702T Firmware v2.67

Released: November 09, 2011

Download v2.67

• Fixed
  • Low level File system improvements.
  • DC offset removed when HPF is enabled for high sample rate recordings.
• Known issues
  • If a single storage medium (i.e. CompactFlash card) is selected/available for recording and it is unintentionally removed the unit will briefly show that the volume has been taken off-line, but the display will still indicate recording and the record LED will remain illuminated for up to 30 seconds or until STOP is pressed.
  • When initiating a repair on an unformatted volume (not likely…but), the unit will begin the process and lock up, requiring a hard shut down.
  • FireWire storage volumes with a PL3507 FireWire chipset and hard drive fail the speed test. Threre is a problem reading from these external drives. There are no problems writing to drives of this type.
  • These known issues will be addressed in future revisions of firmware.
  • Cue Markers are deleted if file is automatically split.

702T Firmware v2.66

Released: July 28, 2010

702T Firmware v2.65

Released: November 16, 2009

• New
  • Firmware revision number shows in boot up splash screen.
  • Ability to mark a take as 'NG' (No Good). Typically used to identify a take as not the one to be used in post, although there may be sections of it which may be useful. Data stored in the iXML chunk.

  • Add ability to change take status of any take from the take list.
  • Addition of iXML (v1.52) parameters including <FALSE_START>, <NO_GOOD>
• Changed
  • When daily folders are selected, the daily folder is only created when record is first pressed. This prevents empty daily folders being generated if the 7-series is powered up every day but without recording anything. This also applies to the generation of top level and bottom level folders.
  • Drive "Erase" menus renamed to "Erase / Format".
• Fixed
  • RF hash/noise no longer causes the recorder to incorrectly stop recording in ExtTC/cont - Auto Record mode. It will only stop when stationary TC code is detected.
