Analogue video has many different resolutions and timings to have an exhaustive list of supported EDID. Also many modes can be close to other modes making it difficult to auto detect correctly.
A web page has been added to the ALIF100T-VGA where you can adjust the video timings to ensure the system accurately displays the video content.
Please read the updated manual that goes along with this release to use this feature.

Known Issues

  • 1920 x 180@50Hz does not display correctly with fixed EDID selected on the AIM. Use 60Hz EDID or use custom mode
  • 800x 480@60 Hz sometimes displayed with offset or mis-detected. Re-apply hot plug detect, if no improvement, change the resolution on PC or use custom mode
  • 640 x 480@60Hz sometimes displayed with offset or mis-detected. Re-apply hot plug detect, if no improvement, change the resolution on PC or use custom mode.
  • For the VGA variant it is recommended that the hot plug detect period is set to 5 seconds – or very long when under control of AIM.

ALIF: AIM f/w v3.5.42099 - Critical Update

Published 02-03-2018 23:00

After January 2018, it is not possible to add new or factory reset endpoints to the AIM Manager due to a 32-bit rollover problem when generating 30 year SSL Certificates. They are required by both the AIM Manager and endpoints for trust and to encrypt the communication. This only affects the original AIM Manager. Please read the firmware release notes for more information. 

ALIF: AIM - Using the 192.168.1.x network range.

Published 01-02-2018 23:00

Be careful if you are using the 192.168.1.x network range for endpoints. If a transmitter or receiver is given 192.168.1.42, it cannot be added to the AIM Manager. This is because 192.168.1.42 is used for the Management port and causes the SSL security/authentication to fail.

ALIF: Cisco Network Switch configuration

Published 02-03-2017 23:00

We have had some instances where endpoints were not being seen properly by AIM when using a Cisco network switch.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that if the ethernet interfaces in the switch configuration are left as default (i.e. no settings) that the switch can take a long while to determine what type of device is connected, i.e. a host or another switch (trunk). This seems to stop the endpoints from getting an IP address from the DHCP server.
