Studio 4K/SE 12X - v8.2.29Studio 4K/SE 20X - v8.2.24

New Features and Bug Fixes​

  • EPTZ: Added EPTZ (cropping) support to the SuperZoom (BETA) function located in Control > Mode > ZoomModes. The camera can now digitally zoom in and navigate around the image sensor, enabling electronic pan, tilt, zoom, and preset set/recall functionality.
note

SuperZoom & EPTZ are only available on the Studio 4K. A reboot is required to enable SuperZoom.

  • Image Settings: Added One Push Exposure functionality. When triggered, the camera automatically calibrates exposure settings (shutter speed and gain) based on current lighting conditions, then locks them for manual control, similar to One Push White Balance. Added Bright Mode to the Exposure Mode settings.
  • Camera Features & Security: Added Focus Calibration to the Web UI under System Settings > Advanced. Added VISCA command support for Privacy Mode: 0x81, 0x01, 0x3F, 0x0A, 0x12, 0x0p, 0xFF where p: on=01 off=00. Added VISCA command support for Camera Restart: 0x81, 0x01, 0x3F, 0x0B, 0x01, 0xAA, 0xFF. Added the ability to disable IR remote input to enhance security, located in System Settings > IR Remote Channel Selection.
  • Audio/Video Interface: Reorganized the Audio section of the Web UI to improve user experience and accessibility.
  • Streaming & Protocols: Resolved issue where HX3 enabled mode did not restrict certain setting required by the NDIHX3 certification process. Stream 1 Encode Protocols now allow only H.264 and H.265 when HX3 is On; MJPEG is unselectable.
  • PTZ & Control: Fixed issue where Iris control via ONVIF was inverted. Open now correctly opens the iris and Close closes it. Resolved issue with Pelco D/P protocol presets so presets can now be both saved and recalled using Pelco commands. Fixed IR remote shortcut * > * > [F3], which now correctly toggles between SDI and HDMI outputs.

Known Issues​

  • Enabling NDI HX3 leaves the camera’s refresh rate at its last value. If that isn’t 50 Hz or 60 Hz, the stream may not function as HX3.
note

Please ensure the refresh rate matches the intended NDI HX3 profile needed.
