Feature Enhancements for 882E/881E Release 2.12.0 - vxWorks: 20.1885000

The following features are included in the Release 2.12.0.

  • EDID Editor now supports creating/modifying lipsync information in the vendor specific data block.

The following anomalies have been corrected in the Release 2.12.0.

  • Emulate Mode sets color space and sync type based on the interface and format selected. Enabling this mode will make the generator behave in the same way as release 2.4, whereas disabling this mode will make the generator behave in the same way as release 2.5.4 and later. Detailed information can be found in Chapter 2 of the user guide.
  • CEC end of message testing can now be correctly performed as described in Chapter 11 of the user guide.
  • EDID Editor can now correctly calculate the checksum when you load an XML file that you have saved previously.
  • You can now ImageShift custom images without having to load and use them at least once.
  • MAC address information in the GenStats image/report now shows the correct address in use.
  • Default bootline user and password are now set to "anonymous" and "user" respectively.
Note: The release files can only be applied to the 882E/881E generator (not the 882CA/882C/881C, 882D, nor 882EA generators).
