Ver 36.51

New Features

1. Main-line recording onto an SDXC/SDHC memory card available on the market, which is supposed to be for use in an urgent situation, has so far been restricted to the codecs at 50Mbps or less. But, to meet the users’ demand, this restriction is removed.
   However, that is not to guarantee the recording and playback operations with SDXC/SDHC memory cards.
2. Tally control from external devices (e.g. AK-HRP200 ROP) is supported.
   No menus are newly added. This feature works according to the current Tally menu.
   REC_TALLY (Serial communication & IP communication supported)
3. The following dongle are supported.
   WLAN :D-Link DWA-171(Australia) , LTE :Verizon USB730L (US)

Improvement

1. The related menus are not displayed so that microP2 B cards are not CPS-formatted by mistake.
2. The cameras are designed to start installing the firmware update immediately after it is downloaded via P2 Cast, and an improvement is made to this current design. Menu item “Download Only” is added. This menu item can temporarily end the update process once the download is complete when the update command is received from P2 Cast.
3. In UDP transmission, the communication process of streaming format is improved.
4. P2 SS becomes unable to be connected, and this problem is fixed.
5. Improvement in stability at boot-up
6. System error may occur on rare occasions under the specific conditions, and this problem is fixed.

   AJ-WM50MC (China only) PLANEX GW-900D (Japan only)
