We have updated the Integral User Manual, some more information in it but especially we have described the firmware update process step by step and each GUI features are described individually as well.
Make sure you do not miss the latest Integral FW 049025 update and the brand new USB GUI 1.6 for Windows computer (Work from XP to Win10).
Integral 0.49.0.25 FW Update and GUI 1.6 are available from the Download Tab
What's new in 0.49.0.25 and GUI 1.6:
- Added an additional custom table "4k30-RGB 300MHz All Sound". This table removes all YCbCr capabilities and forces the source to output RGB only.
- Added two buttons to sniff Sink EDIDs from both outputs.
- Modified the 4K60 4:4:4 > 4:2:0 down conversion enable/disable to only apply to 600MHz inputs modes. If enabled, then all 600MHz inputs are converted but other formats are not.
- Fixed the RGB / YCbCr fast switching issue in 4:4:4 > 4:2:0 conversion mode. No more pink screen.
- Added "AVR audio" special beta test mode. Top output becomes down-converted audio only and bot output is video + audio. This is a test mode and only for advanced users.
- Added "Allow YCbCr" option in automix (checked by default, if unchecked it might force source to RGB only)
- Added Factory/Hard reset option from the new CONFIG TAB.
- ARC fully implemented (OFF by default)
- CEC operation modes (Video processor / Audio system with ARC)
- IFX demo mode fine tuned for LG
- green and blue led enable/disable in new CONFIG TAB.
- performance enhancements
- GUI resizing is possible to increase/decrease windows size (not scalable yet!)
- Added needed DLL to work from XP to latest WIN10 without having to install anything else than Silabs Driver 4.0.0
- IF/HDR auto demo mode improved (IFX demo final)
- HDR MODE ON/OFF Demo now available for Samsung JSxxxx owners or LG HDR display owners, or any HDR display owners! Turn the HDR MODE ON/OFF from your TV whenever you want!
- GUI shows information about the Source device if it sends the SPD infoframe.
- GUI includes detection for 10-bit 4k60 420 mode.
- GUI includes detection for color spaces.For example, when using Shield in 10bit mode it reports BT2020 color space.
- 4k60 600MHz -> 4:2:0 force mode support broke on shield since its last update. It has been verified working on PC Desktop from TOP and BOT outputs.
- Known issue: There is some issue with Shield non-processed BOT output still in this mode.
- Added / replaced the custom selectable EDID tables with the following:
- 4K30 4:4:4 + Full Sound (default)
- 4K60 4:2:0 8bit 709 + Full Sound (300MHz)
- 4K60 4:2:0 10bit BT2020/HDR ON+ Full Sound (371MHz)
- 4K60 4:4:4 8 bit 709 + Full sound (600MHz)
- 4K60 4:4:4 8 bit BT2020/HDR ON + Full sound (600MHz)
- Added HDR HOTKEY mode now set CEC SP as HDR DEMO MODE ON and CEC LP as HDR DEMO MODE OFF.
- Added Input Priority mode for autoswitching enhancement.
- Added BT2020 forced flag option for EDID automix.
- Added HDR Data packet in automix mode: 2.0 / 5.1 / Full Audio / HDR data packet / BT2020
- Added Manual or Auto AVI Infoframe Injection
- Added "HDR mode force" that will send out AVI mods + HDR IF everytime there is a resync.
- Improved robustness built in mode detection (might slightly help in HDMI cables issue)
Take Care:
The Default CUSTOM EDID is 4K30 4:4:4 after update (instead of 4K60 4:2:0 previously). We did that to allow 4K30 display owners to also have a picture out of the box.
If the previous custom EDID was perfect for your setup, you can use it or any other by simply selecting it from the GUI dropdown list in EDID TAB.
By default ARC is OFF and Integral is now registered on CEC network as a Video Processor (CEC ID#14), in order to use Integral for ARC, please use the GUI and select "Audio System" (CEC ID#05)
If you have an AVR that you are using for CEC or ARC, then the default settings after update should be just fine.
