5 Changes to this Release (3.16.18)
5.1 New features

 None
5.2 Issues Corrected

 TD1976 : Closed captions, 608 to 708 conversion not working with
captions on row 10 and 11.
5.3 Known Remaining Issues

 TD1957 BISS: MPEG2 HD not scrambled when SD and HD video PIDs
are the same.
 TD786 VBI : WSS carriage in PES is not frame accurate. PTS can be up
to 3 frames late relative to PCR. This issue is also present in all earlier
releases. This does not give a problem with the TT1260.
 TD827 VBI : VITC. "Auto" mode can sometimes fail to detect VITC on
both even and odd fields (ie. one or the other is detected). Manual line
selection works OK. This issue is also present in earlier releases.
 TD838 UI : ASI optical card is shown as always valid on the web browser.
This issue is also present in earlier releases.
 TD885 UI: Encoder does not respond correctly to the Firefox web
browser. This issue is also present in earlier releases.
 TD920 VBI: VITC carriage in PES is not always frame accurate in IP

coding mode. Can be up to 5 frames out. This issue is also present in
earlier releases.
 TD940 UI & TS : Real time clock (which provides Time-Of-Day) can drift
by a few minutes a day when unit is continuously power cycled (i.e. every
few minutes). Note, however, Bug#848 is fixed as detailed below.
 TD973 MEM Control: When switching an encoder into HD mode (that has
been in SD since power-up), lipsync will remain inaccurate for up to
15seconds longer than the usual switching time. This is also an issue in
earlier releases.
 TD984 MEM Control: Going straight from an HD Reflex to SD CBR config

does not set the SD bitrate properly. Workaround is to use an SD reflex
config with equal min and max bitrates.

E57xx Encoder
 TD1018 HD OSD: A logo can take a long time to be processed by the

encoder (of the order of 1 minute). During this time commands from the
OSD PC application are ignored and there is no indication that processing
has not finished on the user interface.
 TD1022 HD HD-SDI embedded Audio: Linear PCM via sample rate

converter has very faint glitches and is not a valid coding mode. Note: this
is only a problem with HD-SDI embedded audio.
 TD1029 HD OSD: If a logo is downloaded in HD mode and the encoder is

subsequently switched to SD, the logo will display in the wrong location
with the wrong size. It must be manually turned off in the menu.
 TD1115 HD Video Web Interface: Changing the video format via the web
browser can cause the audio source to change from HD-SDI to SD-SDI.
This is an intermittent problem.
 TD1126 Audio AC3: When "Audio alignment" is set to "Aligned", the audio
may be delayed up to 1 video frame with respect to the video.
 TD1143 Remux: if the service on a remux input, where the incoming

stream in an SPTS, is removed (i.e. the incoming ASI contains just NULL
packets), the service list on the "Mux" menu is not updated i.e. it still
shows the service as present.
 TD1144 ASI optical output: this does not switch off when "OP Video Loss"
is set to "No ASI O/P" and video is lost.
 TD1275 Voyager, modulator output: Repeatedly changing the power

output very quickly via front panel whilst modulation is "on" can cause a
"mod config update" alarm. Workaround is to allow time between changes
or use one of the other user interfaces. This is also present in earlier
releases.
 TD1276 IRD: When using the M2/EOM2/SATDEMOD demod card, the

"Internal TS" setting does not route the internal encoder TS to the
decoder as it should. The decoder input remains unlocked when this is
selected. This is also present in earlier releases.
 TD1305 RS232 remote control: When the "Serial Menu Remote Control"
is set to ""RS232 Remote Control Port" (i.e. this port is configured for
menu control rather than RCP control), RCP commands should not be
sent to this port as the encoder may behave unpredictably.
 TD1334 HD Video, web page thumbnail of current video: This only

updates when the front panel lcd monitor is showing the video i.e. fails if
the lcd monitor is displaying some other menu.

E57xx Encoder
 TD1335 HD Audio: L-PCM (both direct and via SRC) "aligned" & Dolby E
"aligned" (i.e. SMPTE302m compliant): Maximum video bitrate is limited
in some 720p modes as shown in the table (1080i modes are not
affected). The UI allows a setting of up to 90MBit/s but if the bitrates
shown below are exceeded, there may be no alarms raised but lipsync
and complete audio dropout can occur. Note that "lipsync offset" of -1
means that the audio is delayed one frame less w.r.t. the video. Also note
that Dolby is already delayed one frame less to compensate for the Dolby
E encoder delay. See Ref Guide for more details.

E57xx Encoder
 TD1345 HD Remux: With encoders fitted with a remux card, the bitrate of
any individual video component should not exceed 50MBit/s. This
includes the host encoder video component and any video components
feeding the remux card. Each "data" component feeding the remux
should also not exceed 50MBit/s. If this rate is exceeded, glitches can
occur on all services at the encoder ASI output. This is an issue in 3.8.2,
3.9.0, 3.9.1 builds.
 TD1399 IP Splitting: In VBR mode the reported bit rate is incorrect if the
TS contains a video component.
 TD1412 LPCM on AAC option: When video Bitrate tracking is active, if a

Linear PCM audio is activated the bitrate of the video component is not
reduced to compensate.
 TD1426 The HD SDI de-embedder is not locked to the incoming video

frame, therefore it is possible for different aligned audio channels to be
de-embedded on different video frames. This causes an error when in
multiple channel audio modes.
 TD1436* RS232 data: Motorola format 'lock' indication stays set even
when data input has ceased.
 TD1504 Chroma levels on certain lines are reduced on HD encoder.

1080i/25 lines 1121, 1122 and 720p/60 lines 744 and 745.
 TD1536 Encoder locks up, when Audio coding standard is set to LPCM,
video is set to HD SDI and an incorrect video line standard and audio IP
is applied.
 TD1547 1080pSF/24Hz, 1080pSF/23.96, 1080pSF/25Hz video corruption

when HD Noise Reduction is turned on.
 TD1552 4:2:2P@HL Profile causing Video Distortion under 576p/50Hz

encoding resolution.
 TD1806 The Remux card has to be turned on before the option module
can be upgraded via the encoder.
 TD1911 Video data corruption occurs when 3:2 pulldown and Closed
Captions are enabled with the encoder set to encode HD720p5994 video
standard.
 TD1929 When the Encoder input is configured to “Autosense” certain

inputs formats may cause the encoder may raise a Bad Parameters alarm
and stop producing video PID stream. It is suggested that Autosense is
not used.

E57xx Encoder
6 Changes in Previous Releases
6.1 Version 3_16_17
6.1.1 New features

 None
6.1.2 Issues Corrected
 TD1972 : Teletext sync turned off by navigating to tcf view of web GUI.
 TD1973: Teletext sync switched off by nCC after a reboot.
 TD1974: Closed captions, 608 to 708 conversion not working correctly on

some sources.
6.2 Version 3_16_16
6.2.1 New features

 None
 The original defect description is when the bitrate on the E4 goes to near
zero, it causes the E4 to crash. A fix was done to monitor this state and
reboot the E4 on the HDVCM in the motherboard code. This has come
back from the customer as an in sufficient fix and now the recovery
mechanism will be a unit reset.
6.3 Version 3_16_15
6.3.1 New features

 None

E57xx Encoder
 TD1970 BISS E fails if the codes are entered in the web browsers.
 TD 1971 When SUIRG carrier ID is enabled, the transport descriptor

length in the NIT is wrong.
 EN5782 encoder with nCC in device profile, as a spare would alarm for
input loss for HD SDI input constantly.
6.4 Version 3_16_14
6.4.1 New features

 None
 Make remux include audio pid to service when 8 dvb streams are
included.
 Masking PCR Error Alarm and Repeated PCR Resync on SD video

Encoder when encoding HD.
6.5 Version 3_16_13
6.5.1 New features

 None
 TD1959: Loss of contact with encoder, after redundancy switch. Main

encoder is active, remove the ethernet cable from the main DPIC, do
manual redundancy switch over from main encoder to backup encoder,
plug back the ethernet cable to the main encoder DPIC, backup encoder
stops responding.
 TD1962: When video bitrate is set to a value less than 60MB at standard
delay unable to set the lipsync adjustment of -1 on the webpage.
 TD1965: Redundant control network not working correctly due to no

gratuitous ARPs and slow NTP poll interval.

E57xx Encoder
 TD1968: HD alarm ID mismatch with what is expected on nCC.
6.6 Version 3_16_12
6.6.1 New features

 None
 TD1949 Audio for Radio services not set to on when switching from main
to spare Encoder (OK after Re-apply of configuration).
 TD 1961: Errors encountered when compiling SNMP MIBs.
 TD 1518: Reflex is not correctly disabled on encoder. In a system which

uses an ASI switch before the MUX, nCC switches an encoder in and out
of reflex instead of the MUX (as it would do normally). nCC was unable
to disable the stat mux, this was fixed for nCC to only disable the stat
mux.
6.7 Version 3_16_11
6.7.1 New features

 None.

 TD1956 AFD code randomly changes to 0 'undefined' when receiving a
valid VANC AFD source.
 When remote control configured for HPA module control the remote
connection does not work for baudrate 9600 in RS485.
6.8 Version 3_16_10
6.8.1 New features

 None.

E57xx Encoder

 Defect TD2889, fix ported from Enc8xxx. When DPIC 1 connects to the
encoder, it works OK. If DPIC 1 connection is still active and DPIC 2
connects to the same encoder - only second connection works. Since it is
not using the 1st connection any more, encoder should close it.
 Splice Null SCTE35 packets should be populated to maintain a constant
bit rate for Multipin.
6.9 Version 3_16_9
6.9.1 New features

 HDVCM Monitoring. This feature monitors the HDVCM output and will
raise a FAIL alarm and reset the HDVCM if it is detected that it has
stopped. The behaviour is disable by default and can be enabled through
the telnet interface (Mux, 2nd page, HDVCM Monitoring).
 Now also locks to16 bit Dolby-E pass through, transport stream format
will still be 20 bit.

 TD1954 : HDVCM Crashes. Monitoring has been implemented so that an
alarm will be raised and the HDVCM reset if it is detected that it has
stopped.
 Offsetting PTS transfer delay for 720p and Dolby-E and LPCM to
maintain lip-sync at high video bit rates.
 TD1952 - SCTE35 PID not present on remux output when coding HD
Video. There are a number of places in the code where the splice
settings are retrieved from the current coding VCM. This will not work
when coding HD - the splice settings should always be retrieved from the
SDVCM parameter set since this is where they are stored. One of these
places is in the remux motherboard service builder which causes this. PID
is present when remux is disabled.
 DVB Subtitle remux improvements. Properly support 8 streams now,
couldn’t turn on 8 streams despite menu option allows it. Remux slots
would be reserved for audio and some other PIDs despite not being used,
which meant that the full number of slots may not be usable for other
purposes.

E57xx Encoder
6.10 Version 3_16_8
6.10.1 New features

 Added the ability to REMUX 8 DVB Subtitles streams.

 TD1894 It is not possible to set the User Defined Value for the Aspect
Ratio which is used to fall back to when the input VBI \ VANC source is
no longer present.
 With certain source material the incoming VANC data becomes
corrupted causing the HD VCM to crash.
6.11 Version 3_16_7
6.11.1 New features

 Enabled ‘Autonomous’ mode on the output of the GIGE IP option module.

 None.
6.12 Version 3_16_6
6.12.1 New features

 None.

 TD1930 PMT version updates incorrectly on Loss of Audio B when OP on
Loss is set to ‘No PID’. The component remains referenced in the PMT
but the version number updates on loss and re acquisition of audio.
 TD1932 EN5780 reverts to wrong HD Input Format when switching
between an SD and HD service.
 Changing any settings on the HD video module on the webpage causes
the HD Input format to change after the encoder is power cycled.
 Next SNMP commands for BISS do not set the parameters
correctly.

E57xx Encoder
6.13 Version 3_16_5
6.13.1 New features

 SUIRG Carrier Id descriptor added to the NIT.

 Corrected SNMP Control for BISS and CA to reflect telnet and web
options.
 Fix to stop the MEM resetting the VBI descriptor coding from “user
defined” to “legacy” when performing a redundancy switch were the VBI
PID is changed.
 Display the licences for the E5775 encoder on the web page.
 TD1904 Changes to how XML modules are loaded.
 TD1913 Web browsing encoder causes "Comms Error" alarms for
DIPNIC.
 TD1925 Teletext sync state is changed to ON after power cycling.
 TD1916 Encoder does not respond correctly to the Bar Data Exclusion
set command sent by nCC.
 TD1905 RAI and Splice Point Flag values are now set to 1 after an Out Of
Network trigger.
 TD1871 Encoder does not lock to the Time code in the incoming HD-SDI
video.
 TD1914 AFD extraction fails if closed captions extraction is turned off.
 TD1923 Video Resolution is not set when performing a
redundancy switch to an HD profile when using a E5780 as an
SD & HD Spare.
6.14 Version 3_16_4
6.14.1 New features

 Added a new Closed Caption Extraction Timing setting, to allow the
extraction of closed captions from a 525 video source with the Closed
Captions inserted at a 625 line rate.

 TD1906 Fix to stop the encoder switching from “Fixed” to “Variable”
length PES packetisation during a redundancy switch when VBI PID is
equal to the TeleText PID.

E57xx Encoder
 TD1899 When Audio B is set to “NO PID” on loss of input, and the audio
input is removed a large numbers of PMT updates occur on the output
Transport Stream.
 TD1900 When the video is set to 'NO PID' on loss of input, and the input
video is removed a duplicate video reference appears in the PMT.
 Improved Error reporting from the E5 Multipass option module
so that false alarms are not raised.
6.15 Version 3_16_3
6.15.1 New features

 Ericsson Re-Branding.
 Modication to control interface to prevent Multiplex Element Manager
(MEM) from changing the TXT Data Unit Length to Variable when set at

E57xx Encoder
6.17 Version 3_16_1

6.17.1 New Features
 Sky Audio Descriptor Changes. Allows for upper case characters when in
Sky mode (not ISO 639).

 TD1880 AC3 interruption/corruption fails audio PID output on EN5780
permanently.
 TD1882: False alarm - MUX bit rate too low when symbol rate set below
4.5Meg.
 TD1869: VideonextTimeDate OID value change after encoder reboot
causes resolution in HDVCM to be set incorrectly.
 Changes to DIPNIC code to continue to send ARP messages if no
connection is immediately made.
6.18 Version 3_16_0

The changes listed here are compared to the previously released software.
6.18.1 New Features

 E5780 VANC Data Piping of frame aligned time code (VITC and LTC)
information as per SMPTE 2038.
 Implemented the ability to use different Teletext and VBI descriptors to
support interoperability with some third party decoders.
 The amount of time to load a stored Configuration has been improved.
 MPEG4 Descriptors are now recognised and correctly reported on Remux
option module.
 The unit version number can now be read via SNMP.
 GigaSat High Power Limit is now stored as part of the saved encoder
presets.
 GigaSat Frequency settings is now stored as part of the saved encoder
presets.
 Implemented the ability to tune the GigaSat OFDM Modulator by Channel
Number or frequency.
 Implemented the ability to remove any incoming BAR data if present from
VANC packets containing SMPTE 2016 AFD / BAR data.
 Insertion of encoder generated WSS-AFD data into PES.
6.18.2 Faults Corrected

 Alarm IDs < 1000 are no longer allowed to ensure compatibility with nCC.

E57xx Encoder
 When nCC selects WSS on line 23, ensure both current and next value
for seperate WSS control is set to avoid a glitch when setting
vidpreNextTimeDate while using WSS in "use afd" mode.
 TD1861 - Addition of seconds onto a time code via the web interface now

This version was not released for general production.
6.26.1 New Features

 SCTE 104 DPI messaging and control via HD SDI VANC data messages
in accordance to SMPTE RP2010.
 AFD and Bar data via HD and SD SDI VANC in accordance to SMPTE
2016. AFD data is extracted and formatted as per DTG/DVB and
A/53:2007 part 4. Bar data is inserted as an extension to the existing
ATSC user data format.
 Brandnet Data, ABC proprietary waveform for transmitting data to their
affiliates.
 It is possible to add components of the following Stream Types to the
incoming PMT
 RS232 Data
 RS422 Data
 TeleText
 VBI – Closed Captions
 Private Data
 SCTE27 Subtitles
Note. When components being added to the stream require a PTS
value, it shall be the responsibility of the equipment providing
the stream to ensure that the PTS values are synchronised to
the rest of the stream.
 The encoder shall not check to see if the new components are present or
if the new PID’s of the components are correct.
 The ability to add an Advanced Audio Option module to slot 1 of both 1U
and 2U SD E57xx encoders.

 HPA software module is no longer shown as a hardware module in slot 6.

B40 specification. A software switch is available to support the old format.

E57xx Encoder
 TD1586 Video User Data reserved fields are set to '0x00' instead of
'0xFF'
 If the MPEG Version for an audio channel has been previously set to
MPEG1 the descriptor for the Dolby-E is signalled as 0x03 “MPEG1”
audio in the PMT and not as Dolby-E.
 TD1693: GPI pins are labelled differently in scte35/scte35 multi pin
menu's
 Modulator ASI Inputs should now be selectable when SATMOD3
hardware is installed.
 TD1679: When the encoder is running in multi-pass mode, a 15Mb/s
stream identified as 'unknown' on PID 4095 is produced.
 Added small buffer mode to allow mega low delay and low delay to be Lip
Synced to the Video for correctly operate for a limit set of configurations.
Note: The audio delay has been reduced which means the output stream
fails audio buffer compliance but does not does not glitch on the TT1260.
