Release Notes: Firmware — GEN-1 input module: Type 3P
Software compatibility
Version 1.1.0 of the Type 3P input module firmware is compatible with Nebra software version 2.0.21.
What's new
This firmware release adds support for the new USW-121P, enables AES67 input (including from: Dolby CP950 cinema processor, Qsys Core Nano, BSS Blu-806, other AES67 transmitters), and expands error and warning reporting.
Firmware update procedure
Type 3P input modules include the recently introduced GEN-1 technology. To enable GEN-1 functionality, update the Type 3P input firmware to version 1.1.0.
Note
Performing this firmware update will set all the control point values and other settings of the Type 3P input module to the factory defaults.
Connect the loudspeakers with Type 3P input modules to a computer running Nebra software version 2.0.21.
In Nebra, select Devices from the left panel, right-click the loudspeaker(s) with Type 3P modules, and then select Firmware Update.
When completed, right-click the loudspeaker(s) again and select Reboot device to factory default.
Power cycle the loudspeaker(s).

Added Delay Integration settings for USW-121P
Loudspeaker over temperature protection now includes thermal data from Type 3P input modules
Loudspeakers and amplifier serial numbers are now stored and reported
Implemented Link Group/Isolation/Selection controls
Type 3P input modules now report errors and warning conditions in Nebra
Added AES67 diagnostics and the ability to reset the diagnostic information
System logs can now be downloaded
Type 3P input modules now receive AES67 signals from the Dolby CP950 cinema processor, as expected
The Wink button can now trigger a factory reset for the Type 3P input module
A control has been added to trigger and/or mask the Type 3P module status flags
A control has been added to override the reported Type 3P module temperature to enable testing of over-temperature protection

Bug fixes
Issues related to latency and distortion have been resolved
Latency reduction GUI control removed for USW-121P model — loudspeaker model does not include Bluehorn processing
Known issues
Changing the designated Grand Master may require power cycling the loudspeaker(s) equipped with Type 3P input modules to ensure the Grand Master is updated correctly.
DSP setting changes do not fade — there is a momentary mute/unmute when settings are changed
Some Type 3P module error and warning conditions are not reporting
Type 3P module circuit board hardware revisions and unregulated supply voltages are not reported
Support for the L16 format of AES67 has not been implemented; the L24 format is supported
Atmospheric Correction controls (gain factor, distance) have not been implemented
Milan AVB stream connections are possible but not recommended, as connectivity testing has not been completed. Nebra will enable RTP reception when it configures the Type 3P module, disabling the Milan AVB input source.
The Milan AVB input is not intended to be utilized with this firmware release except for testing. To make a Milan AVB connection to a Type 3P module, connect a Milan AVB stream/channel to the Type 3P module’s Input 1 and disable RTP Reception using an AVDECC controller, like MSCM or Hive.
