Argus Encoder Family Version 2.6 API Developer’s Guide
Microcode Directory Structure
Microcode Directory Structure
The IBM encoder microcode is loaded onto the encoder hardware at encode time.
The microcode is installed on machines in one of two folders:
C:\ etc \ 422
for the
3-chip encoder boards, and
C:\ etc \ S422
for the 1-chip boards. It must exist in the
correct sub-folder of
C:\ etc
in order to load.
The microcode files distributed with the Argus Encoder family API are:
Set 1: ME31 V1-FAST Studio Profile set:
• c:\ etc \ 422 \ H4_03.bin
• c:\ etc \ 422 \ I4_03.bin
• c:\ etc \ 422 \ f4_1e.bin
• c:\ etc \ 422 \ r2_19.bin
Set 2: S-Series microcode (S422 and S420 boards):
• c:\ etc \ S422 \ i5_0f.bin
• c:\ etc \ S422 \ e5_0f.bin
• c:\ etc \ S422 \ r3_0f.bin
The last two digits of the microcode file represent the version number of the
binary file. As IBM releases new microcode revisions for the ME31, S422, and
S420 encoder chipsets, the Argus encoder application will incorporate them.
The CineView Pro decoder also has microcode requirements. CinProSerCom.dll
uses the microcode files, installed during the CineView Pro installation process,
in the
C:\ Microcode
directory to initialize the CineView Pro hardware. For more
information on these files, refer to the CineView Pro product documentation.
Argus COM Components
The following COM objects, which comprise the API set, are distributed with the
standard Argus encoder application. These COM components are registered
automatically with each installation of the standard product.
Argus encoder COM components located in:
