Model 5401 Main Firmware

File Names: M5401v1r09.bin, M5401VerInfo.txt

Note: FFirmware is loaded via FTP. If updating firmware using a local FTP server refer to the Tech Note named Configuring a Local FTP Server for Firmware Updates which is avaialble on the Studio Technologies' website. Two files must be downloaded from the Studio Technologies' website and saved in the appropriate folder on the local FTP server: M5401v1r09.bin and M5401VerInfo.txt. 

Version History:

Version: 1.09
Release Date: 15-Apr-2020
Description: Improves reliability of Sync FPGA Firmware updates. Will allow more reliable updates of future Main FPGA Firmware releases.

Version: 1.08
Release Date: 30-Sep-2019
Description: Forces Dante Controller Sync to External check box to off if these Model 5401 conditions are met: a) Clock Source is configured for Sync Input, b) Sync Input Failover Source is configured for Dante, and c) Sync Input Failover function is active (no valid external sync input is present). This change was made specifically for applications where two Model 5401 units are being used for failover operation. The "unchecking" of the Sync to External configuration should force a Dante network to reliably switch to the alternate Model 5401. (It's expected that with the current Dante firmware that there will be a a few seconds of audio muting in all devices as the master clock source changes.) New application version also changes default Sync Input Failure Source to Dante.

Version: 1.07
Release Date: 15-Nov-2018
Description: Adds support for Rev B Sync PCB. Enables compensation capacitor on video sync input when SD input detected.

Version: 1.06
Release Date: 20-Sep-2018
Description: Increases PLL (phase-locked loop) phase detector deviation threshold when synchronizing to bi-level analog ("black burst") video sync signals. Adds front-panel display of PLL phase detector deviation.

Version: 1.05
Release Date: 03-May-2018
Description: Default Static IP Address is now 192.168.1.54. Improvements to FTP and HTML performance and reliability. Updated Dante API.

Version: 1.04
Release Date: 07-Dec-2017
Description: Fixes bug that interfered with reboot attempt when Sync Input is unlocked. Minor improvements to FPGA update process.

Version: 1.03
Release Date: 06-Oct-2017
Description: Improves reliability when locking to bi-level video signals. Adds "Sync Input Termination", "Current Subnet Mask", and "Dante Product Version" information to front-panel display. No longer shows Manual (Static) IP address on web page when DHCP is enabled. Link local now uses subnet mask 255.255.0.0.

Version: 1.02
Release Date: 26-Sep-2017
Description: Corrects problem when entering IP address from front panel. (Problem introduced in version 1.01.) Now validates manual IP address before saving. Changes IP Address Configuration labels to "Automatic" and "Manual". No longer uses secondary network link status for management port link status when operating in Redundant Network Configuration. (Changed to support Model 5401 Dante Firmware v1.1.0 and later.) Revises how items are selected and shown on front-panel display.

Version: 1.01
Release Date: 18-Sep-2017
Description: Reordered menu items on Sync webpage. Displays Dante product version on System webpage. Relabeled channels on Generator webpage (Tone01, Tone02, etc.). Adds Dante name to information shown on front-panel display. Removes Gateway and DNS server address from information shown on front-panel display. Reordered information shown on front-panel display. Improves how the Subnet Mask is edited using front-panel buttons.

Version: 1.00
Release Date: 30-Aug-2017
Description: Initial Release.
