Feature Enhancements for 882D Release 2.9.0 - vxWorks: 20.1884400


Known Issue #1: Do not enter SDMG 2; FMTU without connecting external audio to the SPDIF-IN connector first. The video output will keep refreshing itself because of a hot plug detect issue. This will be fixed in a future release.

Known Issue #2: RampDif shows green bars on the bottom ramp in YCbCr 10-bit mode. This will be fixed in a future release.

Known Issue #3: RampDif in 10-bit mode does not show correct number of bits on the bottom ramp. This will be fixed in a future release.

If you need a beta firmware that fixes the issues above, please e-mail Moon Ki Cho at mcho@quantumdata.com.

There are no new features for the 882D included in the Release 2.9.0.

The following anomalies have been corrected in the Release 2.9.0.

  • Fixed the problem where our Hot Plug Detect misses some 100ms pulses.
  • Fixed the problem where DCS sync does not come out on VGA interface properly.
  • Fixed the problem where the HDMI 1.3a EDID Compliance Test's Test ID 8-2 shows a WARNING when the monitor name terminating byte does not equal 0x0A. A FAIL should be shown instead.
  • HDMI 1.3a EDID Compliance Test's Test ID 8-3 report's wording has changed to reflect CEA-861-D properly.
  • When a YCbCr bitmap is loaded, gamma correction is turned off automatically in order to show the bitmap correctly.
  • Fixed the problem where 576p50 format is using ITU-709 instead of ITU-609.
  • Fixed the problem where the Format Editor doesn't change PELD (pixel depth) values correctly.

Note: The release files can only be applied to the 882D generator (not the 882CA/882C/881C or 882E/881E generators).
