Improved input switching: a.) Freeze time during input switching optimized to avoid garbage/flickering. B.) Implemented input switching blank/fade slow/fade fast. This feature is of limited use for a HQView-2x0 since it only has one input plus the internal test pattern generator. 2. Fix for hot-plugging of SDI input sometimes coming up with wrong vertical capture position. 3. Test Pattern - Gamma can now be adjusted. 4. R/G/B curtain test patterns to full range (0..1023). 5. Fixed OSD disappearing when changing warp values back to zero with test pattern on. 6. Fixed issue with setting up system upon reading flawed DVI EDIDs. 7. Added extra HDCP kicks after I/O lock settling to work around problematic projector I/O boards not allowing for a conventional integrity check with the HQView. ----------------------------- From: PV6M_HQV200S_230A-7176.brec To: PV6M_HQV200S_240A-7414.brec From: PV6M_HQV210_230A-7176.brec To: PV6M_HQV210_240A-7414.brec Release Date: 27.04.2011 Changes implemented are: 1.

HQView-200 is discontinued. Instead the HQView-200S product line is introduced. HQView-200S compared to the former HQView-200 has no embedded warp. 2. HQView-210 is introduced with the feature set of the former HQView-200. It has PTZ and embedded Warp. 3. Since HQView-200S has no warp menu the Location item formerly listed in the warp menu is now available through the Display Type menu. The Display Type submenu collects Output Mode, Optimize for Display, Location, Frame Rate and I/O Lock since the Output menu only has room for six direct entries. This new ordering is done for HQView-200S and HQView-210. 4. Implemented alpha numeric fields in web pages. Thus, the web address can now be changed. User Name and Input Name can be changed as well through the web interface. 5. Test Pattern selection is now also through a menu item under System. Thus, there is now a mechanism to select the individual test patterns through a web browser. 6. Added 1366x768b mode from PVProHD to the o/p mode list. Added VESA CVT 50/60Hz 1440x900, 1360x768 and 1680x1050 to the output mode list. *************************************** * HQView-300S/ HQView-310/ HQView-320 * *************************************** From: PV6M_HQV300S_260E-7806.brec To: PV6M_HQV300S_271B-7976.brec From: PV6M_HQV310_260E-7806.brec To: PV6M_HQV310_271B -7976.brec From: PV6M_HQV320_260E-7806.brec To: PV6M_HQV320_271B -7976.brec Release Date: 06.02.2012 Changes implemented are: 1.

This Firmware is for Rev. B, Rev. 2.1 and Rev. 2.3 boards. 2. Fix for hot-plugging of SDI input sometimes coming up with wrong vertical capture position. 3. Default of allowable frame rates changed from 50/60Hz to 24/50/60Hz. 4. PIP: Overscan handler added aspect ratio ('anamorphic' setting) fixed. 5. Genlocking is applied to the internal test pattern generator now. 6. Fixed OSD disappearing when changing warp values back to zero with test pattern on. 7. Blend not redrawn properly after power cycle corrected. 8. Genlock control settings optimized. 9. FPGA Clock Sampling Phase adjustment in PiP/Single unit mode to remove fine green sparkles on vertical grey scale steps at o/p resolution 1080p. 10. Improved input switching: a.)

Context sensitive availability of flicker filter - only if VT filter FPGA is loaded and output is interlaced. 2. DVI/HDMI i/p color space and range can now be individually set up. 3. Detail Enhancement and CTI/LTI has context sensitive availability now. DE is available when the input is upscaled, i.e. the i/p resolution is less or equal to the o/p resolution. CTI/LTI is available for YCbCr color space i/p modes. 4. Analog VGA output sync signals corrected. HSYNC and VSYNC were being inverted. Also, CSYNC was not being generated correctly, as it should have HSYNC normal polarity apart from during the VSYNC period when it should be inverted. 5. Default o/p resolution is 720p instead of 480p now. Thus, the SDI o/p is showing an image after factory reset (without the need to switch with MENU/Contrast+/Contrast- to 480i for an SDI recognizable mode.) 6. Implemented limited Keylock, so that Input Selection and Blk/Con/Sat/Hue can be still accessed. Under System/Menu Settings/Keypad Lock the degree of keylocking can be set. -------------------------------------- From: PV6S_HQV500S_230C-7231.brec To: PV6S_HQV500S_240A-7421.brec From: PV6S_HQV510_230C-7231.brec To: PV6S_HQV510_240A-7421.brec From: PV6S_HQV520_230C-7231.brec To: PV6S_HQV520_240A-7421.brec Release Date: 27.04.2011 Changes implemented are: 1.

OSD message Off now also applied to direct key control sliders (Contrast/Black/Color/Hue). 7. Finer RGB gain/offset controls. 8. Fine Tuning of Reon PLL for SDI HD modes for less timing and alignment jitter. 720p50/60, 1080i 50/60 are now in spec. 1080p timing jitter in spec (alignment jitter improved). 9. Finer RGB gain/offset controls. -------------------------------------- From: PV6S_HQV500_210H-6962.brec To: PV6S_HQV500S_230C-7231.brec From: PV6S_HQV510_210H-6962.brec To: PV6S_HQV510_230C-7231.brec From: PV6S_HQV520_210H-6962.brec To: PV6S_HQV520_230C-7231.brec Release Date: 23.02.2011 Changes implemented are: 1. OSD reorganization. The Output menu items are collected under three sub menus: Display Type, Gamma/Color/Crush and Output Config. The Display Type menu is new. It has a Display item with selections of Projector and LED/Plasma. When LED/Plasma is selected the box reboots and the blend feature becomes unavailable, but makes the Flicker Filter available also in Multiple Unit configurations. 2. HQView-500 is discontinued. Instead the HQView-500S product line is introduced. HQView-500S compared to the former HQView-500 has no embedded warp. 3. Since HQView-500S has no warp menu the Location item formerly listed in the warp menu is now available through the Display Type menu. 4. Implemented alpha numeric fields in web pages. Thus, the web address can now be changed. User Name and Input Name can be changed as well through the web interface. 5. Test Pattern selection is now also through a menu item under System/Input Config. Thus, there is now a mechanism to select the individual test patterns through a web browser. 6. Added 1366x768b 50/60Hz modes from PVProHD to the VGA i/p table. Added VESA CVT 1440x900 50Hz, 1360x768 50Hz and 1680x1050Hz to the VGA i/p table. 7. Added the same 1366x768b modes to the o/p mode list. Added VESA CVT 50/60Hz 1440x900, 1360x768 and 1680x1050 to the output mode list. 8. Auto Mode to I/O Lock list added. In Auto Mode genlock is tried to be obtained. If no genlock signal is put into GENLOCK BNC then lock to the source is tried to be obtained. If that is not possible Free Run mode is set. If a genlock signal is attached during live operation this is recognized and genlock is tried to be obtained (again). 9. When switching from source I/O lock to free run last clock setting from PLL modulation was applied. This is now corrected to nominal clock for o/p mode. *************** * HQView-530 * *************** From: PV6S_HQV530_271E-8205.brec To: PV6S_HQV530_271F-8257.brec Release Date: 10.05.2012 Changes implemented are: 1. Improvements on LCD text abbreviations. 2. Unsupported Hardware Message implemented at power up, when Firmware not matching Hardware. 3. At start up the 1st LCD line sometimes was not written fully. This was fixed. 4. Scaling in TheaterScope Format implemented.
