FG4 MultiBox Firmware 3.0 Release Notes ======================================= Card Firmwares (FPDL v65 and GMSL v65): --------------------------------------- - Input frame dropping on data overflow. - Balanced dynamic memory access priority logic to prevent PCIe timeouts. - Output 2 configured for HBP stetch on data underflow as was Output 1 (FPDL). - Support for new Interface modules variants (GMSL). API --- NEW FEATURES: - MPEG-TS PTS has selectable timestamp type, either monotonic or stream. Until now, only monotonic type was possible. The newly introduced stream type starts its counting when the video pipeline begins to stream the data. - When video file writer gets running or video tcp session is created, it is now possible to force the video encoder to generate the key-frame. (This way, when the key-frame interval is configured to high number, the decoder doesn't have to wait for such a long time.) - When video file writer gets running or video tcp session is created, it is now possible to wait and to pass the key-frame as the first frame. (This way the decoder's first encountered frame will always be the key-frame.) - Support for GMSL module variants 2 and 3. - Limit number of concurrently existing TCP sessions for trigger, CAN capture, video muxer and image encoder servers. The limit is set to 8 per server. FIXES: - Fixed problem with wrong colors in both captured and outputted frames, when YUYV pixel format between FG4 PCIe card and FG4 box was selected. - Fixed possible unresponsive HTTP API in case of overloading by trigger sinks. Until now both HTTP API and trigger sink requests were serialized into one common queue. Now HTTP API has its own queue with higher priority. Web User Interface: ------------------- VIDEO INPUTS: Input Status: - Added units to the displayed detected values. - Swapped VBP and HFP value between columns. - Output Format renamed to Input Format. - Input Format now contanis pixel format settings. - Video Sinks File Writer and Server now cantains the Key frame settings. VIDEO OUTPUTS: - Added settings for output format (frame rate and pixel format). CAN: Capture: - The CAN filter modes (RTR, FD, EXT) now have the 'All' option. Previously, only yes/no was possible. - If all DATA and DATA MASK elements are deleted, every CAN message passes through the filter. Previously, all elements had to be set to 0 and the message length had to match. TIMERS: - Timer Periods values placed in boxes for clearer representation. FILE SYSTEMS: Firmware section: - The buttons "Create mgb4-flash" and "Create mgb4-keep" are no longer displayed in subdirectories. FIXES: - The Bit Rate Peak value can now be correctly set for the H.264 video sink encoder. - Fixed removing of multiple trigger sinks KNOWN ISSUES (WEB): - When adding a "Action" type of trigger sink afterwards, some values are not filled in. (It is possible to add them manually)
