Feature Enhancements for 882EA Release 2.15.0 - vxWorks: 20.1885600

The following features have been added in the Release 2.15.0.

• Added Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD audio support. (Important: See installation notes below.)
• Added xvYCC capability
• Added Munsell images
• Added combined CEC, HDCP, and EDID test images called AuxTest1 (for HDMI output 1) and AuxTest2 (for HDMI output 2).
• Gateware files can now be read from PCMCIA/CF card when booting
• HDCP Compliance Test results now wrtten to HTML file after each test is finished
• Added delta timing in ACA.

The following anomalies have been corrected in the Release 2.15.0

• DDC resets no longer cause reads to take too long.
• *RST now resets to appropriate interface.
• Now properly responds to CEC <System Audio Mode Request> command.
• Fixed Box250mm's image not available message for DMT0660.
• EDID Emulator state machine has improved handling of certain STOP conditions.
• Time command gives error if too few parameters given.
• CEC <Set Menu Language> response format corrected.
• YCbCr to YYY switch now produces correct colors.
• Can now create 5-byte HDMI VSDB in EDID Editor.
• VSDB label in EDID Editor changed to reflect HDMI specificity.
• EDID Editor now correctly handles changes to latencies in VSDB.

• Test steps TT01 and TT02 of Test Section 1A-01 are not tested because the application does not have visability into the control bits of the TMDS data islands. Therefore a Pass result on the test report only applies to the tests within that section that are executed.
  
  
• Test steps TT01 and TT02 of Test Section 1B-01 are not tested because the application does not have visability into the control bits of the TMDS data islands. Therefore a Pass result on the test report only applies to the tests within that section that are executed.
  
  
• Test Section 1A-08 is not tested because this test requires a DVD with a list of KSVs that have been revoked. We will support this in the future when the DVD with SRM is available.
  
  
• Test Section 1A-09 cannot be tested because the application cannot collect the TMDS video.
  
  
• Test Section 2C-04 cannot be tested because the application cannot control the positioning of the encryption enable signal in DVI.
  
  

• try running the tests in batch mode by using the front panel interface
  
  
• if there is a problem, try running the tests one by one via the command line (see the repeater AB test procedure below as an example and refer to the user guide)
  
  
• the test reports will be saved in /card0/library/reports if there is a PCMCIA card inserted in the 882EA (/tffs0/library/reports/ if no PCMCIA is inserted)
  
  

• you can monitor the transactions on Tx port 1 using the ACA
  
  

• you can monitor the transactions if you have another 882C/882CA/882E/882EA and a TPA-ACA-3R
  
  
• connect the output of the source device to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 1, the input 1 of 882EA (test equipment) to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 2, and output 1 of a different 882C/882CA/882E/882EA (ACA monitoring device) to TPA-ACA-3R's OUT 1
  
  
• use the ACA on the 882C/882CA/882E/882EA that is not the test equipment to monitor the transactions on Tx port 1
  
  

• use a separate source device and connect it to the upstream port of the repeater
  
  
• use the 882EA's Rx 1 port as the sink device and connect it to the downstream port of the repeater
  
  
• you can monitor either downstream or upstream transactions (not both at the same time) if you have another 882C/882CA/882E/882EA and a TPA-ACA-3R
  
  
• in order to monitor the downstream transactions, connect the downstream of the repeater device to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 1, the input 1 of 882882EA (test equipment) to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 2, and output 1 of a different 882C/882CA/882E/882EA (ACA monitoring device) to TPA-ACA-3R's OUT 1
  
  
• in order to monitor the upstream transactions, connect the output of the source device to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 1, the upstream of the repeater device to TPA-ACA-3R's DUT 2, and output 1 of a different 882C/882CA/882E/882EA (ACA monitoring device) to TPA-ACA-3R's OUT 1
  
  
• use the ACA on the 882C/882CA/882E/882EA that is not the test equipment to monitor the transactions on Tx port 1
  
  

• connect the 882EA's Tx 1 port to the upstream port of the repeater



• connect the 882EA's Rx 1 port to the downstream port of the repeater



• make sure HdcpProd image is not selected on the 882882EA before running the tests



• you can monitor the downstream transactions on Rx port 1 using the ACA



• you can monitor the upstream transactions on Tx port 1 using the ACA

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

The Release 2.15.0 is comprised of the following software components.

Now you can use Quantum Data's new AutoUpdate utility to upgrade your generator firmware and gateware. The AutoUpdate utility automates the process of upgrading firmware. It guides the user through the upgrade process, checking the Quantum Data website for the latest version and installing all files in the correct location on the generator.

Read the AutoUpdate Instructions.
Download AutoUpdate Version 1.1.1 for 880 series (includes instructions)
