 OPTIONS 

get- Returns the current volume value 
up- Increases the audio volume by one 
down- Decreases the audio volume by one

New Features & Functions

 

 

Initial Production Release 

Known Issues:

 

 

VU Meter Operation:   

The front panel VU audio meter is not properly working on this release.  Specifically, 

the VU scale does not have adequate resolution to be useful as visual indication of audio signal.  
Recommendation is to actively listen to USB Record channel to adjust audio level or use the Windows USB 
Record channel meter for visual indication of audio level.  This will be corrected on next release. 

 

 

 

EDID Compliant Input Source (Mac-Mini):   

The HDMI input does not support EDID forwarding at this time.  

If an EDID compliant device such as the Mac-Mini is used as the source input, no video will be decoded.  The 
recommended work around is to use a third party EDID manager (i.e. Extron) if this is required in the 
installation.  EDID support will be considered in future release. 

 

 

 

RGBHV Video Alignment-:  

A slight video alignment issue may be apparent when various PC are the source 

input to the RGBHV port.   The issue is the RGBHV presentation can vary between different PC graphics 
card.  Recommend correction to any alignment issues is to adjust alignment on the PC display as needed.  
Automatic alignment will be considered in future release. 

 

 

 

Mute Indication:  

The PC software may not properly display mute state of the AV Bridge when user initiates 

mute from front panel button.  This is due to limited support for mute notification from USB device to the Host 
PC operating system. This applies to both Window and Mac OS.  Mute activation from the Host PC will be 
represented accurately on the AV Bridge.

 

 

 

Auto Detection of RGBHV & YPbPr Inputs:  

The AV Bridge includes an auto detection scheme on the DB-

15 input that automatically synchronizes with either an RGBHV or YPbPr formatted source.  However, the 
detection scheme with 1280X720 can occasionally false between the two formats.  A work around is to 
specify the input source type ( RGBHV or YPbPr) in the A/V configuration web page or on the front panel. 

 

 

 

Power Failure during Configuration Change:  

A system lock up may occur if a power failure occurs when a 

user is changing the Video or Audio Input sources within the software.  This can cause a file corruption due to 
power failure prior to the write cycle committing the changes.  To recover from this lock up the user will need 
to perform factory default operation.
