Updated features in this firmware release:

• Fixed audio compatibility issues with some equipment. HD-SDI audio output is now fully SMPTE compliant.


• Fixed playback lockup due to incompatibility with some HDDs.


• Improved touchscreen lock user interface. Touchscreen locked/unlock information window briefly displayed when locking or unlocking the touchscreen or when a locked touchscreen is touched.


• Fixed initialisation bug with SDI start/stop flag record triggering. SDI start/stop flag record triggering was not configured when the Samurai booted.

Added features in previous (2.7) firmware release:

• Serial remote control and monitoring of Samurai recording functions via LANC interface. This is in addition to the existing LANC function. Contact support for serial remote control specification and documentation.


• Added touchscreen locking. Use the power button to enable and disable touchscreen locking.

Updated features in previous (2.7) firmware release:

• Improved handling of SDI inputs with glitches/jitter/other instabilities. This addresses problems with green/blue/pink video in recordings.


• SDI start/stop flag record triggering. Added a control to configure SDI start/stop flag triggering for cameras that support SDI start/stop flags. For cameras that do not support SDI start/stop flags or to prevent false triggering use this control to disable this function.
