the Analyzer Pseudo Random Noise test have been resolved.
- Bit timings for CEC channel monitoring on the Auxiliary Channel Analyzer incorrect. The ACA monitored CEC channel now shows the correct bit times in the details section. Previously the bit timings shown were off by a factor of 10 (too high).
- Multiple commands on single line was not supported on the CMD terminal utility available through the 882 web server. The CMD terminal utility now enables you to issue multiple commands on a single line such as: FMTL DMT0660; ALLU.
- Hot plug (ReadEDID) performance. The speed to resync of formats with a connected display when ReadEDID is enabled has been improved.
- HDMI audio anomolies. The following internal HDMI audio anomolies have been corrected:
- Excessive noise on audio signal. The audio noise present when I2S is used as the internal audio with higher sampling rates has been corrected when you invoke the sampling rate through the command line with ARAT 192e03; ALLU. Note that the noise is still present when invoking higher sampling rates using the AudioRat image.
- Audio channel assignments with AudioRat image. When sampling rates above 48kHz were invoked the generator no longer changes the number of active channels from 2 to 8.
- The Audio_X image no longer improperly sets the amplitude of the internal audio to -12db.
- Audio parameters queried from the command line now match the values shown on the audio related images.
The Signal Analysis Module is a Java-based GUI application available through the 882CA embedded web server. It enables you to measure timings from a connected source and automatically compares the measured values with a standard timing in the 882CA's default format list.

A test image has been added to test lipsync. This image has several subimages that enable you to vary the interval of a video event and an associated audio event.

A command was added to allow configuring the generator to bypass the hot plug not detected error. The command usage is:
HPBG 0 // to disable hot plug bypass
HPBG 1 // to enable hot plut bypass
The 882 embedded web server home page has been rearranged so that all the utilities are available on the home page.
