----------------------------------------------------------

2. Features added in this release:

----------------------------------------------------------

== Previously released in v1.6.43 ==========================

- Added a watchdog for point to point setups.  In a telnet session,

  type "wdp2p on x.x.x.x" to enable.  The x.x.x.x is the ip address

  of the opposite device.  To disable, in a telnet session type "wdp2p off".

  A reboot is required after enabling or disabling the state

  for it to take effect.  Leave the RX and MFTX in static ip mode. 

  Once the devices ping each other the watchdog will be armed.

  If they fail to ping each other for 1 minute the watchdog will fire.

== Previously released in v1.6.40 ==========================

- Added a telnet command to allow the MFTX to present a

  DVI only EDID to the source.  This EDID will not include

  the extended EDID so it will not show support for AUDIO. 

 (This is useful in a POINT TO POINT setup when the sink )

 (on the RX is a DVI sink and you don't want the TX to   )

 (allow the source to embed audio. The mode does not have)

 (any use/effect when the downstream sink is HDMI.       )

 Note: A reboot is required after changing the DVI mode

       status in order for it to take effect.

Telnet Commands:

 > dvi             // To get DVI mode status

 > dvi on          // To enable DVI only mode

 > dvi off         // To disable DVI only mode (default)

 > wdurlsocket on  // Connection watchdog - Will improve online/offline

                   // when connected to a Master. Do not use

                   // if not configured to connect to a Master

 > wdurlsocket off // url connect watchdog - will disable wdurlsocket

                   // watchdog, default setting

- Added full A/V support for Analog Video precedence feature

  which allows Auto select mode to prioritize Analog video

  over Digital video inputs

ICSP Command:

 > VIDIN_AUTO_SELECT-ANALOG   

 Note: the other options are ENABLE (HDMI) or DISABLE

== Previously released in v1.6.29 ==========================

- Added an "Offline Recovery Mechanism." In a telnet session,

  type "WD ON" to enable or "WD OFF" to disable this feature.

  A reboot is required after enabling or disabling the state

  for it to take effect. This also monitors the following

  conditions, and when met it will reboot:

  - If it successfully connects to a Master and then falls

    offline for longer than 5 minutes.

  - A DXLink device processor becomes unstable and hangs

  - The DXLink device’s exceeds it's minimum memory threshold

----------------------------------------------------------

3. Fixes in this release:

----------------------------------------------------------

Fixes an issue where input video detection was taking a long time

with some sources.

== Previously released in v1.6.68 ==========================

Fixed random offline/online events.

Fixed a video flicker issue that would randomly occur with some PC's

== Previously released in v1.6.66 ==========================

- Fixed an issue where the MFTX could stay offline with the

  master after a network security scan.

== Previously released in v1.6.65 ==========================

- Added a mode to enable hdmi audio detection improvements

- telnet commands added

  hdmi audio check     - will return the status of on or off

  hdmi audio check on  - will set the mode on

  hdmi audio check off - will set the mode off

Note:  This mode will use internal recoveries for odd

audio detection scenarios such as when hdmi audio is not always

syncing properly.  If you do not observe random audio failures,

the default mode is off, and can be ignored.

== Previously released in v1.6.63 ==========================

Fixed audio input issue occurring randomly after a sleep/wake cycle

== Previously released in v1.6.61 ==========================

Fixed issue with DWP not coming online after upgrade to .60.

== Previously released in v1.6.60 ==========================

Fixed video issues with Intelix switchers in front of the MFTX.

== Previously released in v1.6.58 ==========================

Fixed an issue when using the IR port for one way serial at

9600 baud.  Sometimes the right characters did not transmit.

== Previously released in v1.6.57 ==========================

Improved audio input detection, specifically fixed scenarios

where no audio could be heard when video and audio were being

sent from an hdmi input source

== Previously released in v1.6.48 ==========================

- Fixed issue with AUDIN_FORMAT_AUTO-DISABLE not working correctly.

== Previously released in v1.6.46 ==========================

- Fixed an issue when using both digital and analog sources

  the audio would not always be correct when analog is set

  as the video priority.

== Previously released in v1.6.45 ==========================

- Fixed an issue where the MFTX would not come online with a

  master when using ICS lan only. 

== Previously released in v1.6.39 ==========================

ONLINE

- Fixed issue where an MFTX could generate multiple

  online/offline events during bootup of the system. This

  seemed to occur more frequently when the MFTX's are

  configured with static IP address.

- Improved the AMX master connection to reduce the number

  of offline events.

- Fixed an issue with the TCP 3-way handshake process.  This

  issue also caused offline events.

== Previously released in v1.6.33 ==========================

- Corrected an issue with Point to Point setups where a

  pink screen would display on display connected to an RX

  if the RX booted up prior to the MFTX

- Improved algorithm for HDMI input detection and recovery

  when the source video is not properly detected

== Previously released in v1.6.29 ==========================

- Fixed a video offset issue when viewing NTSC video.

- Implemented method to get stats from downstream device

- Improved robustness of video detection for noisy digital

  sources (aka. garbage video)

- Added steps to ensure video is evaluated and setup properly

- Improved recovery when video is not detected (like when

  a source wakes up from standby/sleep mode)

- Fixed a memory leak in ICSP that could negatively impact

  device's network stability

----------------------------------------------------------

4. Notable Points/Known Issues

----------------------------------------------------------

- The VIDIN_AUTO_SELECT-ANALOG mode is limited to detecting

  correct analog format. Testing still found some cases where

  it may still miss the HDMI input detection

- PLEASE READ the documentation in regard to the DIP

  switches located on the bottom of the Tx/Rx modules

  before attempting to connect to the network

--UPGRADING-----------------------------------------------

!! Important–Two loads of this kit MAY be required if   !!

!! upgrading from firmware earlier than v1.6.7          !!

!!                                                      !!

!! 1. Transfer kit v1.6.49 to the TX. If upgrading from !!

!!    a version earlier than 1.6.7, it will abort due to!!

!!    a memory error.  If so, proceed to step 2         !!

!!                                                      !!

!! 2. Reboot the TX (via telnet or power cycle) then    !!

!!    check the firmware versions in the Online Tree:   !!

!!                                                      !!

!!eg. 06002 - DXLINK-MFTX (v1.6.49)                     !!

!!      [OID=1] - MQX (v3.62)                           !!

!!      [OID=2] - DXLINK Boot (v1.6.4)                 !!

!!      [OID=3] - DXLINK App (v1.6.4)                  !!

!!      [OID=5] - DXLINK Link (3.0.6.0)                 !!

!!                                                      !!

!! 3. If the Link is still not up to date, then transfer!!

!!    kit v1.6.4 again to completele the transfer of   !!

!!    the final component. If the FW is up to date then !!

!!    no other kit transfers are required.              !!

==========================================================

- Special Process Consideration for applying upgrade to

  FG1010-300 only: For upgrading a DXLINK HDMI TX from 1.1.xx

  to this load, a "FACTORYAV" or a RESET FACTORY is needed

  once the load has booted.

- Special Process Consideration for Applying upgrade to

  FG1010-310, FG1010-320-BL, FG1010-320-WH: The default

  preferred resolution within the Analog Input (HD-15) EDID

  set in Firmware v. 1.6.8 is 1920x1080P, 60. 

  However if the previous firmware level was prior to 1.2.38,

  the previous EDID preferred resolution setting will continue

  to persist at 1920x1200,60. To move to the updated standard

  preferred resolution of 1920x1080P,60 one of the following

  steps must be taken:

    -Issue a "FACTORYAV" to the device

    -Issue a send command "VIDIN_PREF_EDID-1920X1080P,60" port 8

  To validate this setting, the following send command can be

  sent to port 8: ?VIDIN_PREF_EDID 

  Additional preferred resolutions may also be selected. 

  See user manual for preferred resolution selections.
