DirectOut RAVENNA Module Firmware ReadMe/Changelog, 2020-07-10 for MONTONE.42 and PRODUCER.COM with RAVENNA Module


Version HW 4.2 / SW 4.27
************************
New Feature:

Version HW 4.2 / SW 4.25
************************
New Feature:

- Improved behavior for redundant PTP handling -> Grandmaster change not only on complete loss of the Grandmaster but also if e.g. the clock class changes

Bugfixes

- corrected MIME-types in user interface
- improved SDP parsing for SDPs for redundant streams


************************
Version HW 4.5 / SW 4.22

New Features:

- PTP Hybrid Mode added (Unicast Delay Requests)

Bugfixes

- improved TCP filter to avoid Denial-of-Service attacks
- fixed a bug in password lock mechanism
- improved RTSP parser for better compatibility with 3rd party implementations

************************
Version HW 4.5 / SW 4.18

New:
- Support of SMPTE ST 2110-31 (AES3 Transparent Transport) with two transparency modes (CUVP and full transparency), requires Main Frame FPGA Firmware 2.4/2.0
- SDP retrieval via HTTP (Example: http://192.168.0.1/sdp.htm?ID=1 displays SDP information for Stream no. 1). The SDP information is also displayed in the Stream configuration dialog.
- Network traffic display, shows current Datarate on RX/TX network port.
- New Icon (Pause) for pre-configured Backup Streams

Bugfixes:
- improved TCP stack to cope with ECN flags
- improved IGMP LEAVE handling for redundant streams that are connected to one port
- possible CRC-Errors in combination with Cisco Nexus switches <- fixed
- "Time Stamp out of Bounds" message could show wrong values <- fixed


************************
Version HW 4.2 / SW 4.11

New Features

* Stream Status display for error "RTP timestamp out of bounds"

Bugfixes

* 2nd Source-IP-Address for SSM could not be configured manually <- fixed
* IGMP v3 SSM did not work correctly during backup stream switch-over <- fixed
* IGMP v2Group Specific Query was not answered <- fixed
* SDP Error Messages were not always displayed correctly <- fixed
* Single-Port configuration did not work correctly with redundant SDP <- fixed
* DNS Domain starting with a number were not working correctly <- fixed


***********************
Version HW 4.2 / SW 4.7

New Features

* #52 Backup Stream configurable with customizable timeout
* #56 Web UI surface update when changes are applied by other instances (other browsers, external control commands)
* #67 Central Stream active/inactive switch button to toggle stream state of all streams at once for Input and Output Streams
* #68 MDNS and SAP protocol announcements can be de-activated (RX and TX)
* #73 PTP Media Profile is now factory default setting
* #90 Stream Input Names can now be user-defined
* #91 improved display of PTP settings: PTP settings of pre-defined profiles are now displayed below, settings that do not apply for the current configuration state are greyed out
* #99 Information on Password rules added to Password settings dialog
* #102 RTSP URL Info display improved
* Error message next to Jitter measurement if delay requests are not being answered by Grandmaster
* Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) support for IGMP v3, v2 and v1 added (SSM via protocol only in IGMP v3, SSM via internal filtering is applied for IGMP v2 and v1)
* General Performance improvements

Bugfixes

* #59 PTP clock domain was not taken from SDP but always from the customized profile setting <- fixed
* #105 Rogue SAP Deletion messages when redundant streams were configured <- fixed


***********************
Version HW 3.6 SW 3.19

- Network interfaces can be separately configured (IP/MAC/Gateway)
- Streaming and control can be assigned to a certain network interface
- Redundant audio streaming according to ST2022-7
- Many other little improvements

Please see the comprehensive Release Note document for changes in this update.


***********************
Version HW 2.7 SW 2.23

New Feature
- Multiple subscriptions of the same Multicast-Stream allowed

Bugfix
- Payload size did not match the value in stream configuration <- fixed


***********************
Version HW 2.6 SW 2.20

New Features
- re-designed user interface based on html and java-script (no JAVA needed anymore!)
- Gateway Support for dynamic and static IP addresses
- Current Grandmaster ID (GMID) is now displayed in the status window
- pre-defined PTP profiles for "default profile" and "media profile"
- password protection to prevent UI from accidential changes


***********************
Version HW 2.3 SW 2.9

Fixes
- Factory Default: DSCP values for PTP, RTCP and RTP were not set correctly by factory default reset <- fixed


***********************
Version HW 2.3 SW 2.8

Fixes
- Setting: Non-PTP Switch 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s restored correctly after power cycle


***********************
Version HW 2.3 SW 2.7

Fixes
- Corrections in the gui

***********************
Version HW 2.3 SW 2.6

New Features
- 32 streams
- SAP protocol support for AES67 connection to Dante devices
- Streams can be labelled with individual names

Changes
- RTSP connections are supported even with devices that do not provide fully implementation of RTSP
- Several improvements of the JAVA applet

Fixes
- Fixed bug that could lead to bad PTP performance with Cisco switches
- RTP packets with extension header were not handled correctly

** NOTE: MONTONE.42 requires main frame firmware 1.8/1.9**

Version HW 1.21 SW 1.25 

Fixes
- PTP time stamping corrected
- SDP format changed
