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.
STOP+LAMP shortcut for quick access to Circling or NG'ing the last recorded take.
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.
Periodic, automatic file header saving during recording to preserve WAV file integrity in the event power is lost during recording. Does not apply to FLAC or MP3 recording.
Menu option to allow display of gain settings instead of sample rate/gain in the LCD.
Latching tone - press and hold tone button >2 secs to latch on.
Option to enable tone activation during record. Set in the Tone: Record Lock menu.
Menu to prevent start up messages appearing at power up.
Default 'tape' metadata if mid-level (daily) folder is set to none (important for EDL based workflows).
Changed
10 Hz steps in the tone generator frequency.
Scrolling through menu made more intuitive.
Remove drive repair function and associated menus.
Fixed
Condition where keyboard combinations pressed with a connected keyboard (via the CL-1) could freeze the recorder.
Condition where Windows Media Players-generated WAV files would not be recognized or playable on the recorder.
Added beeps to Rec-Pause Mode, so beeps occur when recording is paused and un-paused.
Fixed
SPEED and TAKE tags were sometimes not written the BEXT chunk when the recorder was in EXT_TC AUTO or EXT_TC/CONT AUTO. This bug did not affect the iXML tags - they are always correct
The REC: Timer Start/Stop function did not function if the recorder was set to record to daily folders and the record start time was after midnight.
Record-pause, allows for recording to stop, then commence without generating a new file.
Family UID added to iXML metadata
Changed
"Record pending” notification when a record command has been given and the DSP is not available to begin recording. The recorder now enters stand-by mode and will begin recording immediately once the DSP is available to record. This improves the overall performance and reliability of the CL-1 in particular. “Record Pending” also replaces the “Busy” notification.
CompactFlash formatting now adds a partition so that CF cards can be exchanged between all 7-Series Recorders including the 788T.
Poly files no longer contain unused tracks. The 7-Series will no longer record zeros to unused tracks.
Circled takes are now tagged <CIRCLE>= TRUE in the iXML chunk and @ is added to the BEXT filename.
Fixed
MP3 time code stamp bug - time code was not getting stamped correctly in the ID3 tag
