    • Bugfix:
  • The following properties can be set to On or Off mode: /V1/MEDIA/VIDEO/O1.Output5VMode /V1/MEDIA/VIDEO/O2.Output5VMode Auto mode will be available in a future release.
  • Ethernet port P5 is counting TX Ethernet packets even if there is no connection. /MEDIA/ETHERNET/P5/COUNTERS.TxCounter Ethernet packet transmission on P5 is not affected by this issue. This Ethernet port works as expected other than the incorrect TX counter value.
  • If a USB Host without DisplayPort Alterante mode support is connected to one of the USB Type-C connectors, then the ActiveAltMode property erroneously reads as DP. /V1/MEDIA/USB/U1.ActiveAltMode=DP This issue causes Lightware Device Controller to erroneously display a yellow "DP" indicator on the port panel, which means the connection successfully entered DisplayPort Alterante mode. The following property describing the DisplayPort Alterante mode capability of the connected Host works as expected. /V1/MEDIA/USB/U1.HostSupportsDpAltMode=false USB and Displayport Data transmission is not affected.
  • An external control system using LW3 protocol subscribed to an HDMI output node OPEN /V1/MEDIA/VIDEO/O1 might not receive all CHG messages related to the presence of embedded audio on the output. For example if the video crosspoint switches beteen two sources: one with- and one without embedded audio, then the following CHG messages might be missing: CHG /V1/MEDIA/VIDEO/O1.EmbeddedAudioPresent=false CHG /V1/MEDIA/VIDEO/O1.EmbeddedAudioPresent=true Transmission of the embedded audio stream from input to output is unaffected. Muting the audio also works as expected.
