Product: ClearView 5.8SD Video Receiver [10]
Production Status: Active
Product Notes:
The latest version branch is at the top of the list which is typically the branch that newly manufactured units are shipped with. There are additional development steps that must happen to create specific update images from factory firmware to ensure everything is backward compatible with previous versions. For this reason, there is often a delay from the time production issues a new version until there is an update image available from this site. If you have an older version that does not have an update image feel free to request one. The squeaky wheel does get the grease. Just email to the link below and provide the version information for your unit. Complete version information for your unit is shown on the hint line in the user menu. For the Race versions, this information shows when the 'SETUP' menu option is highlighted. For the Professional versions, this information shows when the 'POWER DOWN RECEIVER' menu option is highlighted.

37		OEM versions only
36	5.36D [CSUM:8D22C7CB:C0C70594]	OEM version only.
35	5.35A [CSUM:313D0FE9:1B1E60B5] 6.35B [CSUM:8B82992C:C0C70594]
34	5.34A [CSUM:3F3262A5:1418F3C5] 6.34B [CSUM:6D11F762:1418F3C5]	Fix bug with white noise reduction on version K hardware.
33	5.33A [CSUM:39F55791:1418F3C5] 6.33A [CSUM:6682F5D3:1418F3C5]	Fixes a problem with power management in which some units would lock up. Fixes the 32 branch limit. Improves performance and stability in weak signal environments. FWUpdater_6x is required to support the higher branch number.
32	5.32A [CSUM:27571F8D:A995FF62] 6.32B [CSUM:56CAD43F:A995FF62]	Fixed bug with OSD freeze when manual camera format change. Fix signal enhance for weak signal under new coefficient scheme. This version needs at least FWUpdater ver 6.1 or later to update to any later version. This version will report as 7.00 instead of 6.32 when updating. Once updated, the normal 6.xx version sequence is restored.
31	5.31A [CSUM:2B420301:A995FF62] 6.31B [CSUM:5AB5B6AA:A995FF62]	Several Updates for better strong signal performance with overdriven video. New PAL vs NTSC switching.
30	5.30A [CSUM:252CFEC0:851F800B] 6.30B [CSUM:5DEF98B9:851F800B]	Software adj for newest build which improves strong signal performance by reducing switching artifacts. Added advanced menu for controlling icon and noise sensitivity.
29		Only update to this version if instructed by Iftron to do so. This is a patch only, not a full version branch. This is used for a few shipped versions with incorrect firmware check sums. This condition was caused by new programming tools at Iftron that did not clear unused flash space in the programmed object. Though this produces no ill effects in terms of operation, it wreaks havoc with the clearview firmware update scheme. This patch restores the flash to a known state so that it can be updated to a later version.
