[MM Logo] Release Notes for Multimedia Services V2.4A for DIGITAL UNIX October 1997 Copyright 1993, 1997 by Digital Equipment Corporation All Rights Reserved DIGITAL Digital Equipment Corporation Maynard, Massachusetts Preface This document contains the release notes for Multimedia Services V2.4A for DIGITAL UNIX (MMS). This document contains information which became available too late to be included in the official product documentation. Please read these release notes thoroughly before attempting to install or use MMS V2.4A. Patch Release Information This release is a patch to Multimedia Services V2.4 for DIGITAL UNIX. The purpose of this patch is to fix a serious problem in Alphavcr exposed by the DIGITAL UNIX V4.0D release. Previous releases of Alphavcr will "hang" as soon as you select "Live Mode" if you attempt to run them on DIGITAL UNIX V4.0D. A system panic caused by the mmsess kernel driver (DIGITAL Personal Workstation au series audio driver) that could occur once, immediately after the installation of MMS V2.4, if the system was not rebooted, has also been fixed. A problem in the mmsess kernel driver in which a kernel configuration database field (Microphone_Preamp_Enable) would fail to initialize properly has been "worked around" by rearranging the order of the fields. The occurrence of this problem had been accompanied by an error message on the system console. If your system is not displaying a console message containing the string "mmsess0:Unknown attribute:", then your system is not experiencing this problem. None of the documentation for MMS V2.4, other than these Release Notes, have been modified, and, for the most part, only this Patch Release Information section has been added. Associated Documents MMS includes several related documents. Some documents are available on the distribution media and some are available in subsets for on-line installation. File name extensions use the following conventions: .txt ASCII text .ps Post Script .html HTML. See below for instructions for viewing HTML files with web browsers. .Z Compressed. These files must first be uncompressed using uncompress(1) or zcat(1).

New Features in this Release This updated version of MMS includes all enhancements made in the special release of Multimedia Services for the Personal Workstation au Series. New features and enhancements made since MMS V2.2 include: Support for access to the audio through the MMS api Support for volume and port New Platform Personal Workstation control through AudioControl Support (Built-In) Audio Device Support for audio through AlphaVCR Kernel driver database support for mixer gain control Enhanced The Personal Workstation Audio Documentation Programmer's Guide Device is described in Section B.5. Problems Fixed and Changes in this Release Problems fixed and changes made since MMS V2.2 include: The Microsoft Sound Board Kernel Driver AS255 Audio MSB Kernel Driver patch has been included in this release. The audio output sounded like white noise on some of the AlphaStation 255's. A problem with support of binary Personal compatibility for waveform audio Workstation au MMEserver Driver applications built prior to MMS V2.0 was Audio fixed. One such application was the layered product DIGITAL Speech Recognition Services (DSRS). A problem with the decompression of an Codecs Indeo image with a width less than 160 bytes was fixed. The following man pages were added or corrected: wave[In|Out]FormatDetails, Man Pages wave[In|Out]GetDevCapsEx, wave[In|Out]GetFormatInfo, wave[In|Out]GetPorts, wave[In|Out]SelectPorts Sample Code audioselectports A new switch -disableport has been provided. Reimplemented the use of stdin as a valid Sample Code audioplay input filename for audioplay (i.e. audioplay -file - ) Support for all audio sample rates provided through the wave api has been AlphaVCR added. Support for the Personal Workstation au audio device has been added. New switches, -svideo525 and -svideo625, have been provided. Known Problems This section lists the known problems with this release of MMS. General Problems and Restrictions * If there is less than 64M of memory in a system with a FullVideo Supreme option, DIGITAL UNIX V3.2C or later must be running. Earlier versions of the operating system may result in system panics at boot time. * The ZLX-E* graphics device X server libraries can experience a segmentation fault under some conditions. One such condition is from using the following sample code and command line arguments: vidstreamin -framesize fullframe -standard pal -fieldmode both For large windows on a ZLX-E* devices, DIGITAL UNIX V3.2C and Open3D V3.0 or later are required for a fix. * The multimedia functions of the PowerStorm graphics boards are no longer supported. Installation Problems and Restrictions This section lists the known problems with the installation for this release of MMS. * If you install the MMEDRVMMSESS subset, and then do not reboot the kernel prior to starting MMS, then the system may crash with the panic string "BAD SYSMAP VALUE". A message is displayed during installation to warn the user of this problem. * A kernel rebuild may fail on a DIGITAL UNIX V4.x system under the following circumstances: The MMEDRVMSB subset (Microsoft Sound Board driver) for a previous version of MMS is installed, and then is later deleted (without being upgraded to a newer version). The problem is caused by a "controller msb0 at *" line in the kernel config file (/sys/conf/`hostname`). If this occurs, the simplest solution is to manually remove the "controller msb0 at *" line, and then reinstall MMS. The installation for MMS V2.4A has been changed not to add the "controller msb0 at *" line to a DIGITAL UNIX V4.x system, since it is not needed. * When installing the MMEDRVBBA subset, the checks for machine bus type may warn the installer that no TURBOchannel bus is present but the subset will still install on a non-TURBOchannel machine if the installer decides to continue. * It is possible that an installation of MMS for a diskless system (DMS) may not work. CDE Problems and Restrictions This section lists the known problems with the MMERTCDE subset and the CDE desktop for this release of MMS. * With versions of CDE prior to that shipped with UNIX 4.0, if you place icons on the front panel and then install a new version of the MMS kit, the icons on the front panel still use the previous release's directory paths instead of the general paths that should be used to reference icons. In order to remedy the problem, remove all MMS icons from the front panel and then re-add them again after installing the new MMS kit. This has been fixed in the UNIX 4.0 version of CDE. * During the MMS installation, the MMS installation scripts attempt to update the icons and actions on the desktop so that the new MMS icons and actions are immediately available. This update sometimes causes the CDE window manager (dtwm) to exit. On DIGITAL UNIX V4.0 this only occurs if there are icons for Multimedia actions installed in the front panel. On earlier (ADK) versions of CDE, this problem occurs intermittently. The problem can be remedied by restarting /usr/dt/bin/dtwm or by logging out and restarting the CDE session. * This MMS kit installs a documentation bookshelf to help reference all MMS documentation from a single point. The file is installed as /usr/opt/MME241/html_docs/MultimediaServices.html and appears in the Multimedia program group in the CDE application manager. There are no default HTML actions in versions of CDE prior to the version shipped with UNIX 4.0 so clicking on this file will only activate the text viewer. You can still use a web browser to view this file. * If the CDE desktop does not have enough free available colors when you install the MMERTCDE subset, the newly available multimedia icons on the desktop may not be visible. It has been noted that color rich applications, such as Netscape, exhaust a large number of colormap resources. This results in problems with other graphical applications. For example, the user may notice that icons normally displayed by the CDE Application Manager are not displayed when a color rich application is currently running on the system. The simplest solution is to exit the color rich application. There are several alternate actions: 1. This is a visual problem and it may not be necessary to take any corrective actions. For example, the CDE icon labels can be used in the same manner as the icon for actions such as drag-and-drop, single and double click. 2. Use the CDE Style Manager Color application to select the Number of Colors used by the desktop or an application. 3. If supported, set an application resource to limit color usage or start the application with a flag that controls color map installation. Refer to the application documentation for further details. In the case of Netscape two work-arounds are available. 1. Use Netscape's maxImageColors resource to limit the number of colors that Netscape uses. A suggested limit is 96. You can do this by placing the following line in the $HOME/.Xdefaults file: Netscape*maxImageColors: 96 2. start Netscape with the -install flag, which specifies that Netscape should install its own colormap. Although this is supported, there are side affects such as: a. Noticable application and background color changes when focus is moved in and out of the Netscape window. b. Inability to clearly view the contents of the Netscape window when focus is moved out of the Netscape window. Waveform Audio Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the waveform audio services along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * The volume reported through the waveIn/OutGetVolume is slightly less than the volume set through the waveIn/OutSetVolume for the Personal Workstation Audio, the Sound and Motion J300 Audio, and the MSB. * When recording audio, ensure that the recording volume is set at an optimal level because if the input volume is high (either due to a setting or due to the input source), the recording might be distorted. Use the VU Meter in Audio Control to check if input volumes exceed the amplitude levels that the device is capable of handling without distortion. * When recording data, if applications do not queue buffers to the mmeserver before the data is available for recording, the audio devices must handle the data in some manner. The different audio devices do not handle this condition in the same way. BBA Device This device maintains a cache of the last four seconds of data and will insure that no data is lost as long as buffers are received before data is discarded. If data is discarded, the BBA device will return buffers of silence equal in length to the amount of data discarded. To make sure that buffers are always filled with current data, instead of older data, the application may issue a waveInStop, waveInReset, and a waveInStart to cause the BBA to discard old data and begin recording current data again. Personal Workstation Audio, MSB, and Sound and Motion J300 Devices These devices will discard data if there are no application buffers available for recording, always keeping the data returned current. Personal Workstation Built-in Audio Problems and Restrictions The Personal Workstation Built-In Audio support has the following problems and restrictions: * None. Microsoft Sound Board/AlphaStation Audio Problems and Restrictions The Microsoft Sound Board/AlphaStation Audio (MSB) support has the following problems and restrictions: * None. Sound and Motion J300 Audio Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the audio services for the Sound and Motion J300 device. * The Sound and Motion J300 audio crackles when the volume is changed, if the device is already opened by an application. Baseboard Audio Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the audio services for the Baseboard audio device. * When playing linear PCM encoded data on the BBA, there appear to be dropouts at the beginning or end of each buffer. ACM Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the Audio Compression Manager (ACM) along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * None. J300, AV321, and AV301 Video Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the video capture services for the Sound and Motion J300, the FullVideo Supreme, and the FullVideo Supreme JPEG devices along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * Video capture (vidstreamin) on the FullVideo Supreme can become jittery when the simultaneous playing back of JPEG data (vidplay) stops. The problem can be resolved by either resizing or restarting the capture window. * When recording with dual buffers (viddualrecord and AlphaVCR) on the Sound and Motion J300 or the FullVideo Supreme JPEG option, tearing may occur on the video output images. Scaling beyond the input image size will most likely result in this condition. J300 and AV321 Video Codec Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the video codec services for the Sound and Motion J300 and the FullVideo Supreme JPEG devices along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * With the FullVideo Supreme with JPEG option, simultaneously compressing YUV to JPEG (avicompress) and capturing video data (vidstreamin) will cause random noise to be inserted into the captured data. Note that dual capture (viddualrecord), where the video frame is capture in JPEG/MJPG and Ximage/YUV does not suffer from this problem. * Due to a hardware limitation, the highest quality factor for JPEG compression on the AV321 is 8984. All quality factors from 8985 to 10000 will be treated as 8984 when encoded the JPEG data and you will not be able to see any quality improvement as values rise above 8984. This information replaces the information in the Multimedia Services for DIGITAL UNIX Programmer's Guide V2.4A document in section B.1.5.8. AV201 Video Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the video capture services for the FullVideo Basic AV201 device along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * When capturing an image larger than the size of one field, two fields are interlaced into a frame, and the frame is then scaled (down) to the requested image size. A problem exists in that the two fields being interlaced may sometimes be from two succeeding frames (rather than a single frame) from the input video signal. This may produce an image with temporal distortions. Software JPEG Codec Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the video codec services for the Software JPEG codec along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * None. Software Indeo Codec Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the video codec services for the Software Indeo codec along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * No known current problems. Software H.261 Codec Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the video codec services for the Software H.261 codec along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * The H.261 compressor generates some artifacts for video input which has a border within the image frame data (i.e. letterbox movie clips). The motion estimation algorithm is optimized for live clips with no border present in frames. We recommend that you increase the motion vector threshold to the maximum possible to reduce artifacts with this type of input. AlphaVCR Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the AlphaVCR applet along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * While selecting an audio format on the Audio pane (of the Options/Preferences screen), all formats will not be shown if Alphavcr currently has a file open. Only formats compatible with the current audio format in use will be displayed. It is recommended that you select an audio format before opening or displaying files, since Alphavcr will usually keep open the last file used. * While using the Audio pane (of the Options/Preferences screen), the "Format" line may become blank. Reselecting the "Device" selection pulldown button will redisplay the "Format" line. * While recording, you may receive the message: "Audio chunk of ... bytes too big for buffer of ... bytes." The cause of this message has not yet been determined. You will need to re-record your file. * When stepping backwards while playing an MPEG file, the correct frame may not be displayed. * Some noise may be played at the end of an MPEG file. * AlphaVCR does not support recording without an audio device. * The audio and video may not be synchronized properly when in Live mode, recording a file, and while playing MPEG files. * After long periods (30 minutes) of using Live Video with the Baseboard Audio Device, the audio output may go silent. * When playing an Indeo format file, incorrect frames may be displayed. * Saving frames of a file while playing to the video output device will not save the correct frames. Save the frames while playing to the screen instead. * When saving frames from a YUV or 24-bit Ximage file, the display image size must be "Default" or the saved image will be bad. * Frames saved while using the "Full Screen" display image size will be incorrect. * Saving frames while recording a mono JPEG file, or while playing an 8-bit Ximage file with a private colormap, the image saved will be all black. * When using a private colormap with AlphaVCR, the colormap is not always loaded when the video window has focus causing incorrect colors in the video image. * Changing the CDE desktop colors while running AlphaVCR may change the colors in the video window. If so, you must restart AlphaVCR to correct the colors. * AlphaVCR may hang when a file is continuously played for long periods of time. The buttons on the GUI can still be pressed, but nothing will happen. If you then try to open another file, the application will hang and you'll need to kill the process. * When using AlphaVCR to convert files (Save As), AlphaVCR will remain locked until the conversion is complete. While AlphaVCR may appear to be hung, it will return to user control when conversion completes. * Selecting Video Out & Screen from the Playback options while playing a file will not take effect until the next file is played. * AlphaVCR V2.2 and V2.3 consume slightly more CPU cycles than previous versions. On machines where 100% of the CPU was being used, slower frame rates may be observed. Video Odyssey Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the Video Odyssey applet along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * Video Odyssey cannot play mono JPEG format files. DECsound Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the DECsound applet along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * Accessing the DECsound on-line Bookreader help may print out many unaligned access messages. These messages can be ignored. Transcode Problems and Restrictions This section describes problems and restrictions in the Transcode applet along with work-arounds for the problems where known. * Although all MPEG files generated by the Transcode application can be played with AlphaVCR, there are other MPEG decoders which may not support MPEG Systems data streams (which contain both audio and video) and will not be able to play the Systems format files generated by Transcode. Specify MPEG Video format (-noaudio) as the output format for Transcode when interfacing with these decoders. Sample Code Problems and Restrictions * None. Installation Guide Problems The following is information that is incorrect or missing from the Multimedia Services for DIGITAL UNIX Installation Guide V2.4A document. * None. Application User's Guide Problems The following is information that is incorrect or missing from the Multimedia Services for DIGITAL UNIX Application User's Guide V2.4A document. * None Programmer's Guide Problems The following is information that is incorrect or missing from the Multimedia Services for DIGITAL UNIX Programmer's Guide V2.4A document. * None Major Notes from Previous Releases The Major Notes from Previous Releases document contains supplemental release notes for MMS. This document contains critical release notes from previous releases. If you are upgrading from a version of MMS prior to V2.0, you may not have access to these important notes for intermediate versions of MMS. Please read these supplemental notes thoroughly before attempting to install or use MMS V2.4A. Note that this supplement is only available if you install the MMERELNOTES subset.
