The following features are included in the Release 2.7.0.

• Added support for 20 and 24 bit audio.
• Added 720p30, 720p29, 720p25, 720p24, and 720p23 formats.

The following anomalies have been corrected in the Release 2.7.0.

• The Auxiliary Channel Analyzer now supports the 5 volt sense for monitoring the Hot Plug detect.
• The anomaly associated with the SamsungB image has been corrected. The sliding white box no longer disapears when you turn off the RGB outputs.
• The problems related to the command used to enable and disable Read EDID (TOGG) has been corrected.
• The problem related to test sequences has been resolved. A user can no longer escape out of the test sequence menu to change other selections. Therefore a user has to exit out of the test sequence to change formats and interfaces.
• The asterisk, indicating that an item is selected, now appears in all cases even after a power cycle.
• The vendor specific data block in the EDID has been updated to include new data for HDMI 1.3 deep color.
• The DCPG command now requires the DCPU command to activate it.
• The *RST command has been updated to include all new settings. This enables a user to reset all the settings to the factory default.
• The ringing and flickering problems on the CVBS output have been eliminated.
• The 882 now will remove the sync signal when changing interfaces.
• The horizontal and vertical sync pulse polarity is now set properly with HSPP and VSPP on the DVI output.
• The anomalies that were occurring on the TVBar images at high resolution formats have been removed.
• The anomalies that were occurring on the Master image (colors reversed) using format 480i2x29 YCbCr 4:2:2 with 8-bit depth have been corrected.
• The ACA would occasionally hang when trying to connect to an 882 a second time. This problem has been corrected.
• The problem of the 882 occasionally hanging when browsing the file system or scrolling through formats has been corrected.

The Release 2.7.0 is comprised of the following software components.

The following anomalies have been reported with Releases 2.5.x, 2.6.0 and 2.7.0.

• When AVST or DVST is changed through the command line, the generator's front panel doesn't reflect the change (i.e. the asterisk next to YYY/RGB/YPbPr doesn't get changed). This problem is prevalent on both analog or digital interface.
• Sync setting does not automatically switch to default setting for a particular format and interface. For example if you have selected the VGA interface and are using the DMT0660 format which has DSS sync (and DSS was in fact set) and then you selected 720p60, the sync type is not changing to ACS as it should be for 720p60.

You can upgrade your generator using the procedures in the Users Guide. Please note that you will have to verify that your current generator is operating with Release 2.3, 2.4, 2.5.x or 2.6.0. To verify that your current generator is operating with one of these releases, enter the following command:

verf?

Release 2.3 should return the following information:

20.1883000, 01.04.11

Release 2.4 should return the following information:

20.1883200, 01.04.11

Release 2.5.5 should return the following information:

20.1883405, 01.04.11

Release 2.6.0 should return the following information:

20.1883600, 01.04.11

After verifying that the generator is operating with either Release 2.3, 2.4, 2.5.x or 2.6.0 you can upgrade to Release 2.7.0 by completing the following high level steps which are detailed in the Users Guide:

1. Download the 2.7.0 Zip file to your PC and unzip the file.
2. Back up the existing System and Library directories from the generator's flash memory to your PC: Back up files.
3. Transfer the 2.7.0 System and Library directories to your generator's flash memory: Transfer files. Transfer the System directory first.
4. Configure the generator to boot from the generator's flash memory: Boot from flash
5. Power cycle the generator.
6. Verify that the generator is running the current 2.7.0 version of the vxWorks file by entering the following command:
   
   verf?
   20.1883800, 01.04.11



7. Verify that the vxWorks file is: 20.1883800.
8. Verify that the BootRom version is: 01.04.11.
9. Verify that the generator is running the current 2.7.0 version of the gateware files by entering the following command:
   
   verg?
   400C,4,6062006:400A,6,5042006:400B,10,1042007



10. The first listing is the CPLD gateware. The next two listings are the transmitter gateware files for the DVI and the HDMI output. The gatewares are separated by colons. Verify that the transmitter gateware files are: 400A,6,5042006:400B,10,1042007.
