Sound Devices PIX 240i Video Recorder Firmware 3.50 Description

New Features:

- Added option for long duration event recording with no file splits - Splits Disabled (10 Hours Max).
- Added automatic file recovery in the event of total power loss during recording. Maximum last 30 seconds lost.
- Added support for Canon C300 3:2 pull down mode.
- Added options for displaying thinner audio meters in various parts of the main screen (top, left, bottom, right) so that more of the video image can be seen.
- Added Record/Playback of camera movement/tracking data via HD-SDI including camera position, pan, tilt, roll, focus distance. Supports SMPTE S315M metadata specification.
- Added support for Source Identification (SID) metadata to enable large scale productions to identify source video streams. This SID metadata is transmitted in the SDI stream ancillary data space as defined in SMPTE 291M from devices such as the Alpermann+Velte Rubidium Series. The PIX 240i extracts and records this SID metadata into the QuickTime file structure so that it can be played back from the PIX 240i's SDI output. Note: This enhanced metadata support has required changes to the QuickTime structure.
- Added 24h Run time code mode which automatically loads the time of day into the accurate time code generator. Saves having to jam TOD manually.
- Added Free Run Auto Mute and 24h Run Auto Mute time code modes. The 'Auto Mute' modes are the same as the Free run and 24h modes, but mute the LTC timecode output when stopped. This can be used to roll external devices when Rec run time code is not suitable e.g. multi-cam shoots.
- Added new Ext TC (LTC Halt) mode. If unit is set to record trigger from rolling time code then the unit will now stop if the incoming signal disappears. This is useful when triggering from devices that do not output stationary code when stopped.
- Added support for wireless mini USB keyboard remote control, Rii, RT-MWK01.

Changes:

- DNxHD codec optimizations for even greater image detail.
- Now loads the last recorded take after power up.
- IMPORTANT CHANGES introduced in firmware 3.50 prevents files recorded on firmware revision 3.50 or higher from playing back on PIX recorders running firmware earlier than 3.50.

Fixes:

- Random speckle artifacts when doing a PsF to P conversion with high motion material.
- Non-seamless audio at file splits.
- USB keyboard Lock Ups.
- Rare issue where certain ProRes files would flash during playback.
- 'Interlacy' playback of PsF files when no SDI video input connected.
- Random, occasional SDI time code offsets.
- Random 'No input signal detected' messages when pressing record.
- Potential ExFAT corruption ('No Fmt') after going full.
- Issue where deleting the first file of a multi-file take removes the take from the file list.
- Various AV sync issues.

  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.
