    Need Help With DSR-4530 ASI output

    I've not heard back from emuman100, so I do not have the firmware, or the installer. I ultimately had my unit exchanged with one that has firmware that works.  I use the ASI output.  The GigE output worked for a while, then stopped.  I've had to move things around and add another switch to my...

    Need Help With DSR-4530 ASI output

    It seems that the 0x18f.01 version is fine, it is the 00018c:00018f:00000 firmware that sucks.  The two guys that have units that work 0x18f.01, but the FIRMWARE listing has 00018C:008A02:0001C8. I'd be happy to load what you have. The ASI out should also work.  The lock of the ASI out was...

    Need Help With DSR-4530 ASI output

    And the version it reports when booting is: 0x18f.01? If so, supposedly, there is a "secret" method in which to swap firmware banks within the unit and that the ones that aren't working just need to change.  Finding the way to do that change is now being looked for.

    Ah, OK.  Now that makes more sense.  Thanks.

    Need Help With DSR-4530 ASI output

    Well, that sucks.  For me, not you.  The fact that you can set the GigE IP addresses and the streaming addresses + port to use, is not good news. To recap, upon booting you have v 0x18f.01 and after the booting is complete the FIRMWARE display indicates that it is 00018C:00018F:00000 If that...

    Need Help With DSR-4530 ASI output

    What testing did you do to prove that the ASI output works?  Can you set the GigE IP address info?

    At boot up the unit lists the version as 0x18f.01

    Need Help With DSR-4530 ASI output

    Yep, factory reset done.  That allows ASI out to be turned on, or off. The firmware in this unit is 00018C:00018F:00000 Firmware of a really working unit is 00018C:008A02:0001C8 In mine, GigE is not configurable.  All you get is the MAC address for GigE. The ASI out will only pass through...

    Need Help With DSR-4530 ASI output

    Nope.  The firmware is too old.  It seems to be the first release such that GigE is not configurable/usable and ASI out is not fully functional.  A fellow budhead also got one and he has the newer firmware and everything works. Working on getting it exchanged or getting firmware upgrade from...

    Need Help With DSR-4530 ASI output

    I purchased a used DSR-4530 and need to use the ASI output.  But, it appears to be locked off. If you go through the INPUT options and when you get to ASI OUT, the ENABLED setting is: Lock Off I have no idea on how to reset that, as I do not have a manual Is there a way to reset the DSR-4530...

    NBC Feeds

    NBC Network, not an affiliate? More to the point, even if it is a NBC network SD feed (which was supposed to have been halted), it is SD. HD is available on C-band and Ku-band, so why look at old SD?

    Huh? NBC hasn't had an SD mux up there in ages. And it wasn't on AMC6.

    Problem Getting cw's on G17 or getting 97W

    What hasn't been mentioned is that the CW network really isn't on G17, it is on G19/18. The G17 location is a programmed feed for what they call cable 100+, i.e., for cable systems in the 100+ DMA markets that do not have an OTA CW affiliate.

    Please help me redesign my system

    The better way to describe this is that the first three PIDs contain the discrete audio that makes up the DD5.1 AC3. 1) Left/Right 2) Center/LFE 3) Left Surround/Right Surround There is no stereo downmix. There is only a mono downmix on the 4th PID's left channel. For affiliates that...

    An Apology to the FTA Community

    I've been a BUDhead for around 20 years, so none of what has transpired over the years is not new to me. The networks just love me. I might be near the top of 20th Century Fox's public enemy list. It seems I've been mentioned at various broadcast meetings, and not with love either. I get the...
