Technical Ntes: New features: Added supprt fr utput AOI: T quickly set up the utput AOI (Area Of Interest), select the Setup : OUTPUTS page then select the utput fr which yu want t cnfigure the AOI (especially useful when using LED wall cnfiguratins). Select the AOI buttn then adjust the size and psitin f the AOI t remve unseen r useless display areas and perate exclusively n the actually displayed utput area: 1

2 Added supprt fr custm canvas mde: T freely cmbine utputs int a specific screen pixel area (fr example in Hard-Edge / LED wall cnfiguratins, r when cmbining different utput frmats), select a screen and check the Custm Canvas mde. Specify the ttal viewable screen size in pixels (can be large) and then drag and drp the required utput(s) t the screen's Layut: Output List: Finally, click n the layut Setup buttn t psitin the utput(s) in the screen: 2

3 Evlutins Added an ptin t recall a Master Preset at system startup: In the Setup : CONTROL : Startup Presets page, select a previusly created Master Memry that will be laded when the system pwers n. New cling management: Un-needed fans have been disabled and will nly run fr a ne minute test every 4 hurs, r if the chip temperature reaches an extreme temperature. A cre set f fans will cntinue t cl the unit and fan speed will be thrttled based n the ambient temperature. The results f the last fan test can be fund n the SERVICES : Temperature page. Any critical fan failure will prduce a warning via pp-up message in the WebRCS. New system temperature graph with limits: 3

4 Added a 360 setting t enable rtatin latency n sme utputs: The Enable Rtatin status tells yu whether the screen has rtatin prcessing enabled r nt. Rtatin prcessing is autmatically enabled n all utputs f a screen when any ne f the screen's utputs uses rtatin. This ensures the same latency n all screen utputs, including nn-rtated utputs. T ensure the same latency between rtated and nn-rtated screens (required in sync mde), enable rtatin prcessing n each nn-rtated screen by selecting the 360 rtatin ptin f ne f its utputs Added EDIDs with rtatin including 1080x1920 Bug Fixes 2K@60Hz SDI Output is nt well frmatted SDI utput cntent may be shifted right at start-up Output card stp wrking when sft edge pattern is displayed n 4K utputs screen Knwn issues N preview rectangle frame are displayed when utput 1 is n screen 2 AOI Hrizntal size n interlaced utput is limited t half ttal line size Hrizntal size fr Dual Link and Wide single custm utput frmat is limited t mdulus 4 value 4

Technical Ntes: Evlutins Nne Bug Fixes When the sft-edge blending settings (cverage size fr example) are mdified, the utput frmat is systematically cmputed and generated again causing sync lss by the display. When an input with a SDTV signal is used as a reference fr the internal rate, it is nt prcessed prperly. The image is displayed twice withut verscan. The utput signal is nt stable when the utput frmat type is cmputer and an interlaced SDI signal is used as a reference fr the internal rate. When a3- SDI level B surce is unplugged frm a SDI input plug, this input plug can t detect any ther signals than 3G-SDI level B anymre. On the utput#2 f a NeXtage 08 /NeXtage 16 with the 4K ptin, it shuldn t be pssible t use a dual reslutin with an utput rate different frm the internal rate. 8

Technical Ntes: Evlutins Management f the frames and lgs f linked slave device: when linking tw LiveCre units tgether, 8 frames and 8 lgs resurces are available (instead f 4 until nw).the use f frames fr native backgrund is significantly simplified. Reduced latency: When the internal rate is generated by the fllw mde f an input, all the inputs that are synchrnized with this reference have a minimal latency f 1 frame at the utput f the LiveCre unit (instead f 2 until nw). Cnfidence presets can be included in the Master Presets memries: when saving a master preset, it is pssible t include the cnfidence mnitr preset. The next time the master preset memry is recalled, the cnfidence mnitr is mdified accrdingly. Independent utput rates (except NXT0802 and NXT1604): nly available n the 4 utput LiveCre units, the feature enables t set a rate different frm the internal rate t an utput. Please nte that the latency f the cncerned utputs will be increased by ne frame due t the additinal frame rate cnversin. Dual frmats available n HDMI utput plug: all frmats (including custm frmats) requiring a bandwidth greater than can be delivered by the 4K HDMI utput plugs (utput #2, fr 4-utput units: utput #4). Befre versin 4.00, nly frmat until 2K/2048x Hz and 4K/UHD frmats culd be delivered. New Layer brder: the LiveCre series nw includes Smth shadw brder A new smth shadw brder is available. A rund crner ptin is available t change the aspect f the brder crners. 9

10 Screen with different utput sizes: It is nw pssible t use utputs whse reslutins are different in the same screen. When placing the utput in the screen grid, each rw has the height f the tallest utput in the rw and each clumn ha the width f the largest utput in the clumn. It is a first step t the next versin that will handle free size screens and utput Areas Of Interest (AOI).

Fr the nn 4K input cards, Dual Link frmats are nt available as preferred frmat f the EDID f the DVI input#2. Native 4K Inputs and 4K Frames dn t wrk n an utput whse frmat is 4K 60Hz 4:2:0. When a crpped 4K surce is displayed n an utput whse frmat is 4K 60Hz 4:2:0, sme quadrants may be incrrect (bad cntent, blink). The EDID Preferred frmat 4096x1080 shuld nt exist. The EDID standard desn t allcate enugh bits fr the preferred frmat field: this frmat must be specified in the CEA-861 Extensin. 720p 24/23.97Hz signals are nt detected prperly by SDI inputs. Layers whse psitin is negative (X r Y) are shifted when lading a memry with the Aut-Scale ptin enabled. The label f an input signal is still displayed in the mnitring widget even if the input signal is discnnected. The Drag and Drp feature is nt available fr cnfidence and mnitring presets. Smetimes, the list f valid utput frmats is empty. Output patterns are crrupted when a dual-link utput frmat is used. When linking tw units, the slave device can t be switched ff frm the frnt panel buttn anymre if the shutdwn request is sent t the master via the LAN interface. The unit desn't bt if the still library has t many 4K frames. 10

11 Web RCS: In the Precnfig>Screens page: When mdifying the screen size settings, the graphic cmpnent keeps the fcus even if the user clicks utside the cntrl (muse wheel is still active). The widget in a Cnfidence screen is nt deselected when the mnitring r screen pages are selected. When linking tw units, if the mnitring ID pattern is activated frm the quick setup panel, nly the master unit displays the pattern n its mnitring utput When linking tw units, in page Services>Temperature: nly the cards labels f the master device are displayed, thse f the slave unit are missing. Using Micrsft Edge web brwser, ppup windws are nt displayed n the fregrund when the full screen mde is enabled. N alarm flag is indicated n the WebRCS when a fan prblem is detected. Perspective layers When the Perspective Layers mde is enabled fr a hard-edge screen, the preview f this screen is nt displayed prperly n the cnfidence utput. When using a frame as a native backgrund n a Perspective Layer screen, a flash ccurs during transitins if the Z-mixing is activated. When linking tw units, Native cntent is nt displayed prperly n a 4-resurce utput belnging t a Perspective Layers screen with the Z-mixing activated.

Technical Ntes: Evlutins New utput clr adjustments: new settings were implemented t adjust the utput clr: Brightness, Cntrast, Red Gain, Green Gain and Blue Gain. These settings are independent fr each utput and a Reset buttn was added. Mnitring Screen Widget edge t edge psitining: the snap t ther widgets brders is nw pssible s it is much easier t align them tgether. 13

14 New editin tls fr the Mnitring/Preview editin panel: these tls (alignment, snap t grid/layer...) make easier the design f layuts fr the mnitring utput. New Cnfidence editin panel: The Cnfidence screens are nt managed in the SETUP sectin anymre (except indicating that a screen is used as a cnfidence mnitr). They are nw managed as the mnitring utput in the EDIT and LIVE sectins: An editin panel is available n the right side. This panel cntains tw tabs : ne fr the prperties and ne fr the memries (fr further details abut memries, please read the next item) 14

15 Cnfidence Memries: up t 16 memries are available t stre the cnfiguratin f the cnfidence screens. Saving a cnfiguratin can be achieved by clicking the SAVE MODE buttn and then selecting the memry slt. Each memry can be labelled s the peratr easily remembers the cntent f each memry. These memries can als be recalled clicking n the memry slt. Multi-Layer selectin t allw the change f layer parameters: It is nw pssible t mdify the prperties f a multi-layer selectin. Select a layer and then add a new layer by SHIFT+clicking: the prperties can be edited in the Prperties tab fr all the selected layers at the same time. Please nte that sme prperties like psitin will be set t the value f the firstly selected layer and then mdified. Wide reslutins carried n Single Link Custm Frmat: When creating a wide custm frmat whse width is larger than 2048 pixels but whse pixel frequency is lwer than 165MHz, the signal is nw carried as a Single-Link DVI stream. Please nte that the utputs using this frmat still require twice the number f resurces as the frmat is wide. Filters can be saved in a preset memry: It is nw pssible t include a preset filter in the memry t recall specific preset elements nly (all except native backgrund). A checkbx with the label Save current filter in Memry enables/disables this feature. 15

16 Bug Fixes Overall ptimizatin f lcking time n the framelck signal: the lcking time f the framelck signal was significantly reduced. Lcking time ptimizatin fr HD-SDI input signals: lcking time fr 1080i signal n SDI may be t lng and causing prblem with inputs cnnected t a SDI matrix. It was dramatically reduced t a mean value f 3,5s. Please nte that fr SD-SDI and 3D-SDI, the mean lcking time is abut 1s. Crpping a 4K surce with mre than 50% freezes the layer cntaining this surce: the crpping nw has n impact n 4K surce, even if the crp finder is clse t the left/right edge r if the size is inferir t The Device dwngrade is nt reset by the Factry (Out f the bx) reset: nw when resetting a dwngraded unit t its Out-Of-The-Bx state, the unit retrieves its real type. Capturing a Single Frame with mre than 1600 lines crashes the system: capturing a frame whse height is mre imprtant than 1600 lines (limit f 2560x1600 dual-link frmat) crashes the system. Unused utputs dn t use unnecessary resurces n the Mnitring Msaic view. In the editin panel f the sequencer, the list f Frames and Lgs nw displays valid infrmatin Resetting the Effects desn t disable the Smth Mve feature anymre. The Predefined Crpped setting is n lnger mdified when the Left crpping setting is adjusted. Layers B, D, F are nw masked n the Preview/Mnitring utputs when the Cut and Fill feature is enabled. 16

17 Prducts Date SEPTEMBER 08 th, 2015 NXT0802 / NXT1604 / SMX12x4 ASC1602 / ASC1602-4K / ASC3204 / ASC3204-4K / ASC4806 / ASC4806-4K / ASC4806-4K-PL LOE016 / LOE016-4K / LOE032 / LOE032-4K / LOE048 / LOE048-4K Versin Web RCS : V The versin(s) indicated here abve has (have) been tested and validated by the Technical Supprt Department. Technical Ntes: Evlutins New Layer Cut and Fill feature: the Cut & Fill feature allws keying the cntent f a layer using an input r a still picture (frame r lg) as the alpha channel. Usually, the Cut cntent (the mask), is a grey level cntent: the darker the grey level, the mre transparent the Fill cntent. If a clred cntent is used as Cut cntent, the Luma level f the Cut cntent is used t key the Fill cntent. As the Cut&Fill feature requires tw layers (ne fr the Cut and ne fr the Fill), nly layers A, C, E can be cut. T enable the Cut&Fill feature fr a layer, g t the Edit/Live tab f the Web RCS and select a layer. Enable the feature in the Layers prperties panel (n the right side f the Web RCS). A small area appears in the tp right crner f the layer, indicating that the feature is activated. Then select the surce fr the Cut using the right side panel r just drag-n-drpping the surce t the small area in the Layer. A snapsht f the Cut surce appears in this area. Others parameters such as crpping, flip and luma level threshlds are available. This feature cis based n layer parameters that are included in the preset memry: it means that these settings can be different frm a preset t anther ne. Fr example, using a static frame as Cut cntent and playing with the threshlds allws creating dynamic transitin effects. Custm Output Frmats: Using ne f the tw available mdes (CVT r full), peratrs can nw create their wn utput frmat. This feature is very useful fr LED wall applicatins and nnstandard industrial display applicatins. T access the Custm Frmats, g t the SETUP > OUTPUT sectin f the Web RCS Select the Custm Frmats n the left side. 17

18 LiveCre units ffer 10 memries t stre the user custm frmat. T mdify ne f the 10 frmats, just select it and enter the Edit mde by click the dedicated buttn. Then chse the mde t create/mdify the custm frmat In the CVT mde, the peratr nly has t set the width, height and rate f the frmat and t indicate if this frmat has reduced blanking intervals. The LiveCre unit will cmpute the frmat parameters accrding t CVT 1.1 frmulas. In the Full mde, the peratr can access and set all the parameters f the frmat (H&V frnt prch, H&V sync, H&V back prch, width height, sync plarity ) Once the settings are achieved, the peratr must check it t be sure that it fits with the unit capabilities (pixel frequency, line frequency ). If the frmat is valid, it can be saved. 18

19 Additinal actns can be achieved in the Edit mde f the Custm Frmats Lad frm: pre-lad the settings f a custm frmat with thse f anther memry. Reset t default: reset all the setting t their default values Cancel: quit the Edit mde withut saving the changes. Delete: delete all the setting f the memry slt and tag it as free (will nt appear in the list f available utput frmats) When setting the frmat f an utput, the custm frmats appear in the list f the available frmats nly if their rate equals the Internal Rate f the unit. 4K Frames: It is nw pssible t imprt r capture 4K frames. Just like fr Dual frames, a 4K frame must be declared as 4K and requires tw frame slts. A 4K frame can be assigned t frame slt #2 r #4. When using a 4K frame in a layer, the adjacent layer is disabled; nly layer A, C, E can be used. Hetergeneus Link supprt (WebRCS nly): Using the Web RCS, it is nw pssible t link any kind f Ascenders tgether. Just like fr a link between tw similar units, the peratr must t cnnect the cables between the tw different units and t start the Web RCS f the device that will used as the master unit. The rules fr the hetergeneus link are : The tw units must have the same firmware versin (at least 3.01.XYZ) 4K units can be linked t nn-4k units 4K Perspective Layers can be linked t nn 4K nn Perspective Layers units N dwngrade f the mst pwerful unit is necessary. The limitatins f the screens are linked t the utput capabilities : A screen cntaining several utputs with different number f layers will be limited t the capabilities f the weakest utput. Fr example: linking an ASC4806 t an ASC3204, a screen made f 2 utputs cming frm bth units will be limited t 4 layers. Hwever the remaining utputs f the ASC4806 still have 6 layers A screen cntaining utputs supprting Perspective Layers and thers withut this feature can t be declared as Perspective Layers Please nte that the SmartMatriX Ultra (ref. SMX12x4) is nt cncerned and can nly be linked t anther SMX12x4. Device temprary Dwngrade (t be used with Vertige cntrller): ASC4806, ASC3204 and NXT1604 can be dwngraded t a lwer mdel (This feature is nt available fr ASC1602, SMX12x4 and NXT0802). This feature can be useful t wrk with the Vertige cntrller that nly supprts assemblies with same type units. T dwngrade a LiveCre unit, g t the SETUP > CONTROL sectin f the Web RCS. Select Dwngrade n the left side. 19

Technical Ntes: Evlutins New Perspective Layers feature: nly available fr ASC4806 equipped with ptin OPT-4K-ASC4806-PL, this feature enables t handle layers in a 3D space. Using Advanced Layer Management, up t 12 perspective layers can be displayed n the same screen. Each screen can be declared as Perspective Layers independently in the Setup>SetupAssistant>Screens menu. When declaring a screen as Perspective Layers, the peratr can als enable/disable the Z-mixing When enabled, all the layers are in the same space can be depth switched using the Z dimensin. When disabled, the layers rder remains unchanged : A, B, C, D Changing the Z dimensin acts like zming. Cmpared t standard 2D layer cntrls, specific layer settings are available Z, Rt X, Rt Y, Rt Z Anchr Pint: each layer has an anchr pint that is used as a reference t apply psitin and rtatin settings. The peratr can select amng nine psitin fr the anchr pints. Please nte that changing the anchr pint f a layer will als change its psitin in the screen (settings applied with anther reference) 9 psitins fr the anchr pints are available : - Tp: left, centered, right - Middle : left, centered, right - Bttm : left, centered, right Predefined 3D Layuts are available as in 2D mde : 22

Tw new frmats are supprted t create 4K screens with tw side by side utputs. These frmats are 1920 x 2160 and 2048 x 2160.They can be used at 30Hz and 60Hz. Please nte that at 60 Hz, the input r utput must be cnfigured as Dual-Link. Bug fixes Crrectin f Native Backgrund management fr dual surces (Dual input n Screen 2x1): the crrect half f the input is assigned t each utput. Using the Web RCS, the T-bar is managed like Vertige T-bar n multiple screens. The input is captured prperly when the Aspect In is applied. A layer cntaining a keyed input is nw mixed prperly accrding t its alpha cntent: befre crrectin, transparent part f the keyed input tended t be darker that they shuld be. Restrictins Native surces must have the same size as the utputs in Perspective Screen using Z-Mixing mde. Dual Link and 4K surces can t be used in Perspective Layers. If the internal rate is greater than 30Hz, 4K30Hz surces can t be used as native backgrunds in screens with Z-Mixing enabled. 24

25 Prducts NXT1604 -SMX12x4 ASC ASC ASC4806 Date MARCH 27 th, 2015 Versin The versin(s) indicated here abve has (have) been tested and validated by the Technical Supprt Department. Technical Ntes: Evlutins The Web RCS was redesigned t prvide mre efficiency and t enhance the user experience: It uses a Flat Design interface, much legible and much simple fr the PC graphic bard t draw. As a cnsequence, the interface is up t 30% mre reactive than befre and the PC memry usage was dramatically imprved. The switching between EDIT and LIVE tabs is nw instantaneus. The new design is als mre cmpact and mre adapted fr smaller screen reslutins. Althugh they still have their wn specificities, the EDIT and LIVE mdes nw share many features t prvide mre efficiency. Fr example, the Memries and Layers Managements have been unified. The EDIT mde displays ne screen at a time, whereas the LIVE mde displays all the screens simultaneusly. 25

26 New Cue Sequencer: this new versin integrates a brand new cue sequencer with enhanced functinalities. It cmes with a built-in editr t easily create and edit cue sequences as well as a new player t cntrl the playback f a sequence. The number f cues in a sequence was increased t 128. Several types f cues are available (mstly based n Web RCS shrtcuts). Fr a better readability and understanding, cues can be gruped int cue stacks (up t ten). In the EDIT and LIVE tabs, the screen label is displayed in the selectin buttn: the screen label, entered in the SETUP>PRECONFIG>SCREEN menu, is available in the EDIT and LIVE tabs. The Web RCS envirnment is managed with the new Visual Settings feature: It is nw pssible t save the visual setting: Save saves the Visual Settings, Cancel relads the latest saved cnfiguratin and Reset sets the settings t the default values. The Web RCS can be finger-perated with tuchscreen devices. Sme user interface elements were adapted t best suit the tuchscreen interface. 26 The new T-bars panel is pinnable: it remains pened as lng as the peratr needs perfrms.

27 The Faders panel is nw accessible in the LIVE tab. The LiveCre TM unit equipped with the 4K ptin (except NeXtage 16 ref.nxt1604) can deliver 4K cntent at 60Hz n a single HDMI cable using the 4:2:0 chrmaticity sub-sampling: fr further infrmatin abut 4K, please read the white paper dedicated t 4K, available n ur website. A 4K 30Hz input frmat can nw be used with an internal rate abve 30Hz: this limitatin is ver. It is nw pssible t use a 4K30p signal with a 60Hz internal rate. Fr further infrmatin abut 4K, please read the white paper dedicated t 4K, available n ur website. The 3G-SDI inputs nw supprts 3G-SDI level B surces: mainly used in bradcast applicatins, the 3G-SDI level B standard is nw supprted by LiveCre TM SDI inputs. New cntrl t remve the layer frames n Mnitring/Preview Output (Clean Preview): in the SETUP>MONITORING menu, it is pssible t partially r ttally remve the layer frame n the Mnitring/Preview Output: the peratr can display a Clean Preview. 27 Reset Image Settings feature is nw accessible thrugh a buttn in the input settings panel: it is pssible t reset the Image Settings f an input directly frm its setting panel.

28 Better Native Backgrund management fr screen using 4K utputs: the psitin f the frame/input can be adjusted. Bug fixes Bursts f T-bar mdificatins using TPP prtcl may rebt the device: sending t many T-Bars values with the Third Party prtcl may rebt the LiveCre TM unit. When linking tw units, Dual Frames are nt displayed crrectly n the mnitring utput f the slave device: this prblem was caused by a bad cmmunicatin between the master unit and the slave unit. When linking tw units, the layer mvements n the utputs f the slave device are nt synchrnized with thse n the utputs f the master unit: this prblem was caused by a bad cmmunicatin between the master unit and the slave unit. When linking tw units, in the Setting panel f the utputs #6 and #8, the Output Digital Mde cntrl (HDMI/DVI) has n effect n the Slave utput: this prblem was caused by a bad cmmunicatin between the master unit and the slave unit. Smetimes, when the device rate is frame-lcked t an input, the utputs may nt deliver any signal: when bth the reference input frmat and the utput frmat were HDTV, the frame-lck prcess didn t wrk and the utput didn t deliver any signal. Frame-lcking the device internal rate t a 4K 30Hz input desn t wrk: The reference 4K 30Hz input signal was described as invalid. The input EDID preferred frmat list is nt prperly filled depending f the input plug type (Dual, 4K cmpliant ): sme input frmats were prpsed as EDID preferred frmat fr a plug in spite f the fact this plug culdn t supprt them. 28

29 Input RGsB cmputer signals are nt recgnized and centered prperly: due t bad analysis f the cmpsite sync, the RGsB (SOG) signals were nt detected prperly and the active area was nt centered prperly because f a blanking shift. The frnt panel HMI may send cmmands n the Prgram instead f Preview: A bad analysis f the internal T- bar psitin applies changes t the Prgram instead f the Preview. The SETUP>BLENDING page is nt updated accrding t utput psitin changes in the screen: when changing the psitin f an utput in the screen (SETUP>PRECONFIG>SCREENS), the blending page shuld be updated accrdingly. An Invalid utput frmat warning is raised n the Web RCS althugh this utput is disabled: a disabled utput shuldn t generate a warning message. A nasty seam clumn appears when crpping a dual frame: when crpping a dual frame in the SETUP> LOGO> FRAMEx>CROPPING menu, a scratched cntent appeared. On the EDIT/LIVE>MONITORING page, the number f displayed resurces is nt refreshed prperly when the widget surce is mdified: depending f the surce assigned t the widget, the number f used resurces shuld be updated. Dual inputs are nt handled prperly when they are unplugged: smetimes it is nt pssible t recver the input. The cntent displayed by analg vide utputs is crpped: in spite f the fact the utput frmat was generated prperly, the cntent was crpped (ne line missing at the bttm, and a few pixel clumn n the right side). The cntent was displayed prperly n the digital utput. On the Web RCS, the layer cntent is nt refreshed prperly when the lg/frame resurce is empty: the utput layer was updated prperly, but the Web RCS preview snapsht f the frmer surce was still present. Crrected. On the Web RCS, when switching selectin frm Prgram t Preview, the Layer status related cntrls are nt refreshed: sme prperties in the right side panel are nt updated prperly. It shuld nt be pssible t activate the Dual buttn when uplading an image as a lg: the dual prperty shuld nly be available fr frames. In the SETUP>PRECONFIG>SCREENS menu, drpping an utput ver itself n the Unused Outputs sectin causes the utput t disappear: this was an HMI bug (wrkarunds were: cming back and frth t the menu r simply restarting the Web RCS). In the screen cnfiguratin, Lad template desn t wrk if the utputs are in the Unused Outputs area: lading a template was nt wrking as the utputs in the Unused Output sectin were nt assigned t the screens. Restrictins 4K utputs cannt be rtated. 2048x1152 utput frmat cannt be rtated. N 4K frame available t be used with 4K 30Hz 4:4:4 utput: Frames can nly be used fr 4K 60Hz 4:2:0 utput: it requires the use f fur 2K Frames. 29

30 Prducts NXT1604 -SMX12x4 ASC ASC ASC4806 Date 12 DEC 2014 Versin The versin(s) indicated here abve has (have) been tested and validated by the Technical Supprt Department. Technical Ntes: Evlutins 4K 30Hz input and utput frmats are supprted by 4K devices: when a LiveCre unit is equipped with its dedicated 4K ptin, it can supprt 4K 30Hz 4:4:4 surce f the HDMI plugs f input #2,#6 and #10. Mrever, it can utput 4K 30Hz 4:4:4 frmat n the DVI cnnectrs f utput #2 and #4. Please nte that: These utput DVI cnnectrs are HDMI cmpliant When using either a 4K 30Hz input r utput, the internal rate (and therefre the utput rate) must be 30Hz. This limitatin will be remved in the frthcming updater versin 2.00.xx. Bug fixes Screens withut prtected cntent (HDCP) are still displayed with grey n a Cnfidence screen: when displaying a cnfidence screen n a nn-hdcp display, if a prgram mixed HDCP and nn-hdcp cntents, the prgram was ttally greyed. This is nw crrected: nly layers with HDCP cntent are greyed. N dual link utput frmat available n slave mnitring utput: when linking t LiveCre units tgether, it was nt pssible t select a dual-link frmat n the mnitring utput f the slave device. Input Aspect rati is nt managed in a cnfidence screen: the input aspect rati was nt applied when a surce was displayed in a cnfidence mnitr. 1920x1080p Input DisplayPrt signal is smetimes seen as a 3840x1080p signal: 1080p frmats were smetimes nt detected prperly by the DisplayPrt inputs. This may cause a wrng detectin status Unknwn frmat 3840x1080p and the cntent may nt be displayed. 30
