Version 4.1 Release date 10/99 1 Disk
U First version to include Fairlight file support, Dual SCSI and enhanced Biphase operation.
§ Fairlight file format playback support
§ Dual SCSI operation
§ Biphase improvements
§ Lock to digital word clock while recording AES digital input
§ Preliminary support for TimeLine’s OpenTL Edit Decision List (EDL) format
§ AKAI Naming Convention Change: The naming convention for AKAI sound files has been
changed to include the volume ID as a suffix. This fixes a problem that had occurred when
multiple AKAI disks were converted to a single WaveFrame disk.
§ WaveFrame Backup Bug Fix: Version 3.1 introduced a bug that caused backups of a
WaveFrame track onto volumes that already contained that track to not overwrite it. Instead
another track file with the same name was created, making it hard to identify the latest file.
This bug is fixed in Version 4.1.
§ Negative MMR Offset Bug Fix: A bug which caused audio output to mute when a negative
time offset was used has been fixed.
§ Optimized Memory Use: MM system memory usage has been changed to accommodate
smaller block sizes on reads. This allows efficient operation and uses less memory. This
should result in fewer "not enough memory" errors for complex projects.
§ Class B IP Network Addresses Supported for ViewNet: Class B Internet Protocol addresses
are now supported for use with ViewNet Audio.
§ Biphase Improvements: The MM Series dubbers now support chase of poor Biphase
generated by film projectors. MM units as Slaves on the MMR bus, with a Master MM
chasing an unstable Biphase source, will lock up with stable audio playback (Lock LED will
go solid). With some poor Biphase sources the MMR bus LED on the front panel may blink
(to show poor lock). This is to alert the user of an unstable clock derived from the unstable
Biphase.
