History-File of VZ8-firmware V1.42a - No DDC scanning when output resolution is set manually - Freeze, White Balance and Light assignable to presets settings - Added Get Serialnumber to USB commando - Added support for new IR remote V1.41g - Added support for new lens hardware V1.41f - Added freeze on / off and get freeze command to RS-232-protocol V1.41e - Internal adoptions for larger series-numbers V1.41d - Solved a problem that caused sporadic wrong OSD-display on some new units (finally) - Solved a problem with wrong colored numbers in "Show All", introduced with V1.41c V1.41c - Solved a problem that caused sporadic wrong OSD-display on some new units (was still very sporaidcally there) V1.41b - Fixed a bug that caused VERY sporadic failures of some units (redish image, no zoom/focus) V1.41a - Support for Image-Turn via USB V1.40b - Support for AF-button on remote - Minor improvements in AF algorithm - The Auto-Zoom-Featuren for Image Turn is can be switched on and off in the menu (default is off) V1.40a - Implemented Freeze (like VZ-8light: Press AF for 2 seconds) - Implemented Manual Focus on the unit (like VZ-8light: Hold AF and press Tele or Wide) - Implemented Extern on the unit like on the VZ-8light: Press POWER for 2 seconds - Improved Image-Turn-Mode: - You can now also select in the Menu 180 degree rotation. - 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-size is automatically adjusted when you rotate the image by 90 degrees. - Improved image-quality (less noise on sharp edges). - WB is automatically changed to AUTO by the factory preset, if ONE-PUSH was selected before. To conserve a ONE-PUSH-setting, change the setting in the color-settings-menu from ONE-PUSH to MANU, after a ONE-PUSH- white-balance was performed. - New improved AF algorithm V1.35a - Increased output-level of DVI and 15pin-connector a little bit - In SXGA-mode, D.Z. and TURN-displays in last line were not erased after Show-All - Made brightness-range for white-balance larger - Removed lines that were visible during Show-All when memories were erased V1.34b - Increased speed of accu-loading when it is fully discharged. - Indicating memories that are digitally zoomed in show-all-mode with "D.Z.". V1.34a - Memories which were stored in image-turn-mode could not be recalled (since V1.32a). Fixed. - Default-setting for digital-zoom-warning is now STOP. V1.33b - Only minor changes 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. V1.32a - Fixed a bug regarding the Snapshot-command via RS-232 - Added Erase-Memory-command to RS-232-protocoll (Command 165 in Page 1) - Fixed a bug in the Erase-Memory-function (in conjunction with the ATW-function) - Improved AF - Reduced the slow-zoom-speed (used in the first second after pressing the zoom-button) to make positioning of zoom easier (only for VZ-8plus) - Removed the green line on top of the VGA-picture - Fixed a minor bug in the QUIET-mode - Iris does now speedup after one second (like zoom and focus, only VZ-8plus) V1.31a - Changed power-on-logo from VZ8(plus) to VZ-8(plus) (like everywhere else) - If OSD-level is QUIET, AF On/Off-messages are no longer displayed - Manual-Iris-Priority-Mode implemented (in Exposure-Settings-Menu) - On new units with Rev.2a-mainboard (with memory-backup) and new lens, "WolfVision VZ8plus" is displayed - Power-on-logo (WolfVision VZ8) was displayed too short. Fixed. - Now also images with digital-zoom can be memorized - Memories are no longer destroyed by a software-download - Set default value for Text-Mode-Contrast (in Color-Settings-Menu) to 2. Made text-mode-image brighter - When receiving some illegal commandos via RS-232, the unit behaved wrong. Fixed. - Improved AF - When being in image-turn mode, the unit did not reenter image-turn when ShowAll was pressed twice. Fixed. - Improved USB-stability (when using it on slow PCs) V1.30a - Greatly improved contrast for text (also in normal mode) - When recalling a memory or the 9 memories preview, the image-turn-setting is memorized and restored when going back to the live-image - It is no longer possible to accidentally change the IR-code - Minor cosmetic changes in the menu - Fixed a problem with USB/RS-232 regading Zoom/Focus/Iris-control and Snapshot - 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 - Improved AF - Improved AI (better results on colored objects) - Added LIGHT to the functions that can be assigned to the PRESET-buttons - Fixed a problem with presets when in digital zoom - Implemented possibility to change power-on-preset (aka factory-preset) - Implemented support for next generation lens - Implemented support for next generation mainboard (Rev.2a) V1.22a - Implemented Focus-Priority in Misc-Menu - Improved AF - Improved Auto-Resolution - Implemented Rental-Hours-Counter (Just for WolfVision use.) V1.21a - Default Resolution is now XGA/60 instead of XGA/75 V1.20a - Improved Auto-Iris - Implemented Auto-Power-Off - Added explanation how to reset a specific menu-item in the root-menu-page - Improved AF - Improved AI - Implemented the possibility to change color/text-contrast in color-menu. V1.10c - Corrected video-output. (There was a minor problem in V1.02a, V1.10a and V1.10b) V1.10b - Corrected a sporadic problem of the video-output (Problem was in V1.02a and V1.10a) V1.10a - Implemented function to reset a specific menu-item by pressing Memory 5 for 2 seconds (when in the menu) - Implemented Auto-Resolution V1.02a (never in production) - Now menu can also be used in image-turn-mode - Corrected some mixed-up help-texts - Improved USB - Fixed a problem with memories that were stored in image-turn-mode - Fixed a problem with Video-Black/White and Color-Crawl-Reduction (in Video-Menu) - Implemented Noise-Reduction (always on). V1.01a - Improved USB - Improved AF V1.00a - Initial Release
