Feature Additions:-

• With the release of ALIF3000 V1.1.0 - the AIM system must be upgraded to support the new features contained in it.
  
  IMPORTANT:
  • If you already have ALIF3000’s attached to the AIM, please make sure you upgrade them to v1.1.0 or above before upgrading the AIM to v4.12. If you do upgrade the AIM before the ALIF3000’s, you will need to reboot the AIM for the ALIF3000’s to connect correctly.
  • The AIM v4.12 sets the minimum firmware version for the ALIF3000 as v1.1.0. Therefore, until upgraded, they will not be fully operational.
  
  
• Support for ALIF4000 V4.02
  The ALIF40000 v4.02 release contains new features which AIM is required to control in matrix operation. These features include:
  • SDR10 and HDR10
  • Touch screen control.
• Support for ALIF101T
  The ALIF101T is a new transmitter in the Adder range and will only be recognized in AIM version v 4.12 and above.
• No Mass storage option
• Usernames for logging into the AIM's web UI and OSD are now Case-Sensitive (A-a).
  Another option has been added to the USB filtering tool to allow blocking of just Mass storage devices.
  This option is currently not support on the ALIF3000 or ALIF100T’s.
  • Minimum endpoint firmware versions that support this feature are: -
  • ALIF1002T/R, ALIF2000T/R, ALIF2002T, ALIF2020T/R, ALIF2112T – v5.0
  • ALIF4021T/R – v4.02

• OSD only displayed the first 8 Transmitter devices
• USB did not work with iPEPS+
• Various Keyboards /Mice/Rack trays not working.

Changes since 3.01 f/w:

• Support for 10 bit color and HDR. With the introduction of firmware versions 4.01 ALIF4000 models now support video signals with color formats that use 10-bpc (bits per color) as well as the standard 8-bpc. The supported dynamic ranges are:
  • SDR8 - Uses 8-bpc (24-bits in total per pixel), as supported across the ALIF range.
  • SDR10' - Uses 10-bpc (30-bits total) in order to define a wider color gamut.
  • HDR10 - Uses 10-bpc to define a wider color gamut and also benefits from support for ST2084 dynamic range mastering and BT.2020 colorimetry.
• Touch screen support. The ALIF4000 now supports full touch screen support for operation. (Note: This applies only to touch screens that do not need proprietary drivers). A floating semitransparent icon can be positioned anywhere on the screen and will launch the OSD in either point to point, Basic matrix and AIM control. There is also an on-screen keyboard. When a single touchscreen is used it should operate correctly as soon as the USB link is made between the screen and the ALIF RX. However, if two touchscreens are installed it may be necessary to instruct the ALIF RX which screen to correctly attributed to each USB input.
• Basic matrix operation. Although ALIF units are most often organised and managed by a central AIM server, it is possible to create small networks of ALIF4021 units, most often in matrix arrangements, i.e. multiple TX and RX units which can freely cross-connect. This method of connection works well for small numbers of TX and RX units but will become more difficult to manage as more units are attached. The maximum number of TX sources that can be made available to any RX is 16.
• Local feed through at RX. ALIF4000 RX receivers can be configured to support a local link to a separate host PC, via a dedicated ALIF TX, in addition to the main link to the network. The locally linked PC remains completely isolated from the main network. To configure this arrangement, ensure that the IP port that is used for the local link is not allocated an IP address. The link local connection to the ALIF TX must use the same type of port as the main network connection, i.e. either both SFP or both CATx.
• Added a workaround for an error in the EDID of a LG Ultrawide 38UC99 monitor (3840 x 1660) which did not display video unless active sync is enabled.
• Rebooting the AIM Manager could cause temporary loss of a channel connection.
• In point to point mode – Enabling or Disabling the USB setting on the Receiver did not have any immediate effect to the current channel. A reboot or deleting and re-adding the USB connection on the preset was needed.
• Video Mirroring feature does not support DP Audio.

Changes since 1.1 f/w:

New Feature:

• Transparent USB2.0 High-speed link The ALIF4000 contains hardware that allows a full 480Mbps USB2.0 high-speed point to point link to be formed. In this V2.02 release, this feature has been enabled. This is identified as port 1 on the front of the RX unit. The link is point to point only. It cannot be multicast. In terms of setup and operation, it is linked to the normal USB operation. In a matrix system, the first RX to connect to the TX gets the link. If a second RX joins, the high-speed link is not active. If the original RX disconnects, the second unit that joined will assume the link. The HID only feature also disables the high-speed link totally as well as the normal USB from using any device other than HID devices.
• Point to point setup via OSD. In point to point mode, it is now possible to configure all the RX and TX units setting from the onboard OSD. By using the hotkey modifier (Left ALT, Left CTRL, C default setting) this brings up the OSD and allows the user to configure.
• USB device support. Support has been added for smart card or CAC readers and support for extra classes of Serial to USB devices.

For DDX30 and DDX10

This firmware release adds the ability to disable the USB audio on the DDX-CAM modules.

- When re-assigning ports and using the Preset function to store the connection state, it was possible on power on that the configuration appeared to have been lost or the DDX-USR's and DDX-CAM to not be connected in the way that you had expected. This required the DDX to be factory reset to resolve the problem.

This update contains the following:-
- Added the ability for the CCS-XB LED's to work in non-Free-Flow mode.
- Fixed an issue where the LED brightness level was not maintained if you reconnected the CCS-XB module whilst the CCS-PRO was powered.

Added Custom Mode timings
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

Fixed an issue with some industrial PC's where the video and usb could be lost on reboot when using the DDX-VGA CAM module.

Fixed the following issues:
USB Mouse intermittently not working on some hosts after a reboot.
Video distortion at 1920x1200@50hz

Added support for Promess Touchscreens and USB Joysticks. Improved audio performance frequency response.

Fix: An intermittent loss of USB and a reboot has been observed when moving the Free-Flow mouse rapidly to the left and right whilst using ALIF receivers that are also doing their channel changes

Fixes an intermittent loss of USB, particularly when used in conjunction with a CCS-PRO. Requires CCS-PRO firmware upgrade (2.01.5444 or higher).

Support for the new ALIF100T transmitter, it also has a number of features and bug fixes.

Features include:
- Support for ALIF100T DP/DVI transmitter
- Addition of 3440x1440@60Hz to EDID list
- Addition of warning to users via the OSD if Primary AIM unit has failed
- Ability to have multiple DNS server IP addresses
- Manual editing of email address to overcome issues with exchange 2010 servers not complying to RFC2821

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.
