Version History for MMR-8 and MMP-16
Page 5 of 5
Version 4.6 Release date 1/02 2 Disks
U 4.6 is compatible with both older and M-2 units.
§ Support for HFS+ formatted volumes
§ Auto-Punch feature on M2 hardware machines ONLY
§ Ability to work with "Wide-Narrow-Wide" SCSI setups
§ Renaming tracks: Previously, renaming of tracks caused unexpected behavior where a new
project would be created with the new name containing the track that was selected with the
same name. Track renaming has never actually been permitted on the MMR/ MMP’s. Now an
attempt to rename a track will result in an error message that track renaming is not allowed.
§ Sync-II Idle On error: With version 4.5, some users of older hardware would experience a
"Sync-II Idle On" error when loading the 4.5 software. This has been corrected and will not
occur when loading version 4.6
§ Wide SCSI card operation: Previously, machines with a wide SCSI card installed could
exhibit sluggish transport and chase lock behavior when chasing SMPTE Time Code or
another MMR-8/MMP-16. This has been corrected in version 4.6.
§ SoundMaster Compatibility: Previously there were transport control and synchronization
issues when using a SoundMaster system to control the MMR-8 and MMP-16. These issues
have been resolved in version 4.6. This update applies to M-2 UNITS ONLY.
Version 4.7 Release date 3/02 2 Disks
U 4.7 is compatible with both older and M-2 units.
§ Support for recording and playback of OpenTL projects on FAT-32 Disks
§ Support for 5.2 Gigabyte Akai format Magneto Optical Disks
§ Fixes Punch In/Out noise on M2 series machines
Version 5.0 Release Date 4/02 2 Disks
U 5.0 is compatible with both older and M-2 units.
§ Support for 24 & 25 fps Pull-down: Previous versions did not support newer film rates of
23.976 or 24.975, version 5.0 now supports these rates.
§ Support for MX-View GUI: Waveform editing is now supported when used with MX-View
version 1.1 or higher.
§ Default Recording format changed to 24–Bit: MMR-8 now defaults to 24-Bit recording instead
of 16-Bit recording.
Version 5.01 Release Date 5/02 2 Disks
U 5.01 is compatible with both older and M-2 units.
§ Bug fix only: Fixes a problem that occurred on some units using V5.0. On these units the
drive solenoid would not release when the key was turned requiring the user to power down
the unit to remove the drive. It was found this only affected units that did not have View Net
cards installed. No other changes were made.
