Sound Devices PIX 250i Video Recorder Firmware 2.10 Description

New:

- User Bits Format - In previous versions of firmware, end users could customize the user bits with a four-field format, delineated by colons, such as UU:UU:UU:UU, where U represented a user-definable value. Often, the first three fields in the format would be manually reset daily using two-digit numerical values for the date, such as MM:DD:YY:UU. A new menu option in this version of firmware lets the user configure the unit to automatically populate the first three fields with values derived from the system’s date.
- Initial View - A new Setup Menu option Menu>System>Initial View, allows the user to select which screen appears after boot up. Three options are available Main View (Video), Audio View (Input Settings), or Audio View (Expanded Meters).
- Daily Folder Option - A new Setup Menu option Menu>FileStorage>Reel Format allows the user to select Custom (default) or Daily. The Custom option works as it has previously where the Reel can be edited with any alphanumeric value. Daily will automatically generate a value derived from the System Date. The Reel folder is named with the following format YYMMDD.

Changes:

- All PIXNet tabs, except Clips, remain open when going into record.
- The File Info screen uses a numerical spinner for editing the Take information instead of an on- screen, pop-up keyboard.
- User bits are now entered in hex format instead of decimal values.
- Reverting to a previous used scene name will now only recall the next take if the previous scene was recorded into the current Reel folder.

Fixed:

- Fixed incompatibility with some AVID workstations where AVID would report Hagrid Base Error when loading AMA Linked 250/260/270-generated DNxHD files.
- The PIX 250i is now more forgiving when mounting media with corruption. In some cases, depending on the level of corruption, the PIX would show drives as "No Fmt". A common cause of this sort of corruption was termination of the data connection during a write cycle when the drive was connected to a computer. Drives with this sort of corruption will now mount correctly but the corrupted file(s) may not playback correctly or the PIX 250i may report them as corrupted.
- Audio meter drawing issue where meters would freeze or display with gaps
- Audio Screen Gain and Delay value navigation was backwards when adjusting with attached USB Keyboard.
- PIXNet now displays a message when the connection to the PIX/970 Unit is terminated.
- PIXNet Gain Sliders now work correctly with computer’s keyboard arrow keys.
- PIXNet now properly displays Scene Increment changes when viewing File Storage Tab and Scene Increment is performed on the unit.
- QuickTime File Split Every no longer show as --- when updating from previous version of firmware.
- Inconsistent pop up qwerty keyboard cursor method.
- File List File Info screen can now be escaped with the left arrow of an attached keyboard.
- Pressing Play when the loaded file is no longer available will now produce a pop up "File doesn't exist. Please select another one." This occurs when the loaded playback file has been deleted, drive was removed, or the file was renamed from a computer.
- Various improvements and system enhancements for stability and usability.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
