Current Firmware Files

SimplTrack 3 - v1.0.82

Compatibility & Certification: Firmware can now be applied to both PTZOptics cameras and HuddleCamHD models, ensuring unified support and easier maintenance. The camera has also successfully passed the official NDI HX2 Certification program, ensuring compliance and verified compatibility.
Audio Output Over IP & NDI: Resolved an issue where audio did not play over NDI. Audio is now confirmed to be working over NDI.
Preset 1-9 Group Naming: Fixed an issue where names assigned to presets 1-9 were not retained after reboot and behaved as group names rather than individual preset labels.
Baud Rate Reset: Fixed an issue where the baud rate would automatically change to 2400 after position correction was completed.
TCP Port & Protocol: Corrected default Control settings so the camera now uses port 5678 and TCP as the default protocol.
Saturation in Reference View: Corrected behavior where Saturation adjustments in the reference view incorrectly affected the PTZ view. Now, unavailable image adjustments are greyed out when the camera is set to reference view.
Zoom While Tracking: Fixed an issue where the camera continued to zoom in and out even when Zoom While Tracking was disabled.
NDI Low Bandwidth Mode: Fixed an issue where NDI low bandwidth mode did not function correctly on the reference stream.
Preset Save Workflow: Fixed an issue where presets could not be renamed during the save process. Presets can now be saved and renamed by clicking Set or pressing Enter.

Reference Lens Settings: Image, exposure, and color settings on the reference lens do not save after reboot.
Exposure Settings: Exposure adjustments do not persist after reboot and revert back to Auto Exposure.
Zoom & Tracking Interaction: If Zoom While Tracking is enabled and Track Outside Reference View is disabled, the camera may continue to track outside the reference view.
Gesture Control: Zoom may not function as expected when Gesture Control is enabled.
