Release Notes
IMPORTANT: Avid DNxHD requires activation – see right.
If you only need to use Apple ProRes, there is no need to activate the Avid DNxHD codec.
NEW FEATURES/BUG FIXES:
-
Added support for Avid DNxHD 36. (NB: this is only available for 1080p, as defined by the SMPTE VC-3 AvidDNxHD Spec, and not for 1080i or 720p)
-
Added support for playback of Avid DNxHD files from NLEs or other recorders (eg: AJA, Sound Devices & Blackmagic Design)
-
Added support for file recovery of Avid DNxHD movies
-
Fixed an issue where it was not possible to use File Recovery when the ‘Recover Later’ option had been selected
-
Added ‘Recover Later’ option from playback file list
-
Re-calibrated audio (fixes -12dBFS premature clipping issue)
-
AtomOS firmware update indicates “Please wait…” during updating (replacing Atomos logo)
-
Fixed an issue with DNxHD where the last scanline of some frames were encoded incorrectly
- Updated DNxHD codec names in main display to show: 220x, 220, 145 and 36
- Camera trigger must be set to “None/Timecode” before rolling timecode trigger can be enabled. The rolling timecode trigger enable button is grayed out for all other camera triggers. This should prevent capture of multiple files
- Fixed issue preventing emergency firmware upgrade from running
UPDATE PROCEDURE
- Download and unzip (if necessary) the ATOMxxx.FW file
- Copy the file onto a recommended, formatted drive, using the docking station included with your recorder
- Insert the drive into the Atomos recorder

- Updating will take a few minutes
- Once completed, the Atomos recorder will power down
- Power up the Atomos recorder again
