A new Hardware Hub firmware release is now available. This firmware is primarily a maintenance update with a larger firmware update scheduled for early-Spring. To request a firmware update to your organization’s Hardware Hub’s please contact your Customer Success Manager. A summary of the updates is provided below.

  1. HDCP Signal Detection
    The Hardware Hub will now detect an inbound HDCP signal and display this within the Devices Source’s tab.

  2. New Disconnection State Alerts
    In instances where a Hardware Hub is disconnected for more than 10 minutes, an alert will be issued. Below are the rules that govern disconnection and re-connection alerts:

    • Hub is Disconnected (more than 10 mins) followed by Hub is Connected (more than 2 mins): Hub notifiers will receive a Hub Reconnected email.
    • Hub is Connected (more than 2 mins) followed by Hub Disconnected (more than 10 mins): Hub notifiers will receive a Hub Disconnected email.
  3. Smaller Improvements
    In instances where a Hardware Hub is disconnected for more than 10 minutes, an alert will be issued. Below are the rules that govern disconnection and re-connection alerts:

    • #167764910 – Hardware Hub – Resolved a rare issue where the stream uploading could stall.
    • #168906970 – Hardware Hub – Improved appliance recovery logic in very rare situations where an abnormal event triggers a crash in the capture card device driver.
    • #169371452 – Hardware Hub – Improved audio alert when the Device’s panel is detecting the appliance’s audio source. Previously it showed an “error detecting signal” rather than the more accurate “searching for signal”-type message.
