FIRMWARE "C3D9"
Date: 05/12/2016

Recorder FW REV LCD: 05C3D910320E06
Codec FW REV LCD: 130 0C4 D10B
Host FW REV LCD: C21203406

New Feature
1. Deep Format: SSD health monitoring has been added to this release. When SSD is detected there's a need to perform SSD optimization, LCD will display message asking the user to do "Deep Format", ensuring that disk read or write performance will meet the requirement. When the user agrees to "Deep Format", the recorder FW fills 0 to disk byte by byte so it takes longer time to complete. The user can choose to ignore "Deep Format" and continues to operate HDR-60/70 in poor disk performance at his own risk.
2. HDD S.M.A.R.T. bad sector info: HDD health monitoring has been added to this release. When bad sectors has been detected, LCD is going display warning message. User can choose to ingore warning message and continue to operate HDR-60/70 in poor disk performance at his own risk.
3. Gen-lock cross reference: This new feature allows HDR-60/70 to accept black burst as reference signal when playing in HD. 
4. New bit-rate selection: 80 Mb/s I-frame only
5. When the user presses record button and the system detects that input format is not matced to current BIN format, the system will seek another empty BIN and start the record process at the empty BIN.
6. Clip information display is changed to "CLIP XX/YY" where XX is the current clip number and YY is the total number of clips in the current BIN.
7. New commands in RS-232/RS-422:
  a. available record time
  b. total number of clips in current BIN


Bug Fix
1. Fix potential unexpected disk power down during record
2. Fix potential codec error state when the mode switching transition is too short
3. Fix incorrect file time-stamp with leap year date
4. Fix unexpected audio noise in ch 5, 6, 7, 8 when play right after record
5. Make recording process more robust
6. Add fixes in MXF wrapper for AMA link MXF file into Avid MC v.8.x (4:2:2 only)
7. Fix RTC inaccuracy issue

11. Fix occasionally no response to RS-232/RS-422 commands during particular operations:
  a. Bin select
  b. Reset codec
