These units will be designated as 'mediaHUB' (no -HD in product name references). Hardware 2 units can be identified as any unit currently running on firmware releases designated as version 2.xx.xx. These units will be designated as 'mediaHUB' (no -HD in product name references). Hardware 3 units can be identified as any unit currently running on firmware releases designated as version 3.xx.xx. These units will be designated as either 'mediaHUB-HD' (for releases 3.00.09 and below) or 'mediaHUB-HD Pro' (for releases 3.00.10 above). Hardware 3 units incorporate a new encoder subsystem that supports both standard and high definition video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Known Issues for Version 3.05.20, October 16, 2009. AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRONT PANEL: Some front panel menu options are not limited to valid ranges. The result allows users to enter invalid options. Refer to API and manual documentation for valid ranges. ENCODER: Capture to file is only supported up to a transport mux rate (TMR) of 40Mbps. At higher rates, capture will not be active. ENCODER: Dolby E passthru 16-bit mode is not supported. DECODER: Under certain conditions, the confidence decode may stutter slightly at startup. This stuttering is not present in the encoded stream. DECODER: The decoder audio will not play for transport stream content with Dolby AC3 audio which uses the stream type '6' (MPEG2 PES private type) to identify the PID type. This is to prevent decoder issues when the stream type 6 contains Dolby E audio. DECODER: There may be a several second audio delay when changing audio tracks. DECODER: If your installation requires the use of playback lists, note that the command response for "LIST" or "LIST ADD xxx" for lists larger than 400 entries can take longer than one minute. Use 'terse' forms LI or LI ADD for fast API responses on systems using large lists. DECODER: Due to protected content mechanisms and the layering nature of DVDs, some extracted DVD content will not play properly. SYSTEM: File registration does not accurately register the duration of elementary AAC files. Typically, it registers them with a 00:00:00:00 duration. WEB USER INTERFACE: When encoding at the highest Trans Mux Rate possible for the encoder, the web user interface is designed to become less responsive freeing up resources to maintain a quality transmission. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.05.20 SERIES -- INTERNAL BUILDS -- AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.19, September 28, 2009, AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEB USER INTERFACE: 1) AUDIO 1 TAB: Corrected issue when selecting SDI Passthru for Audio 1. In previous versions, this tab had an incorrect rate validation set and would error out. ENCODER: 2) Corrected issues found when using closed captions with 720p resolutions. In previous versions, this could cause tearing in the video and could cause the closed captions to read-back as garbled characters. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.18, September 23, 2009, AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRONT PANEL: 1) Extended IP Destination options (previously labeled MULTICAST) to support new 4X Send capability. Each SEND functions independently and has unique FEC, RTP, TOS, TTL, IPA and PORT configurations. 2) Added VBI Source selection to Tables menu where additional VBI data is managed. ENCODER: 3) Corrected potential audio drift issue when encoding Dolby from AES input. 4) Corrected error causing EIT events to show an incorrect start time of "6 Jan 1980". 5) Added ATSC AC-3 descriptor to PMT when in ATSC tables mode. Added ATSC AC-3 descriptor to EIT tables when Dolby encoding (not passthru). SYSTEM: 6) Added functionality to print the Transport Status TRA to the logs at the rate of once a minute. 7) Corrected issue with ftp that would cause pure-ftp to stop functioning after 55 unique transfer sessions. DECODER: 8) Implemented Level A and B concurrent FEC recovery. Recovery is automatic and does not require a configuration setting to enable. Implemented RTP packet re-ordering. 9) Corrected issue that would falsely cause video/audio freeze detection when video bit rate dropped below 5.0 mbps WEB USER INTERFACE: 10) GENERAL: Added EXPIRES directives to web application. This prevents browser caching of stale data, and eliminates the need for users to clear browser cache when upgrading. 11) AUDIO TAB > AUDIO 1: Re-added SDI Passthru as an option for Audio 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.16, September 11, 2009, AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENCODER: 1) Added support for unicast routing of FEC. 2) Corrected issue found with Composite PAL video when teletext extraction was disabled. In previous versions, this would produce a green line visible in the video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.15, September 9, 2009, AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRONT PANEL: 1) TABLES MENU: Re-added Closed Caption (CLC) option DVS157 to the Tables Menu > Closed Caption Sub Menu. ENCODER: 2) Added logic that prevents the initialization of the confidence decoder via encoder command when BISS encryption is enabled. Since the confidence decoder is not capable of decryption, preventing this initialization prevents thrashing of the decoder. 3) Enabled Closed Caption option DVS157 for concurrent ATSC carriage. 4) Corrected PMT tables to reflect only valid and enabled audio streams. 5) Fixed condition where encoder could become bound when switching to or from SDI audio passhthru. 6) Change the default setting for the Dolby Output (DOU) command to MUX. The previous default setting "MUX+AES" could result in Dolby audio drift over time. 7) Added internal switch to adjust aspect ratio when encoding High Definition resolutions to 16 X 9. 8) Corrected issue with SDI receivers detecting an unknown video type by forcing the encoder to maintain the last known good video type. In previous versions, the encoder would falsely cycle when it was detected. 9) Added autoscan capability on SDI input source for VANC 708 VBI data. The limits are from line 8 to 25. SYSTEM: 10) Added default store log limitation (3 days) to drive-less systems. 11) Added debug capability to the myles communication system used with the web application. Hardened messaging handling to and from myles to prevent segmentation faults. 12) Fixed MIB formatting for better compatibility with 3rd party software. 13) Added functionality to pass the tail end of the current log to the web application for debugging purposes. DECODER: 14) Added DVBASIERRRECOVER and DVBASILATENT commands for DVB ASI error recovery and latency. See API Notes for more information. WEB USER INTERFACE: 15) SERVICES TAB: Expanded IP Transport Sub Tab to include configuration options for all four possible multicast or unicast streams. 16) AUDIO TAB: Removed SDI as a selectable option for Passthru as logic currently imposes incorrect variables on the encoder. It is still a valid option selectable via the front panel and will return to the web application once logic is corrected. 17) VBI TAB: Re-added Closed Caption (CLC) option DVS157 Captions Sub Menu. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.14, August 26, 2009, AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRONT PANEL: 1) TABLES MENU: Removed invalid Closed Caption (CLC) options from front panel and added new ATSCCONVERT option. The only valid closed caption options are OFF, ATSC, ATSC708 and ATSCCONVERT. 2) TRANSMIT MENU: Added Type of Service (TOS) and Time to Live (TTL) settings to the Multicast Sub Menu. ENCODER: 3) Enhanced the recently added VBI Source (VBS) command so that it enforces dynamic updates to tables when the VBI Source (VBS) is changed. 4) Added ATSCCONVERT as an option for closed captions. This option will convert CEA-608 608-E closed caption data to CEA-708-D formatted closed caption data. 5) Added ATSC caption service descriptor and short event descriptor when captions are enabled and present. 6) Enhanced ATSC table versioning and initialization process to ensure properly formatted ATSC tables. Incorrect initialization sequence or table malformation would result in binding of the application at boot time and produce CC errors in the transport stream. 7) Adjusted encoder boot to ensure that the encoder initializes with valid SDI parameters. Previously, units might not auto-detect HD-SDI at boot time. 8) Added the ability for the device to simultaneously unicast to up to four unicast destinations. Each unicast has independent Multicast Mode (MMO), Multicast Send IPA (MSI), Multicast Send Port (MSP), Type of Service (TOS), Time to Live (TTL) and FEC Parameter (FPR) settings. Each setting is identified by a numeric option immediately following the command. (ex. TOS 0 gets the Type of Service setting for the 1st unicast. TOS 1 gets the 2nd.) 9) Added corrective action at startup to ensure that all device communications are in sync. SYSTEM: 10) Modified the drive mount function to ensure that devices not utilizing a hard-drive can maintain minimal logging on the CF Card for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. WEB USER INTERFACE: 11) Updated application login page to now display the currently running firmware version under the Quick Links section. 12) Enhanced web user interface to prevent memory leaks, improve performance and avoid communication errors when there is an abundance of configuration requests or when the device has been running over an extended period of time. 13) The Service Tab has been divided into 3 sub tabs for ease of use: - ASI Transport - Contains transport rate, service data and table information. - IP Transport - Contains Multicast/Unicast variables. - Bars, Tones and ID - Contains switches for overlaying Bars, Tones or Service Information. 14) The VBI Tab has been divided into 2 sub tabs for ease of use: - Captions - Contains fields specific to closed captioning. - Teletext - Contains fields specific to teletext. These fields are editable when the frame rate of the encoded video is 50p or 25i. * NOTE: Splice PID and AMOL PID information has been moved to the PID tab. They are not part of the PID paradigms schemes located on that tab. 15) Added power cycle capability to the System Tab via Power Cycle button. Power cycling the device will stop all encoding / conf.decoding and you will not be able to communicate with the device while it resets. (approx. 45 secs.) 16) Fixed logic on Audio 2 sub tab that incorrectly showed SDI as a valid option for PASSTHRU mode. Corrected issues in logic for Audio 1 and 2 that prevented users from selecting valid input options when in ENCODE mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.13 series -- INTERNAL BUILDS -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.12, August 10, 2009, AHP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENCODER: 1) Added new command VBISOURCE (VBS). This option allows users to select which input to extract VBI data from when the video input is SDI. This is primarily designed for teletext and WSS capture from a COMPOSITE source while encoding video from a SDI source. Note: The rules concerning CLOSEDCAPTION (CLC) and this command are found below. Video Source (Input) is HD-SDI - VBI Source is set to SDI : CC option is ATSC 708 - VBI Source is set to COMPOSITE: CC option is ATSC 608 Video Source (Input) is SD-SDI - VBI Source is set to SDI: CC options are ATSC 608 - VBI Source is set to COMPOSITE: CC option is ATSC 608 Video Source (Input) is COMPOSITE - VBI Source is set to SDI: Not Valid - VBI Source is set to COMPOSITE: CC option is ATSC 608 2) Added new ATSC 708 setting to the CLOSEDCAPTION (CLC) command. See above note concerning VBISOURCE (VBS) for implementation details. 3) One channel of Dolby E, Dolby Digital AC-3 and Linear PCM Passthru is now available via the SDI input. 4) Added the ability to generate Color Bars [ECOLORBARS], OSD [ECOLORBARSOSD] and Color Bars and Tones [ECOLORBARSTONE]. Note: Rendering requires a stable video input. WEB USER INTERFACE: 5) VBI TAB: - Added VBI Source selection option. - Exposed ATSC 708 selection in the Closed Captions drop down. 6) SERVICE TAB: - Exposed NIT parameters for configuration. These setting are only used when tables are set to DVB. - Added functionality to trigger Color Bars, OSD or Bars and Tones. 7) AUDIO TAB: - Fixed bug that prevents the editing of data rate and audio level when switching from PASSTHRU mode to ENCODE mode. - Adjust selection options so that Passthru of Dolby E, Dolby Digital AC-3 and Linear PCM are selectable when input is SDI. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.11, August 7, 2009, AHP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM: 1) Added automatic corrective action in the event that the number of incoming requests to the encoder backlogs. This condition occurs rarely and is specific to long-term (24 hour +) encodes. This corrective action flushes out pending commands in order to stabilize the command channel. Example log sequence: [ETRANS]: 251517 readRply: 4 bytes of residual data in command buffer, it will be removed [ETRANS]: 251517 readRply: 17 bytes of residual data in command buffer, it will be removed [ETRANS]: 54000 CMD(2127, 194, 2): ->QV1^M [ETRANS]: 54000 Error reading reply, CMD(2127, 99): <- [ETRANS]: 54000 Backlog too deep, flushing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.10 -- INTERNAL BUILD -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.09, July 24, 2009, AHP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENCODER: 1) Corrected issue with default encoder configurations that causes the confidence decoder to fail decoding when unit boots with a non-migrated configuration. Condition is recognized by specific log message: "Video PTS error and Audio PTS error out of range, restarting Confidence Decode." "Stopping CONFIDENCE DECODE due to error condition." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.08, July 23, 2009, AHP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM: 1) Corrected issues with SNMP that prevented values from being set. 2) Enhanced NAS functionality related to NETSTORAGE command. This change assists with the accurate registration of files located on a NAS device. DECODER: 3) Corrected issue with HUE [HUE], BRIGHTNESS [BRI], CONTRAST [CON] and SATURATION [SAT] that kept those values from affecting the composite output. WEB USER INTERFACE: 4) AUDIO TAB: Modified the Dolby Parameter configuration values so that they are only valid when encoding Dolby Digital AC3. 5) AUDIO TAB: Fixed bug that would prevent changing MPEG 1 Layer 2 format (Mono or Stereo) when encoding MPEG 1 Layer 2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.07, July 16, 2009, AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENCODER: 1) Fixed bug with uploading profiles. Previous versions would not run or save the profile after upload so the settings would not take effect or be saved. SYSTEM: 2) Implemented route (IP layer 3) for IP unicast streaming. WEB USER INTERFACE: 3) The Audio Tab has been split into sub tabs. 1 - Global Audio Tab 1 - Audio sub tab per Audio Encoder 4) Exposed additional Dolby parameter settings for Audio 1 & 2. 5) Added a signed certificate to our ftp upload applet as well user notification when uploads have completed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.06, July 2, 2009, AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRONT PANEL: 1) Added Transport Stream Id to front panel PIDS menu.

WEB USER INTERFACE: 4) GENERAL: Updated version management in UI to use binary version process. 5) VIDEO TAB: Fixed bug that was preventing DVB Receiving from being set properly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.04, June 18, 2009, AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENCODER: 1) Implemented dynamic Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) option for Aspect Ratio (ARA) specific to PAL video. Selecting WSS will enable the encoder to read the incoming WSS flag and will adjust the aspect ratio in the MPEG2 video elementary stream accordingly. Note that Aspect Ratio is related to Active Format Descriptor (AFD). It is recommended to set AFD to WSS if Aspect Ratio is set to WSS. 2) Implemented static AFD support for for HD and NTSC video. This functionality is dependent upon closed captioning being turned on for the device. AFD is used by downstream decoding devices to properly display pixel aspect ratio on displays with differing aspect ratios. An AFD compatible display or STB/IRD is required. See API Notes and help hints for more information. DECODER: 3) The confidence decoder will be turned off when the encoding Transport Mux Rate is above 60Mbs. WEB USER INTERFACE: 4) GENERAL: Corrected compliance bug that was causing the application to fail loading when using IE browser. 5) PROFILE TAB: Enhanced profile upload process. The upload process now automatically loads and saves new settings with optional overwrite and rename functions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.03, June 15, 2009, AHP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRONT PANEL: 1) Removed independent Secondary Audio Command. It has been replaced with an OFF option under Audio Mode. 2) Removed Dolby Audio Input option from Audio Menus. This setting is managed automatically. 3) Relocated Sample Frequency to the top of the Audio Menu as it is a global configuration for both Audio 1 and Audio 2. 4) Relocated Confidence Decode configuration to Decoder Menu. 5) Added Auto Resolution configuration specific to the Confidence Decoder to the Decoder Menu. When turned ON, the decoder will look for the resolution settings from the encoder and match them for the output. When turned OFF, users may specify the display target. DECODER: 6) When the DECODEACTIVEFORMAT option is turned ON, it will automatically force the OUTASPECTRATIO and OUTPUTVIDEOSCALE options to OFF. This allows the decoder to properly set the screen resolution based on the decoded stream active format settings. The change to the OUTASPECTRATIO and OUTPUTVIDEOSCALE is recored in the log file. If DECODEACTIVEFORMAT is ON, the OUTASPECTRATIO and OUTPUTVIDEOSCALE options cannot be set and a log message is generated. ENCODER: 7) Adjusted lip sync for Doby AC3 (2.0) when in passthru mode. 8) Profile generation has been updated to include recently added configurations and previously omitted commands. Out-dated and unused configurations have been removed. SYSTEM: 9) Optimized file registration processes to reduce or eliminate "Busy Database Errors". 10) Modified PAR process to run .DVC files appropriately regardless of the .DVC file permission settings. WEB USER INTERFACE: 11) PROFILE TAB: Added functionality to automatically save new new settings when uploading a new profile. Assigned specific functionality to hitting the enter key. In previous versions, hitting the enter key would cause the browser to refresh to the previously opened tab. 12) STUDIO TAB > INVENTORY TAB: Enhanced studio encoding interface to allow for search capability, individual file playback and the download of encoded files. 13) VIDEO TAB: Exposed confidence decoder Active Format Descriptor (DAF) configuration. If turned ON, the decoder will read the Active Format Descriptor in the encoded transport stream and modify the display format to match the AFD setting. If the output is analog (NTSC, PAL, etc), WSS will be inserted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 03.05.02, June 2, 2009, AP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRONT PANEL: 1) Added Linear PCM option to Encoder Audio Menu > Audio Type. It is only available in Passthru Mode.

If current settings reflect a particular configuration, that option is selected by default upon refreshing the tab. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.02.21, December 09, 2008 GE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Change in Audio PTS management from "readback of FPGA" to "incrementally compute from theoretical". GUI: General fixes on UPGRADE tab, for all products. 1) Hiding section of "Available Versions" when no unextracted versions are found. 2) Simplified displayed message when a firmware version, or a firmware file is deleted. Instead of displaying the data returned by the server, message "Version <version-name> succesfully deleted" is displayed. 3) Display of installed and uninstalled versions are refreshed after every operation (e.g delete file, extract, delete, etc..), reflecting the most current data. 4) When updating the unit, deleting an installed version, or extracting a firmware file, a panel containing an animated image and a custom message is displayed, in addition to updating the information on the form status (top of the page, below navigation bar). this indicates that the unit is active, and a process is running on the server. Secondly, it disables all of the controls on the page, preventing any conflicts with the currently running process. Once the process is complete, the panel dissapears, and the page goes back to a normal state. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.02.20, December 04, 2008 GE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUI: 1) Internet Explorer and other Grade-A browsers are supported and fully compatible with all features. 2) New image for calendar icon on SYSTEM tab. 3) Eliminated text area in UPGRADE tab. Status messages displayed at the top of the page. 4) Eliminated button for uploading firmware files in UPGRADE tab. All files must be added using Adtec FTP uploader (top-right corner icon). Note: In order to display uploaded files, it is necessary to re-load upgrade tab once upload is completed. 5) Modified method to get AUDIOPID API setting in PID tab. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.02.19, November 19, 2008 GE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Corrected VERSION SEARCH to locate .gz files (not .tz) from release 3.02.14. MID 2379 2) Added persistence to the RUNVIDEODROP encoder configuration. 3) Fixed EIT in ATSC tables. Also added Long Channel Name to the EIT descriptor. GUI: 4) Bug fix on SERVICE tab that caused problems on Internet Explorer when major and/or minor channel variables were not defined. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.02.18, November 12, 2008 GMC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONFIDENCE DECODER: 1) The decoder would not return to the prior playback state after a confidence decode or PLAYSPOT playback session ended. This has been corrected. GUI: 2) Functionality is fully supported in Internet Explorer 7.0 and above. Look and Feel in IE needs work (See Known Issues ), but application is fully functional. 3) ADTEC FTP Uploader replaces FLASH-based HTTP Uploader. It can be used to upload firmware updates and/or media files. Look & Feel and functionality improved. Applets need to be allowed on the browser accessing the application. Supports JAVA version 1.5 or greater. 4) On STUDIO Tab, new section added when Controller Interface is set to NONE ("manual"). User's can set the encoder in CAPTURE FILE or TRANSMISSION mode. 5) UPGRADE tab no longer hides/displays sections to prevent sending multiple requests to the server when an UPGRADE is being performed. Instead, an invisible layer on top of the page disables input controls, and resumes to a normal state when the operation is complete. SYSTEM: 6) Updated user's manual to reflect upgrades in the product. 7) Improved Look and Feel in API notes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.02.16, November 10, 2008 GMC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mediaHUB-HD firmware was updated with recent changes to the Soloist4111 HD, Edje4111 HD, signEdje, SoloistHD Pro firmware. These changes include general system and decoder updates from decoder firmware release 2.03.09 through release 2.04.02. GUI: SYSTEM: 1) Updated factory shipped TIMEZONE handler so that units are shipped with working default daylight savings rule. [MID 2394] 2) Enabled Adtec-unit to Adtec-unit MirrorClient mode. Currently only hd0/media/ items are mirrored. [MID 2133] 3) Corrected argument handling to SNMPVAR. [MID 2257] 4) Added option to BARKLIST [HOST] to allow setting of destination messages independent of HOSTIPADDRESS. 5) Corrected rarely used variable name in MIRRORLIST mode where #PARAM_CHANGE directives were used for modify mirror settings on the fly. 6) Added DELAY command similar in functionality to legacy WAIT command. 7) Correct a bug in MirrorList mode which may trigger a failure to transfer files from the server. 8) Fixed issues in which commands may be lost if running them sequentially from a command DVC file. 9) Fixed TRACE command. Setting to OFF averts all logging. [MID 2106] 10) The log rotation will now run on power up if unit was powered down before the previous day's rollover occurred. 11) Command NTPSVRIPADDRESS [NIP] [NI] would not return an API response if an invalid IP address was entered. ENCODER: CONFIDENCE DECODER: 1) The OUTPUTASPECTRATIO configuration setting was not being properly applied when systems were using composite VIDEO modes such as NTSC or PAL. This has been corrected. [mid 2386] 2) OSD TEMPLATE Text regions did not clear the previous time/date during an update when a transparent background was used. This has been corrected. 3) VIDEO mode PALN is now supported. 4) Corrected issues where multicast and DVB-ASI streams would not always restart automatically after an interruption of the stream. 5) The BLANK NOVIDEO option was modified to disable the SDI output when playback is stopped. Support was removed for the NOVIDEO option for composite, DVI and HDMI connectors due to stability issues. When the NOVIDEO option is set, the composite, DVI and HDMI connectors will use the BLACK option. 6) The SDI embedded audio configuration was updated to duplicate group 1 channels 1 and 2 into group 1 channels 3 and 4. The audio group channels are not configurable via the API at this time. 7) Systems with DVI video connectors would become unresponsive if VIDEO was set to a 1080 or 720 mode and the monitor was not attached and powered up during startup. This problem exists only in prior 3.02.xx releases. 8) Command OUTPUTASPECTRATIO was changed to accept compact command OAR and terse command OR. The terse response was changed slightly to match terse formatting requirements. 9) Audio only clips would cause the OSD to display any image that was loaded into OSD. This was a result of invoking the automatic "graphics follows audio" function. The system now checks to make sure the loaded OSD image base name matches the audio clip's base name before issuing the OSD DISPLAY command. [MID 2361] 10) Fixed issue where empty lists would cause system instability. MID 0002382 11) The LST DVC process has been updated to properly handle whitespace characters at the end of each line. [MID 2340] 12) The LST DVC process has been updated to properly handle initialize and finalize. [MID 2335] 13) Corrected decoder CFG command to agree with MER command.

This TAB contains settings CLOSED CAPTION, VANC LINE, SPLICE PID, AMOL and TELETEXT DESCRIPTORS. these settings were removed from other tabs. - Uploading files (firmware updates and media files) via FTP supported using an HTML panel embedded inside the document. JAVA applets must be enabled in the browser being used, and user must trust ADTEC's signed key. **This component is released as a BETA version and it has not been tested on all brosers.** - STARTUP mode (on/off) is automatically updated depending on CONTROLLER INTERFACE (CIF) setting. - Eliminated support for option "1920x1080i" on DISPLAY TARGET. - CAS tab redesigned. Supports Encryption modes, BISS_1, BISS_E_USER_ID_ONE, and BISS_E_USER_ID_TWO. Settings passed back to the server when form is submitted depend entirely on the Encryption mode selected. - When setting AUDIO RATE (See AUDIO Tab), units are converted automatically from kbps to bps. - When setting VIDEO RATE (See VIDEO Tab), units are converted automatically from mbps to bps. - Support to get/set VIDEODROP setting on Video Tab. - HELP tab added. - Changed style for Table headers, which are now displayed in bold. - Tables support pagination with direct links. Avoids having to scroll down through several records. - Decreased navigation items padding from 15px to 10px. This prevents menu from being displayed in more than one line. It is specially important when using the application with a low resolution screen. - PID PARADIGM dropdown field allows for preset configuration of PID settings (See PID tab). 2) Support for ENCRYPTION in the command handler. Settings (mode, keys) can be accessed through the front panel of the unit, or the Graphical User Interface. Supports Encryption Modes BISS_1, BISS_E_USER_1, and BISS_E_USER_2. 3) C708 user data payload size is now configurable based on the video standard (HI-DEF ONLY). For STANDARD DEFINITION payload size remains as before. 4) Added finding *.nfcms.tz files in addition to *.nfcms.tgz files for version search. 5) Added command MAJORCHANNEL MAJ MJ and MINORCHANNEL MIN MN to configure the static ATSC PSIP tables. 6) Added Long Channel Name which is set using the SERVICEPROVIDER SPR. 7) Add AUDIO MODE "OFF" setting to config for MULTICHANNEL AUDIO SUPPORT. The "SAP" seeting is no longer sufficient for this purpose and will be deprecated. 8) Added video STD abstraction layer for SDI input. 9) MAJOR CHANNEL and MINOR CHANNEL configuration persists after rebooting the unit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.02.06, October 1, 2008. GMC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Systems with DVI decoder video connectors (mediaHUB-HD) would become unresponsive if the decoder VIDEO configuration was set to a 1080 or 720 mode and the monitor was not attached and powered up during startup. This problem exists only in prior 3.02.xx releases. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.02.05, September 30, 2008. GE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) GUI: - Audio Tab: AUDIO RATE automatically updates from kbps to bps when user's input < 1000 - Service Tab: TRANSMUX RATE (TMR) automatically updates from Mbps to bps when user's input < 1'000,000. - Studio Tab: - ASIMODE(ASM) field is disabled when CONTROLLER INTERFACE (CIF) is RSF422 (Device or Controller). - Enhanced Look & Feel, with new graphics, icons and a re-designed layout on RSF422(Controller) mode. - ASI MODE (ASM) set to ENCODEONLY when CONTROLLER INTERFACE is RSF422 (Device or Controller) is selected. - CAPTURE FILENAME saved with default path "/media/hd0/media." - Improved deck status detection. Possible displayed values are LOCAL, REMOTE, NO DECK, CASSETTE OUT, TAPE TROUBLE, and HARD ERROR. - Settings saved before recording begins. 2) SYSTEM: Added path handling for encoder CAPTUREFNAME (CFN). If a leading path is not argued, then it is assumed to be basename only and is prepended with Content_Path from the environment. 3) ENCODER: - Pad out the 708 user data payload with 0x00s instead of 0xFFs. This was causing the Tandberg TT1282 / 1280 to stutter when CC was enabled. - Change PMT label for Audio type from 0x03 (MPEG 1 PES type) to 0x04 (MPEG 2 PES type). - Adjust audio sync for 422 profile standard definition encoding (move ahead by additional 15 mSec). - Fix the analog audio input amplification gain at 0dB equal unity. Input is targeted for balanced audio inputs. If unbalanced sources are connected, then the ALV setting must be adjusted up by +6dB to maintain unity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.02.04, September 26, 2008. GE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Added the "RUNVIDEODROP" API command. If set to "OFF" (default mode) the encoder will stop when the video input drops If set to "ON", the encoder will attempt to continue running when the video drops out. NOTE that this is not guaranteed for HI-DEF input. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.02.03, September 24, 2008. GE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) GUI: - Refined Studio Tab allows to set/view CIF (CONTROL INTERFACE), PX (PREROLL) CFN (CAPTURE FILE NAME). - Functionality to review (PLAY) any file existing in the directory. - Settings for CCA (CONSTANT CAPTURE), CDE (CONFIDENCE DECODE), RDU (RECORD DURATION), AND RCT(RECORD TIME) are handled automatically when changing CIF (CONTROL INTERFACE). - Enhanced Video Tab.

GMC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Command NTPSVRIPADDRESS [NIP] [NI] would not return an API response if an invalid IP Address was entered. 2) The LST DVC process has been updated to properly handle whitespace characters at the end of each line. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.02.00, September 8, 2008. GMC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The mediaHUB-HD firmware was updated with recent changes to the Soloist4111 HD, Edje4111 HD, signEdje, SoloistHD Pro firmware. These changes include general system and decoder updates from decoder firmware release 2.02.12 through release 2.03.08. 1) Added MCASTERRRECOVER [MER] [MR] command to allow a user to configure the decoder recovery timeout value. This timeout is activated when a decoder error is detected during multicast receive or DVB-ASI receive. This value had been set to 180 seconds for all previous releases. The timeout now defaults to 10 seconds and is configurable from 33 milliseconds to 45000 milliseconds. Please see the Adtec API for details. 2) The DIRECTORY command was updated to properly handle systems with no files. 3) The "DIRECTORY r" command was not running the file registration refresh. 4) Optimized the file registration delete process to increase the robustness of DVC and SHADOWCMD files utilizing the COPY, DELETE and RENAME commands. 5) The multicast receive startup was modified to adjust buffer size at startup. 6) Added log message for systems receiving multicast or DVB-ASI to indicate if a PAT or PMT table change has been sensed. This log message can be used as a diagnostic tool for dropped multicast sessions. 7) Systems using SHADOWCMD and DVC files could experience intermittent system failures. Use of the COPY command in DVC and SHD files aggravated the problem. The cause of the failures has been corrected. 8) The startup search for AUTO DVC files (SCHAUTO.DVC, LSTAUTO.DVC, PARAUTO.DVC and CMDAUTO.DVC) is no longer case sensitive, and the AUTO DVC files may exist anywhere in the file system. If multiple files are found with the same name, the system will run the most recently registered file at startup. The log file messages have been updated to show the full path and file name of the found AUTO DVC file. The system no longer logs "not found" messages when searching for AUTO DVC files. 9) The file registration search algorithm has been updated. It will search all registered files in 'case-insensitive' mode and will return the most recently registered file if duplicate file names are found. 10) File name extensions are no longer required when arguing file names in API commands. For example, the following commands are now valid: LIST LOAD playlist PLAYSPOT mediaclip 11) The LST DVC process has been optimized and streamlined. Preliminary tests show that several hundred LIST ADDs can be run in a few seconds on an active system. Diagnostic log messages for the LST DVC process have been removed. 12) VIDEO mode 1080P23 has been added to support a 23.98 frame rate for 1080x1920 display resolution. 13) VIDEO mode 720P24 has been disabled to prevent decoder failures. 14) Added DECODEPGMNUM [DPN] [DN] command to select a specific program from an MPTS DVB-ASI or multicast stream. The command allows the configuration of a specific program number in the MPTS. Previously, the decoder would default to the first program found in the PAT table. Please see the Adtec API for details. 15) The TRANSPORT command will show the active program when playing an MPTS DVB-ASI or multicast stream. 16) The format of the DVBASISTATS [DAS] [BV] command response has been modified to show the Program Number in decimal and hex format. The line formatting was also modified to match the DECODEPGMNUM response format. 17) The SHADOWCMD function will now log the full path and name of the found .SHD file when it is loaded at the start of a spot. 18) The decoder firmware has been updated to a new release. 19) Modified display setup to initialize the monitor only once. Added "hotplug" capability for DVI and HDMI monitors. The system will automatically initialize the monitor for playback when it is plugged in or turned on. The DISPLAYMATRIX options are now automatically re-applied whenever the VIDEO configuration is changed. 20) FTP was updated to correct an issue where the transfer was terminated if the transfer took longer than 75 minutes. The new limit is 24 hours. In addition, the FTP transfer uses less system resources to reduce the possibility of playback stuttering during the transfer. 21) The TRANSPORT command will now report "MULTICAST RECEIVING" or "DVB_ASI RECEIVING" instead of "PLAYING" when multicast or DVB-ASI receive are active. This status also displays on the front panel Decoder Status screen. 22) Corrected an issue where a PLAYSPOT command could be lost if the decoder was transitioning between clips when the command was issued. 23) When the unit is actively multicast receiving or DVB-ASI receiving, transport commands STOP, PAUSE, NEXT, PREVIOUS, REWIND or PLAY will no longer be executed. This behavior was changed to match legacy Adtec decoder behavior. The command will return an error "Transport in use, no drive access allowed" when this condition occurs. 24) The audio left and right channels are no longer swapped. If the original swapped condition is required, command OUTPUTAUDIOSWAP OAS OA has been added to set a decoder configuration option. The default configuration is OFF, which is the correct channel polarity. Please see the Adtec API for details. [mid2108] 25) Added four new OSD Templates. The new templates allow one 'full screen' OSD image, along with a TEXT and CRAWL region. This allows the user to implement customized template patterns by using PNG images with a transparency layer. The new templates are NTSCFULL, PALFULL, 720FULL and 1080FULL. The API documentation for the OSDTEMPLATE command has been updated. 26) The OSDTEMPLATE process will now refresh the active CRAWL and TEXT regions immediately when an OSD image is changed. Previously, there was a slight delay before the TEXT and CRAWL images were fully refreshed after an image was changed. 27) The OSD Template system was updated to prevent conflicts caused when multiple OSD commands were sent 'back-to-back'. 28) Added OSD TEXT type "TIME". The new entry will show only the current time in 24 hour format (HH:MM:SE). The time will be updated every second. Please see Adtec API for OSDDISPLAY for more information. 29) Command OST OFF would cause intermittent system crashes. This has been corrected. 30) Updates for the VIDEOLOOPMODE setting will now take place at the next transition point. Previous releases required the execution of a transport command such as STOP, PLAY, NEXT or PREVIOUS to implement the new setting. 31) File Registration was not calculating the bitrate properly for SPTS spots. This issue has been corrected. 32) Added SNMP functionality. Commands SNMP [SNMP] [SNMP] and SNMPVAR [SNMPVAR] [SNMPVAR] have been added to enable and configure SNMP functionality. Please refer to the API documentation for details. [mid2257 and mid2258] 33) Added logging of the peer connection address when a new telnet connection is established on port 23. 34) RUN and SCHEDULE processes were changed to ensure proper conflict resolution. 35) Updated error handling for command processing, and added log messages for error conditions. 36) File registration would not register certain program stream files. This issue has been corrected. 37) SHADOWCMD processing was updated to ensure that all commands are sent successfully. This corrects a problem where 'back-to-back' commands could be lost. 38) Removed SHADOWCMD log entry: Jul 31 12:03:14 SoloistHD_Pro-010437 [DTRANS]: 42058 TShadowCmd:: updateStc: passed STC value 590012 which is >= 590000 Saved STC Value 39) Changed SHADOWCMD log entry: Jul 31 12:03:13 SoloistHD_Pro-010437 [DTRANS]: 253080 Sending command SUCCESS: *.dcmd OST 0^M to: Jul 31 12:03:13 SoloistHD_Pro-010437 [DTRANS]: 253080 Shadow Sending command SUCCESS: *.dcmd OST 0^M 40) The detection process for DVB-ASI and SDI components during reset is now more robust. 41) The GATEIPADDRESS [GIP] command was modified for faster execution. 42) Corrected an issue where the decoder's command handler would become unresponsive. This condition occurred when mediaControl when multicast was started using the 'Channel" panel. 43) Updated the API for SHADOWCMD. 44) Corrected problem with the DIRECTORY command to properly handle paths. [MID 2271] 45) The VOLUME setting was not being automatically applied when units were multicast receiving. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.01.30, August 29, 2008. GE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) GUI: - Encode Status Time is now displayed on the status panel. - CODEC/Chroma Displayed on the status panel. - ERROR/WARNING and INFO messages when submitting forms, dissapear from the screen after three seconds. - VIDEODETECTED on status panel displays an icon instead of text to indicate current status. - TELETEXT added to PID tab. - TIME setting (on SYSTEM tab) is only submitted when the user has made a change to the date and/or time fields in the form. - VIDEO tab completely redesigned. Settings exposed include: VIDEOINPUT, HSIZE, VSIZE, AUTOFILL, VIDEORATE, GROUPOFPICTURES, VID(both *.ecmd and *.dcmd), CHROMATYPE, ASPECTRATIO, OFILTERTEMPORAL, OFILTERSPATIAL, CONFDECODE, DVBASIMODE, and TRACKSELECT. - Changes set through the GUI are now persistent after re-booting the unit. - Restrictions on user's input were removed for those cases where possible errors are automatically handled by the underlying firmware . 2) Add support for generic transport packet types (support for BISS encryption test packet). 3) DECODER: Added DVB-ASI mode and audio track select configurations to the decoder menu. 4) DECODER: Fixed incorrect audio track constraints for confidence decode. The TSN reply will now show the correct active track when confidence decode is active. 5) ENCODER: Added selection 'ATSC' to the 'tables on' menu. 6) ENCODER: Fix issue with video bitrate dropping to 15Mbit on loss and return of hi-def source. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3.01.27, August 20, 2008.
