Changed

• Added Netgear M4350 switch support for AMP Standardized Configuration.

Known Issues

• Affected version: B2.1.2. Decoder video details do not update the Encoder IP address
• Affected version: B2.0.0. 4K24 EDIDs have values that report their native supported format as 4K30
• Affected version: B2.1.0. Source side HDMI changes from a resolution with audio to a different resolution without audio can cause a loss of Display side HDMI audio until the Decoder is rebooted (occurs when an AVR or matrix switch is used to feed an Encoder)
• Workaround for Control4 Universal GC IR driver (TCP:4998)

• channel 0 command on Encoder does not set channel to 0. Channels 1-9999 work as expected. This would affect Multicast systems being converted to VLAN, as AMP will not apply the command correctly

  • Reboot required: This command saves the setting and reboots the Encoder. Applying it interrupts that source.

    Execute astparam s ch_select 0000;astparam save;reboot on each Encoder
• VERSION_READ does not report the microcode version. It gives a line-break error, so it is not possible to check the microcode status.
