V1.40b - If Image-Turn-Mode 180° was selected, "Image Turn ON" or "OFF" was not displayed. V1.40a - Improved Image-Turn-Mode: - You can now also select in the Menu 180 degree rotation (e.g. to use the built-in lightbox for very large x-rays: You can place the x-rays upside down and then rotate the image.). - You can select CYCLE in the Menu (Misc Settings, Image Turn Rotation): In this mode the image is rotated 90 degree clockwise everytime you press the Image-Turn-button. - The zoom-side is automatically adjusted when you rotate the image by 90 degrees. - Improved image-quality (less noise on sharp edges). - The LIGHT-button can now be assigned to a PRESET-button in the menu too. - Menu is controllable via the remote-control (Memory 2/4/6/8 and 5 for help) by default. To switch this off, go to the misc-menu. - VZ27: Fixed a problem with a green line on top of the screen on some VZ27s. - VZ27: Fixed a problem that the memory was not always correctly erased during power-up when the battery is empty. - VZ57: Fixed a bug when using Image Turn together with Auto-Resolution on SXGA-displays. V1.33b - Increased speed of accu-loading when it is fully discharged. - Indicating memories that are digitally zoomed in show-all-mode with "D.Z.". - The function that pressing the POWER-button for 4 seconds disables the arm is removed. (except debug-mode) V1.33a - When accu-battery was empty (memory-backup lost), the memory was not filled with blue, it was filled with random data instead. Fixed. - Fixed a bug regarding the Snapshot-command via RS-232 - Added Erase-Memory-command to RS-232-protocoll (Command 165 in Page 1) V1.32a - RS-232: Command 178 and 179 (Light/LB-control) did not work. Fixed. V1.31a - VZ57 had sporadically a green picture when switched on. Fixed. - VZ57 had sporadically no picture-output on some units. Bug was introduced with V1.30x. Fixed. V1.30c - No significant changes V1.30b - No significant changes V1.30a - Changed power-on-logo from VZ27/57 to VZ-27/57 (like everywhere else) - If OSD-level is QUIET, "Recalled Memory"-messages and some others are no longer displayed - DVI-output showed a freeze-picture in standby-mode. Fixed. - On the VZ27 now you can select between different contrast-curves in the Color-Settings-Menu - On the VZ27 now digital-zoom can be used also in image-turn-mode - Lightbox could not be used when both lamps were blown. Fixed. - Now menu can also be used in image-turn-mode - Now also images with digital-zoom can be memorized - Increased speed of mirror when the picture is outside the working-surface - Removed a bug of the image-turn-function - Implemented support for new CCD-module - Improved USB-stability (when using it on slow PCs) - Changed snapshot-function: Now you have to press ShowAll for 4 seconds and then either Memory 1 or 3 to make a snapshot or erase the memory, respectively - Memories are no longer destroyed by a software-download - Implemented support for Rev.2-mainboards (with accu-battery for memory-backup) - Improved Detail-algorithm for better contrast and reduced the white borders around text of the VZ57 - Implemented Auto-Tracking-WB on VZ27 (VZ57 had this already) - Improved Auto-Iris with new algorithm. Because this algorithm provides good results in all applications, it is no longer possible to select Auto-Iris-Algorithm in the menu. - Minor changes in the menu. - Improved OSD (flickering is no longer possible) - Corrected DVI-timing in image-turn-mode of VZ57 (VZ27 was already correct). V1.22a - Improved arm-function - Improved Auto-Resolution - Corrected a problem when pressing a menu-arrow when menu is not active V1.21a - Changed the way the arm drives down V1.20a - Implemented Auto-Power-Off - Implemented Rental Hours Counter (Just for WolfVision use.) - Default resolution is now XGA/60 instead of XGA/75 - Implemented Auto-Resolution - Improved depth-of-field after power-on or RESET - Fixed a problem with storing Preset 3 on VZ27 V1.10c - Improved arm-function V1.10b - Corrected a problem with image-turn V1.10a - Initial release for VZ27 - Corrected a problem of the video-output - Fixed a problem with reply-modes (RS-232) - Added a warning message that memories may be currupted when resolution is changed (VZ57 only) - Corrected a minor problem in image-turn-mode - Menu: Implemented Help and Reset Item on IR-remote (VZ-8-style, only active when IR Menu Control is ON) - Improved switching between memories - By pressing a memory-button twice, the recalled memory will be switched off again - Fixed a problem with memories that were stored in image-turn-mode - Fixed a problem with sync-on-green - Corrected direction of image turn (+90 and -90 were mixed up) - Improved USB - Text-Mode is now also usable in negative- and blue-mode. - Corrected a problem with GTF-timing V1.05d - No significant changes V1.05c - No significant changes V1.05b - Improved USB V1.05a - Corrected a problem with image-memories - Improved USB V1.04a - Implemented digitalzoom - Memories can now also be stored in image-turn-mode (they will not be correctly displayed by ShowAll) - Added Macro to the selectable assignments to the preset-buttons V1.03a - Finished all help-texts - Improved USB - Removed problem of AUTO-shutter V1.02a - Improved text-enhancer - Memories are filled blue at power-on (not random as before) - Improved USB - Implemented additional commands to RS-232 - Improved Auto-Iris - Arm now always goes down when arm-button is pressed (except when it is already down, of course.) - Implemented On-Screen-Display for video-output - Improved OSD-speed - Improved power-on-time - Implemented +90/-90 option for image-turn (in Misc-menu) - External input is always on in standby-mode - Implemented key-combinations for output-format-settings - Canged duration for storing presets/memories and changing the lamp to 2 seconds (from 4/1 seconds) V1.01b - Improved image quality V1.01a - Corrected a problem with image-memories - Corrected a problem that could cause sporadic lock-up of the unit V1.00a - Initial release of VZ57
