As an effect, the "Contrast" slider would not be enabled in the GUI as expected. - Fixed bug #832 In the GUI of PVD3010, the external AES connections would be shown as "enabled" if only option P_VD_MXDX was active. In fact, the external AES connections are active only on option P_VD_AP. The display in the GUI has now been adapted accordingly. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up.

In the GUI of CAD3320/PMX3312 (Audio AD-Converter), an overload situation on audio input channel 2 would be displayed in the context of channel 1. A missing external reference (CAD3320 only) would be displayed as "overload channel 2" ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.4.3 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.5.0 (build 173, 21.Jun.2006) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - Added User Interface for SVD5412 (ASI Change Over Switch) - Completely rebuilt the Analog Deembedder GUI (Products PDX3010, CDX5024, CDX5624) for more intuitive user interaction and clearer presentation of device capabilities. - Store Backup-Data in an installation independent location, so that they do not get lost on a de-/re- installation of the software. All Backup-Data is now stored in a directory similar to C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\Lynx\c3_local\device_backup (exact directory names depend on MS-Windows language settings) - re-formatted the Logfile-entries about device-specific events to describe the reporting device (name and position) as human readable text. ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #760: Restore a Backup-Set into multiple MiniModules fails with timeout. When restoring a Backup-Set spawning multiple MiniModules (in a RFR3010, requires SW-license RSL_BR20 or RSL_BR30), then a certain percentage of Device-Items would always end up in a "restore failed on timeout" state. - Fixed bug #762: In the GUI of the DAD5220, the individual input channel status indication was always green ("present"), even if no input signal was connected at all. This was a pure presentation issue. The master-LED (module and GUI) was correct at all times. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.4.3 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.4.3 (build 172, 05.Jun.2006) ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - In the GUI of the CDX5624: correctly support switching to "S-Video" on the analog video output. - Fixed bug: On relatively slow machines, removing a Device immediatley after it had just been detected by the system could lead to a situation where the device was never removed from the system. This has been fixed now. - Fixed bug: Under very rare circumstances it could happen, that a device is not shown in the tree-graph although it has correctly been detected (as can be seen in the logfiles). This was a bug in the presentation logic. Fixed now. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.4.1 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.4.2 (build 171, 31.May.2006) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - In the GUI of the CDX5624: added controls for ColorSpace-Conversion modes. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.4.1 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.4.1 (build 170, 29.May.2006) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - Significantly reduce network traffic and server CPU load when logging into a remote server (RCT5030). This improvement is only available when client and server are both using version 3.4.1 (or above). ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed PTG3610 (Testor) GUI: The PTG3610 (Testor) GUI was not always showing the correct list of available patterns/sequences, especially when multiple such modules were in the system. Also: the Sync/Video delay was not displayed reliably. - Fixed bug #754: DVD5420: Master LED in GUI sometimes not correct. The Master LED color of a DVD5420 in the GUI/RCP5000 is sometimes not correct (according to master LED on the module) - Fixed connection bug: when a server was restarted (e.g. because it was being re-configured) while a client was just logging in, the client (here: c3-local) would appear to be locked for a long time (depending on number of devices at that server), before resuming normal operation. Now the client returns to the "disconnected" state within very short time, as expected. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.4.0 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.4.0 (build 167, 20.Apr.2006) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - Added User Interface for CDX5624 (Multi-Format DownConverter with Analog Audio/Video output) - Significant speed-up of the loading of all pattern/sequence names in a system with multiple units of type PTG3610 (Testor). ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #739: application terminates on assertion-failure when hitting the RETURN key twice (and very quickly, i.e. within 200 ms) in certain (very few) textual entry fields. - Fixed the internal ftp client to properly close the connection before disconnecting from the server. - Fixed issue in the VideoADC-GUIs: The "Y-shaping filter" selection would be displayed as "unknown" as long as there is no valid input signal. With this fix, setting the "Test pattern Standard" to "525"/"625" works around this inconvenience. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.4.0 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.3.5 (build 166, 07.Apr.2006) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - Added User Interface for PTG3610 (Testor) (Multi-Format Testsignal Generator with AES) ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #721: PVD5005G: Factory Reset disables input selection Setting the PVD5005G to "factory reset" while GUI is open would disable the "Input Selection" switch. It can be re-enabled by (re)setting the "GPI Influence" switch to "none". - Fixed bug #722: PVD50xx: Layout problem on "Expert" page. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.3.0 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.3.1 (build 162, 16.Mar.2006) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - The Backup of the "local COM ports" node also contains the user defined device-names of all hosted devices. - In the Backup UI, the context-sensitive popup-menu (right-click on an item in the device-tree) offers a new "Backup-Details" window with additional info about the BackupData for this device. ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #712: Backup sometimes not complete A Backup of one of the following device types would sometimes not be complete. This applies to devices CAD5121, CAD5122, PVD5010, CAD5135, CMX5110. - Fixed bug #715: GUI of PDX3010 did not allow selection of all video standards. I.e. "RGB" and "YUV" were missing from the selection. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.3.0 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.3.0 (build 161, 03.Mar.2006) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - Added User Interface for DVD5000 (Single channel SDI Distribution Amplifier) - Added User Interface for DVD5010 (Single channel SDI Distribution Amplifier w/ reclocking) ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #698: GUI tree sometimes does not show existing boards. Loading the tree of devices in the GUI could sometimes leave individual slots empty, while there is an actual device present at the associated position. This would affect single slots as well as groups of slots. - Fixed bug #708: Removing the RFR5011 from the system will not remove textual info from the GUI. - Fixed bug #709: Starting GUI on CDA5010 will influence Auto-Testsignal Starting the GUI on a system with CDA5010 boards will reset the Auto-Testsignal setting to factory default. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.3.0 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.2.0 (build 160, 23.Feb.2006) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - Added User Interface for DAD5220WCB (Digital Audio Distribution Amplifier Wordclock) - Added Configuration Editor per connected server. This is a convenient way for GUI-users to adapt the configuration of the server (local or remote). Remote server configuration requires a remote server version above 3.1.1 - Added Logfile browser per connected server. This is a convenient way for GUI-users to browse the current and/or older logfiles on the server (local or remote). Remote server configuration requires a remote server version above 3.1.1 - Added RCP Simulation Executable to Installer Package. This is the PC-based simulation of the RCP5000 Control Panel. It runs on the local PC, connecting to a running instance of the Desktop Controller Application (c3_local GUI). It allows for demonstration of all menus that are available in the real RCP5000 panel, controlling the devicesthat are simulated in the Desktop Controller Application. NOTE: turn the rotation-knobs with a mouse-wheel or by dragging it up/down with the right mouse button. ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #703: PTG3010/PTG5010: cannot switch to Sequence Patterns It is not possible to activate a Sequence Pattern in the PTG3010/PTG5010 using the GUI. All static patterns are selectable OK. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible with Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.1.2 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.1.1 (build 158, 14.Feb.2006) ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #701: Serial number of RCT3000 could not be read in GUI The GUI did not display the correct serial number for the RCT3000 - Fixed bug #702: A problem introduced in release 3.1.0 could block all communication to MiniModule behind Service Adapter as well as i to RackExpansions. ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.1.0 (build 157, 13.Feb.2006) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - Added User Interface for RTC3002 (USB ServiceAdapter) - Backup/Restore enabled for unlimited number of *simulated* devices. The License codes RSLBR20 / RSLBR30 are required only when working with more than one *real* device. ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #669: PVD5010: AES Out 1/2 were swapped in GUI In the GUI of the PVD5010, the AES outputs 1 and 2 were shown in the wrong order. These have been swapped now. - Fixed bug #681: PTG3010/PTG5010 Text insert cannot be switched on In the GUI of the PTG3010/PTG5010 there is a checkbox missing that enables the insertion of text. The text can be entered, but it is never overlayed to the video output. - Fixed bug #686: AudioADC: ChannelID can only be set to one character In the GUI of all Audio AD-Converters, the ChannelID can only be set to one character. - Fixed bug #688: DVA5110: status LED color in UI sometimes not correct In the UI (GUI/RCP5000/...) the color of the status LED of theDVA5110 was sometimes not correct (i.e. not same color as LED on the board itself) - Fixed bug #693: PTG3010/PTG5010: Inserted Text filled to 8 chars with squares. When entering a text of less than 8 characters for overlay, the original text was implicitly filled with square-symboles to fill the available 8 characters in the SDI. - Fixed bug: At the time a (RCT5030) server becomes available in the network, the GUI sometimes goes from state "trying to connect ..." to "disconnected" instead of actually connecting to the newly available server. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible to Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.1.0 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 3.0.0 (build 155, 23.Dec.2005) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - Added Backup/Restore of device settings. In the MainWindow, select menu "View -> Backup". Any single device can be backed up to an internal BackupSet. Any such BackupSet can be exported to a local file, for archiving. For Backup of more than one device int one BackupSet, you need to activate one of the Software Licenses RSLBR20 or RSLRB30. (Please contact your local LYNX representative for details.) NOTE that you need to activate RELEASE 3.0.0 or later in the RCT5030 / RCP5000 to backup devices on these servers. - Added User Interface for DVD5420 (SDI / ASI distribution amplifier with reclocking / inversion) - Added User Interface for CAD5132 (Analog Video to SDI converter with Framesync) - Added User Interface for SVD5082 (SDI Input Switch 2*8 -> 2) ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Added general stability by fixing several minor weaknesses in the internal processing. - Fixed bug #626: "PDX3010: Assignment of outputs not possible in GUI" The GUI of the PDX3010 would not allow correct assignments of AES putput channels to channels. - Fixed bug #632: MiniModule on ServiceAdapter was not recognized if Simulation mode had been activated before. - Fixed bug #649: "strange UI status text if SVD5012 in bypass" The status text in the user interface (GUI / RCP5000) was confusing when the unit was running in "bypass mode". - Fixed bug #658: "SDI input missing" event available for just one channel The Events-Tab in the GUI of the CAD3002 showed only events for one of the two channels. - Fixed bug #661: PTG3010/PTG5010: specifying shorter overlay text. When reducing a longer overlay text to a shorter one, the remaining characters would have to be explicitly specified as space-characters in order to delete them from the resulting overlay string. While this workaround worked ok, it is still inconvenient. - Fixed bug #662: "PMX3312/3313 does not show events of AudioADC" Input-lost Events from Audio-ADC combo are not shown in GUI of PMX3312 / PMX3313 - Fixed bug #667: "GUI block diagram of DVA3120 does not cover DVA3120L" Replaced the block diagram for the DVA3120 in the GUI, so that the DVA3120L is also covered by the illustration. - Fixed bug #677: "CMX5110: Switching to Manual Gain not complete" Switching between "Auto-Gain" and "Manual-Gain" (luminance and/or chrominance) in the GUI of the CMX5110 did not complete all required internal changes. Some automatic behaviour remained in action. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible to Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 3.0.0 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 2.8.0 (build 150, 24.Oct.2005) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - Added User Interface for PVD5000 (same as PVD5000G Framesynchronizer, without GPI input) - Added User Interface for CMX5110 (Deembedder with Analog Video and Analog Audio Output) - Added User Interface for DVD5620 (MultiFormat HDTV/SDTV Dual Input SDI Distribution Amplifier with 2x4 crossbar) - Added User Interface for PMX5212/PMX5214 (BS509500) (new AES Embedders, based on PCB BS509500) - Added User Interface for SVD5012 (SDI Change-Over Switch) ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug in PVD50x0 GUI: If switching input by GPI, the current input was not correctly displayed by the (disabled) selection box. - Fixed bug #647: PTG3010/PTG5010 does not correctly show 20/24 Bit Audio Status. There was a communication problem that prevented the 20/24 Bit Audio status from being displayed correctly at startup. Any change was correctly written to the device. The device function was not affected in any way. ------------------------------------------------ Compatible to Device Server (RCT5030/RCP5000) Release 2.2.3 and up. Recommended Device Server with this GUI Release: 2.8.0 ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 2.7.1 (build 149, 16.Sept.2005) ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #638: SNMP checkboxes in GUI grayed out while Option enabled. The c3_local GU frontend did not correctly recognize the presence of the RCT5030 SW-Options, and thus did not show the "SNMP Traps" checkboxes in a read-write state as appropriate. - Fixed bug #632: Initialization of serial port does not init all parameters Fixed another rare instance under which the serial port could potentially be initialized to incorrect parameters. ------------------------------------------------ can be connected to RCT5030 RELEASE 2.2.3 (build 118) and up. ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 2.7.0 (build 148, 30.Aug.2005) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - Added Graphical User Interface for DVD3620 (MultiFormat HDTV/SDTV Dual Input SDI Distribution Amplifier with 2x4 crossbar) - Introduction of the new Remote Control Interface. All devices can be controlled by an external application through the LYNX remote control interface. This is a simple ASCII-based protocol over UDP/IP that allows a third party application / script to control any setting in the LYNX control system. A copy of the detailed description of this remote interface can be requested with a short email to support@lynx-technik.com. - The application is guaranteed to be started only once on a computer. The attempt to start it a second time will simply bring the already running instance to the foreground, propagating command line options as appropriate (see below). - New commandline option -select can be used to request that the application selects the GUI of a specific module (by position). The actual position has to be specified using the addressing scheme of the Remote Control Interface. Example, adressing local COMport 1, stack 0, frame 1, slot 5: c3_local.exe -select :0.0.1.5 Example, adressing remote COMport 1, stack 4, frame 0, slot 7: c3_local.exe -select 192.168.1.160:0.4.0.7 - New commandline option -popup offers similar capabilities as option -select (described above). The requested GUI page will be displayed in a separate popup-window instead of the main window. This allows for control of multiple devices at once. After application startup, any Device-GUI can be sent to a new popup window through the appropriate option from the "Device" pulldown menu. - The passwords for a remote connection (to RCT5030) can optionally be *not* stored persistently. If this option is activated, the password needs to be re-entered every time the connection is used. - Leaving a textual entry field in the GUI by TAB-key or by clicking the mouse outside the entry field applies the new value to the device. In older versions, the described action used to discard the new value and revert to the original value. ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #602: sync source of CAD5121/CAD5122 is identical for both channels. The sync source of CAD5121/CAD5122 (intern/extern/off) is always identical for channels 1 and 2. The client display (PC-GUI / RCP5000) was not guaranteed to be updated accordingly. - Fixed bug #607: application can terminate when pressing F5 in GUI of PVD5010 / RCT5020 / RCT5030 - Fixed bug #620: setting overlay text in PTG3010 / PTG5010 GUI does not work correctly. This bug existed in releases 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 - Fixed bug #626: PTG3010: Assignment of outputs not possible in GUI clicking one of the radio-buttons to re-assign outputs would jump back to the original position after ~2 seconds. - Fixed bug #629: CDA VideoDA-Converters: YLevel Betacam leads to wrong UVLevels. On the Gain-Page ofall CDA VideoDA-Converters: Setting the YLevel to "Betacam" lead to wrong UVLevels. Now the "Betacam" YLevel makes the UVLevels read-only and implicitly sets them correctly. - Fixed bug #632: Initialization of serial port does not init all parameters Under certain cirumstances, the code that initializes the serial ports (COM1...8) does not make all required settings in a 100% correct way. This can lead to communication failures, such as slow response or inconsistent display of current status of individual boards. - Fixed bug: Display of false temperature/voltage peak values for PSUs. The temperature and voltage displays of the PSU units could display false peak values due to data transmission errors. These errors are now filtered out and prevented from display. ------------------------------------------------ can be connected to RCT5030 RELEASE 2.2.3 (build 118) and up. ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 2.6.3 (build 140, 24.June.2005) ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - Fixed bug #604: incorrect read of data from the PAD5212 could lead to wrong display values on the client (c3_local / rcp). NOTE that this bug is in the server part of the software. I.e. if the c3_local is connected to the PAD5212 through a RCT5030 per LAN, then the appropriate patch- release 2.6.3 needs to be installed in the RCT5030 also. - Fixed bug #605: Under certain conditions, modifying a value on the GUI could lead to instability in the client-part of the software. This issue exists only in the user interface. The signal processing devices are not affected. ------------------------------------------------ can be connected to RCT5030 RELEASE 2.2.3 (build 118) and up. ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 2.6.2 (build 139, 21.June.2005) ------------------------------------------------ Fixes - fix bug #601: "F5-Update of version info of Controllers incorrect" Pressing F5 in the GUI of the RCT5010 / RCT5020 / RCT5030 would lead to an incorrect display of the version information in the GUI. - fix bug that would cause the device tree to display an incomplete list of devices from a remote server (RCT5030) under heavy network load. Now the list will always be completed after a couple of seconds, depending on available network resources. - fix bug that would intermittendly logout the GUI from a remote server every once in a while. This was dependent on general network traffic and a relogin would be done immediately. Fixed now. A spontaneous logout happens only if the server cannot be reached for a significant amount of time. ------------------------------------------------ can be connected to RCT5030 RELEASE 2.2.3 (build 118) and up. ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 2.6.1 (build 138, 09.June.2005) ------------------------------------------------ New Features - New config variable GUI_EXPERT_MODE_PASSWORD can be supplied to protect access to the contents of the "Expert" Tab in individual device GUIs.

The same bug caused a deadlock of the GUI application when pressing the key while no device was attached. - Fix updates in GUI for PVD3010. There were situations where some controls in the GUI of the PVD3010 MediaProcessor did not show the actual settings due to a PC-software internal bug. - Fix bug #21: The VideoADC GUI did sent an unnecessary reaquire-signal to the device on startup of the GUI, potentially resulting in visible image distortion. - Fix bug #7: incrementing/decrementing numerical values in entry fields by use of the keyboard's arrow-keys did not always respect upper/lower bounds - Fix bug #10: GUI for DVD5020 sometimes showed green LED with "signal missing" - fix bug #25: GUI for CDA3010: The "Pedestal" checkbox was not always enabled when it should be (525 testsignal enabled without input sync) ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 1.3 (28.July.2003, build 058) ------------ New Features - Added Graphical User Interface for PMX3212/PMX3214 (Audio Multiplexer) - All alpha-numerical entry fields appear light-red while the displayed value is not yet applied. It can be applied by pressing ENTER. The change can be reverted with the ESCAPE key. ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 1.2 (16.July.2003, build 056) ------------ New Features - Added Graphical User Interface for PVP 3010 (Framesync) ------------ Fixes - Fix rare crash of GUI that occured (sometimes) when the module was hot-unplugged directly after making a modification to some variable (and when the module was not explicitly released from the control system) - GUI for AnalogVideoDAmp (DVA3120) respects values for Gain Unity and displays correct default slider positions. - fix irritating behaviour of sliders in GUI of CDA3220 (AudioDAC) - Software version label of Controller in logfile was always reported as "0". Fixed so that the correct SW version of the controller (e.g. CRT3000) is read from the HW and added to the logfile. ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 1.1 (28.May.2003, build 047) ------------ New Features - Added Graphical User Interface for CDA3000 (VideoDAC). - Added Graphical User Interface for CDA3220 (AudioDAC). - Added Graphical User Interface for CAD3320 (AudioADC). ------------ Fixes - Fixed bug that went by un-noticed so far: Under certain circumstances, initializing (building up) the GUI for a particular device would send new values for all slider-controlled parameters to the device. Not sure how the current release 1.0 is affected by this. - Fix bug that did not let the Desktop Controller Application start up if MS-Windows username contains spaces. (symptom was: application never starts, popup with "ORB initialization failed" message) - Fix issue that (in MS-Windows version) the logfile would be created with simple 'line-feed' line endings (instead of 'carriage-return' - 'line-feed'). This made it hard to read the logfile in the MS-Windows notepad-editor. ================================================================ LYNX Desktop Controller - RELEASE 1.0 (15.May.2003, build 044) Initial release, supporting the following MiniModule-devices: - DAA3320 AnalogAudioDAmp - CAD3110 VideoADC - DAD3220 DigitalAudioDAmp - DVA3120 AnaogVideoDAmp - DVD3020 DigitalVideoDAmp Only the RCT3000 ServiceAdapter is supported as controller to any of these devices.
