Software version 2020043000 introduced significant enhancements to the Receive and video-handling functionality of the Portsdown.
LNB Voltage Switching
For those users who have made G4KLB's LNB Voltage Switching board Serit_LNB_DC_supply, the Portsdown will now switch the supply between "off", 13V and 18V. It will not turn the tone on (as would be required to receive the top end of the commercial Ku Band).
This function can be selected from the "RX", "Config" menu, where the button cycles through 3 states: "LNB Volts Off", "LNB Volts 18 Horiz" (as required for DATV on Es'hail-2) and "LNB Volts 13 Vert". The chosen setting is stored in the configuration file and applied every time receive is selected.
VLC Video Player
The 3 video players available for the receiver are the simple "H264 No Audio" player, "OMX Player", which should display MPEG-2 and H264 signals with audio and the recently introduced "VLC Player".
