6.2 Fixed issues

• HBR: PTP will now resynchronize if master has large clock steps

• H264 Decoder: Fixed an issue where the decoder would not handle that the initial sliceQP was negative.

6.3 Known issues and limitations

6.3.1 OS / General

• The reference sync input might incorrectly report sync loss in the alarm log. Note thatthis will not affect outputs locked to this reference sync.

• Media over IP channel ping follows the management routing table, so in order to use thisfeature, the management routing table needs to be configured accordingly.

• Deleting BISS descramblers might affect behaviour of IP-RX or BISS descramblers that aresubsequently created. Reset unit to solve issue.

• Requires flash player version 11.1

• The video input switch does not handle the following when in use by the Encoder: Delet-ing the switch, disabling the inputs, removing all inputs, or disabling the switch.

Release 2.8.56 12


• For HD formats, ancillary data is only extracted from the luma channel.

• Missing configuration of IP RX parameters, causing issues if the user configures the sameIP RX parameters on several channels.

• 10GE DA cables above 1m might experience Ethernet CRC errors the HBR card.

• BISS1 descrambling is limited to 100mbps per unit.

6.3.2 TS processing

• Only 188 bytes TS packets are supported on ASI outputs on ASI Boards.

6.3.3 Uncompressed transport of video and audio

• Audio-IP only supported for AES67 environment with PTP (adaptive clock recovery akafree run not yet supported).

• Audio-IP input does not support streams where the stream has a combination of sampledepth, packet period and channel count per stream that gives IP packets that are shorterthan 100 bytes.

6.3.4 H.264

• BISS1 Scrambling is limited to 80Mbps per Encoder.

• Low latency encoding is supported for the following formats: SD, 1080i50/59.94 and720p50/59.94

• Some customconfigurations that are possible to set on the encoderwill not take effect/producea valid output.

• If the encoder is in “Freeze Frame” encoding mode and the SDI input switches to a signalwith a very different phase/frequency, the encoder might introduce an small A/V syncoffset for a short period of time. This issue can be mitigated by configuring the option“Resync condition” to “Low delay resync” (the option is located in the encoder advancedtab).

• The combination of AVC-I with the low latency encoding mode may cause A/V syncissues and image artifacts.

• Changing the bitrate on the encoder in large steps might result in reduced video quality.Disable and enable the encoder if this happens.

• Using signal loss mode on the encoder combined with audio format “AC-3”, might resultin audio issues after input signal is lost and re-established.

• Decoding audio streamswith bitrates<= 96kbps can lead to distortionswhenusing 100mslatency option. Change mode to 300ms.

• XMUX Video and Audio Processing (new media function)

• Flexible source selection for SDI outputs and encoders for JPEG 2000.

• Added audio matrix/embedder functionality on SDI outputs for JPEG 2000.

• Added video monitoring capabilities for JPEG 2000 and H264/AVC.

• AES-128 decryption output is now selectable as source to a TS Input Switch.

• Added support for Tunable DWDM 10GE SFPs.

12.3 Fixed issues

• Improved stability for TSoIP inputs and outputs.

• Fixes for very low bitrate TSoIP inputs.

• Fixes various issues when DVB-S/S2 demodulator was used as source for TSoIP outputsand H264/AVC decoders.

• Fixed errors and improved PCR jitter for ASI module inputs/outputs.

• Support higher bitrates for ASI input/output module.

Release 2.4.14 28


• Fixed an issue where only 188 of 204 bytes TS packets would get passed to ASI outputson main board (M.1-M.4).

• Fixed issue where unit could reset if receiving BOOTP packets.

• Fixed issue with bitrate calculations when processing 204 byte TS packets.


12.4.1 OS / General






• The output of the video switch for Uncompressed Video over IP will show internal testpicture, instead of freeze frame, when switching between two sources.

• For HD formats, ancillary data is only extracted from the luma channel..

• 10G DA cables above 1m might experience Ethernet CRC errors the HBR card




• Audio-IP only supported for AES67 environment with PTP no adaptive rate recovery.

• Audio-IP only supported 24 bit sample depth, and packet sizes 3 and 6 samples per packetare not supported.

• Video-IP in only supported in facility networks with RX buffer below 45 ms and lowerSIPS differential latency.

• No protection against configuring same IP RX parameters on several channels, leading toonly one of them working.
