This is a small revision over 1.3.5B with input mode additions and fixes:

WXGA 60Hz 1280x800 added. (HDMI & VGA inputs)
WXGA+ 60Hz 1440x900 added. (HDMI & VGA inputs)

In addition to the above fixes/additions the output mode SXGA+ 60Hz 1400x1050 has been changed to match standard VESA timings (previously used IBM timings which are now obsolete).


Known Issues


There are the following known issues in this release, which mainly apply to a Vantage HD with the HDMI 1.3 Expansion Board:

The EDID information supplied to a source connected to the HDMI daughterboard is still only to the HDMI 1.1 standard, so the features that are new in HDMI 1.3 will reported as being not available, even though there will be some HDMI 1.3 feature support in future updates.
Sometimes, audio is lost when the main input is HDMI and an HDMI PIP is enabled which has no input connected (and switched on);
When at switch-on, if both main input and PIP input are from HDMI sources requiring HDCP authentication, the PIP channel may fail to authenticate properly and so keep trying.
Although an extremely rare occurrence with only some combinations of SVGA input source and HDMI daughterboard: when switching from a HDMI daughterboard input to the SVGA input you may find that the SVGA input fails to lock. This can be remedied by selecting a main-board HDMI input and then the SVGA.
SXGA75 and 1080p60 aren’t available on the SVGA graphics input when a HDMI or SDI daughterboard is fitted.
