User Bits Format:

- In previous versions of firmware, end users could customize the user bits with a four-field format, delimited by colons, such as UU:UU:UU:UU, where U represented a user-definable value.
- Often, the first three fields in the format would be manually reset daily using two-digit numerical values for the date, such as MM:DD:YY:UU.
- A new menu option in this version of firmware lets the user configure the unit to automatically populate the first three fields with values derived from the system’s date. (250/260/270/970)

MADI Equalizer Option:

- New Setup Menu option Menu>Audio>MADI Equalizer.

- In these cases turn the MADI Equalizer off and the noise will be eliminated. (270/970)

Reel-Scene-Take_Track Name File Name Format:

- This version of firmware has a new file name format option called Reel-Scene-Take_Track Name.
- This option only applies when recording WAV mono files, and if selected, the files will be given names in the following format: <Reel>-<Scene>-<Take>_<Track #Track Name>.
- For example, if Reel=141001, Scene=101A, Take=001, Track=01, and the Track 1 Name=Boom, then the file’s name would be 141001-101A-001_01Boom.WAV. (260/270/970)

Changes:

- All PIXNet tabs, except Clips, remain open when going into record. (250/260/270/970)

Fixes:

- Fixed incompatibility with some AVID workstations where AVID would report Hagrid Base Error when loading AMA Linked 250/260/270-generated DNxHD files. (250/260/270)
- The 250/260/270/970 is now more forgiving when mounting media with corruption. In some cases, depending on the level of corruption, the PIX would show drives as "No Fmt". A common cause of this sort of corruption was termination of the data connection during a write cycle when the drive was connected to a computer. Drives with this sort of corruption will now mount correctly but the corrupted file(s) may not playback correctly or the 250/260/270/970 may report them as corrupted. (250/260/270/970)
- WAV Mono playback stopping prematurely (260/270/970)
- Reverting to a previously used Scene Name wouldn’t correctly increment the Take number when using Reel-Scene-Take filename format. (260/270/970)

- Audio Screen Gain and Delay value navigation was backwards when adjusting with attached USB Keyboard. (250/260/270/970)

- PIXNet Gain Sliders now work correctly with computer’s keyboard arrow keys. (250/260/270/970)
- PIXNet now properly displays Scene Increment changes when viewing File Storage Tab and Scene Increment is performed on the unit. (250/260/270/970)
- Reverting to a previously used scene number would set take number incorrectly if the last take of the scene was Circled. (260/270/970)
- QuickTime File Split Every no longer show as --- when updating from previous version of firmware. (250/260/270)
- Inconsistent pop up qwerty keyboard cursor method (250/260/270/970)
- Dante sources continue to display as / if the Audio Screen was displayed prior to network configuration. (260/270/970)

Firmware Installation Instructions:

- Download the firmware.zip file.
- From the zip archive, extract the .prg file.
- Copy the .prg file to the root level of an SSD in a PIX-CADDY, CF memory card or HDD. The card or SSD must be formatted as an exFAT volume. (The storage medium should be formatted by PIX/970.)
- Power the recorder from external DC. Do not perform the update with an unstable power source.
- Insert the SSD, CF card or HDD with the .prg file.
- Power on the recorder.
- Once booted, push the MENU button to open the Main Menu. Turn the Control knob to highlight System, and then press the Control knob to select it.
- Turn the Control knob to highlight Update Software, and then press the Control Knob to select it.
- Once a prg has been selected, you will need to reconfirm that the file selected is the correct one. Select Yes to proceed with the firmware update or select No to exit the Software Update. The unit will take a few minutes to update the firmware, indicating its progress. When the update is finished, the unit will present a dialog indicating it will shut down. Accept this dialog to complete the update process.
- A dialog will appear asking: "Are you sure?" Make sure Yes is highlighted, then push in the Control knob to initiate the update. The unit will take a few minutes to update the firmware, indicating its progress. When the update is finished, the unit will present a dialog indicating it will shut down. Accept this dialog to complete the update process.
- Review settings after updating.

Important Note:

- We recommend backing up any existing data that may reside on the recorder. While no data on the storage is changed during the update process, it is best practice to back up the unit. It is also highly recommended to save the current device settings since a firmware update can result in settings changing to factory default.
