New Features
- Added new System Monitoring software to the 10G CBOX. This software will continuously check for a "pulse/heartbeat" of the web GUI services or the API server (port 24) for active communication. If communication fails 3 pulse checks, this monitoring software will automatically reboot the respective services, massively increasing long-term system stability/redundancy if a failure event occurs.
- Added HDCP Passthrough options for TCVR encoders and decoders. HDCP Request/HDCP Do not Request options on TCVR encoders have been added.
- Requires TCVR MCU firmware V1.45 or greater.
Added new API command: config get device routes [v,a,u,r,s] {DecoderID OR DecoderMAC OR ALLRX OR OUT1:OUT2:OUT3:OUTx}
Used to query the active routes (v = video, a = audio, u = USB, r = IR, s = RS-232) from a TCVR in decoder mode.
Added new API Command: config set device dspmode [0,1] {DeviceID/DeviceMAC/ALL/ALLTX/ALLRX}
0 == normal operation.
1 == adjusts the DSP operation mode for extracted audio processing. Adds a slight delay to processing if the audio format changes. Used to mitigate reported behavior where if audio remains in the same format state or is muted for an extended time duration, then the format suddenly changes, extracted audio does not pass.
Added new Ultralight Compression feature, optimizing bandwidth utilization for video/audio signals, particularly with 1080P content.
API Command: config set device compress [on,off] {EndpointID/EndpointMAC/ALL/ALLTX/ALLRX}
New Frame Rate Divider feature has been added for multiview
generation that will divide the active frames of a video signal in half,
reducing the amount of bandwidth a multiview stream will generate. Works best
with 60hz content.
Added API command: config set device cecla [on, off]
{EndpointID/EndpointMAC}
Adjusts the CEC Logical Address identifiers to ON, or OFF, for a device. Default is ON.
Added the ability to view the bandwidth utilization of a TCVR endpoint within the CONFIGURE page on MENTOR.
NOTE: This does NOT require a Switch Management connection to the CBOX in order to view.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
For improved system performance, built-in preview image captures on the AUTO-MATRIX page have been disabled by default. Previews can be quickly re-enabled by using the new slider option to enable/disable previews on the AUTO-MATRIX page, see below:
