Feature Enhancements for 882D Release 2.13.1 - vxWorks: 20.1885201

The following features are included in the Release 2.13.1.

  • A new lipsync test image with flashing white box has been added. The image is called LipSyncB. Please refer to Chapter 16 in the user guide for more information.
  • EDID-based offset is also incorporated into the firmware and can be utilized in conjunction with the LipSyncB image.

The following anomalies have been corrected in the Release 2.13.1.

  • Horizontal sync back porch (HSBP) and vertical sync back porch (VSBP) are now calculated correctly.
  • Pixel depth (PELD) can now be set by pressing Content -> Options.
  • ImageShifting an animated image such as Cubes will no longer hang the front panel and Ethernet connection.
  • Changing either the horizontal increment (XISH:HINC) or vertical increment (XISH:VINC) to 0 while ImageShifting will no longer hang the generator.
  • Sequence Player will show an asterisk next to ACS when the sync signal type (SSST) is 3 or 4. Previously, the asterisk didn't show up when SSST = 4.
  • Selecting an ImageShift file in Browse mode (e.g. /tffs0/Library/Library/ImageShifts/Shift2.xml) to start ImageShifting when the currently selected image is an animated image such as Cubes now works correctly.
  • Only 0 through 30 are valid GPIB addresses that you can configure via front panel.
  • ImageShifting in 1080i format works properly now.
  • "Image not Available" message now tells you what is wrong with the current settings that prevents the image from displaying properly. For example, when you select Pluge in HDMI-H interface, it will say "Must be using analog interface."
  • MaxGamut, MaxGamutTV, and NomGamutTV have been reworded to MaxRange, MaxRangeTV, and NomRangeTV respectively. This setting (DVQM) can be found by pressing Source -> Options -> Options in HDMI interface.
  • Virtual Display or Virtual Video Display has been renamed to Virtual Front Panel for consistency.
  • Switching from LipSync image to another image when the moving box is between the lines (when there is no audio) no longer mutes audio in the switched image.
  • PNG images are now rendered correctly.
  • Sink primary aspect ratio test in Test ID 8-17 will no longer be run if you are not running EDID Compliance Test against HDMI CTS 1.3b. It will only be run if you are running EDID Compliance Test against HDMI CTS 1.2a.
  • LEVP change in YPbPr no longer changes white color to green color in images such as Philips1.
  • Fixed some of HdcpProd image's compliance issues.
  • LipSyncB is now supported.
  • The default image is changed to GenStats.
Note: The release files can only be applied to the 882D generator (not the 882CA/882C/881C or 882EA/882E/881E generators).
