2.0 Changes, Issues and Limitations
2.1 Electra 09.05.02.106 / NMX 5.5.4.127 is a maintenance release.
This maintenance release has been created to deal with a hardware variance due to supply issue
with one of the hardware components. One of the “S3” FPGAs used on the compression boards of
the Electra 8100 & Electra 8200 series of encoders encountered supply issues. Due to the restricted
supply Harmonic developed an alternative “S4” replacement FPGA variant. The FPGA HW change
necessitated the use of updated embedded SW build to provide support for both S3 and S4
equipped Electra 8000 encoders. This updated embedded SW build will recognize and support
both S3 and S4 versions. The S3 and S4 equipped Electra 8000 encoders are operationally
equivalent* to each other and can be identified as follows:
S3 Equipped Part
Number
ELC8100 ELC-81x0-HW-AC/DC-L-02 or older
ELC8200 ELC-82x0-HW-AC/DC-L-04 or older
S4 Equipped Part
Number
ELC8100 ELC-81x0-HW-AC/DC-L-06
ELC8200 ELC-82x0-HW-AC/DC-L-06
*Note: The S3 and S4 equipped Electra 8000 encoders are operationally equivalent with the
following minor exception. This code has an impact to the WSS Line Killer feature (625 line
applications). There are two modes of operation with the WSS Line Killer feature, when enabled all
S4 units will overwrite the WSS video lines with lines with black video data. The S3 will behave
similarly with NMX 5.6 code but with NMX5.5 and earlier version the WSS Line Killer will overwrite
the WSS video lines with the video line directly below the lines containing WSS data.
Also note that the S4 encoders will not be correctly identified if non-patch code is loaded onto the
encoder. The patch code is therefore a must for S4 encoders

Harmonic Encoders are feature rich platforms that use firmware licensing to provide the desired set of
features that the application requires. These licenses typically appear as “FW-xxx” items and can be
seen on the license tab of the web interface as well as the purchase order or sales order. Some
hardware models can only perform one operation and as such, the license is not a separate entity.
However, for products like our Electra 8000 or FLEX Decoder, it has the capacity to do many
operations and these require the proper “FW-xxx” licenses.
The licenses define the platform functionality and in this release the licenses are now enforced per
previous legal agreements. Licensed features need the appropriate license. Without the license the
service will not be able to enable feature and an alarm will be asserted that identifies this problem. If
the missing license state has been reached by mistake then a temporary “one time only” wildcard
license can be used to provide time to get the proper licenses purchased and/or installed.
Note: In this release, only Electra 8000 or FLEX based systems enforce licensing.
The following table provides the FW licenses, their description and details on quantity and capacity
per license.

The enhancement applies to AIC only. In case of silence insertion as part of
robust Dolby Digital pass-through, encoder will choose to insert 2.0 or 5.1
9.5.2.106 silence frames according to the mode of the last valid Dolby Digital frame.
2.3 Known Issues

Following is a list of significant known problems for this release
PR 83383 - For RAC or onboard audio processing cards, the configuration of MPG1L2
compression and path-through is not supported
Workaround: do not provision MP1L2 compression and path-through service on the same
compression card
PR 83547 – Supporting ANYxxx licenses causes the license count display on SAG to be
incorrect
To support the new "ANYxxx" licenses, the encoder will detect this "ANY" string and treat it as a
global enable, like a SPARE. Because of that, the license count shown on SAG will be incorrect.
PR 81996 – (License) Adding/Deleting the wild card license triggers a one second silence
insertion on all audio streams
If a license has expired or has been deleted while services are still flowing, adding a wild card
license might trigger a one second service interruption on the video and audio streams. After this
interruption, all services should flow normally.
Workaround: Apply valid licenses before expiration of any temporary licenses.
PR 83780 - Setting the Still Picture Rate above the maximum or below the minimum Bitrate
will cause a bandwidth oversubscription and CC errors in the entire transport

Workaround: Set the bandwidth properly within the Minimum and Maximum Bitrate
PR 81906 – Electra 8000: Disabling main video causes LRV to freeze up to 3 seconds and
then recovers on its own.
PR 82937 – Currently the extraction of AC3 audio is not supported fully, and is recognized
as data stream.
Workaround: Delete the stream and create manually.
PR 83286 – FLEX with LRV: Changing "insert PCR" properties on one of the 2nd channels
coming from the same video card on Elc-8xxx, will result in stream underflow for all audio
stream and video loss of signal.
Workaround: Restore previous settings. Changes should be done with full re-provision.
PR 81829 – A/V sync is out of range for HE-AAC compression on AIC card.
For MPEG-4 HE AAC and MPEG-2 HE AAC encoding with low bitrates (under 144 kbps), the A/V
sync might be slightly off (between 50 ms to 60ms) if using AIC card. Rare startup cases might
bring the AV SYNC to be off by 90 ms (seen only once)
Workaround: Reset the AIC card or the encoder will stabilize the AV sync around 50 ms (If the AV
sync was off by 90 ms). The work around will be to adjust the AV sync with the delay adjustment
parameter.
PR 81681 – FLEX audio decode: rad stops decoding frames when sampling frequency on
the input source is equal to 32 KHz (AC-3).
FLEX cannot properly handle AC-3 32 kHz decoding only when the bitrates is strictly higher than
576 kbps.
Workaround: set the audio decode AC-3 640 kbps at 44.1KHz, or AC-3 576 kbps (or below) at 32
KHz.
PR 80500 – On SAG, if the user goes to the Decoder (FLEX) slot 4/ SDI Port page, on the
general tab the GUI shows a "Test Output" section.
These set of parameters does not have any effects on the GUI. (Changing the Mode or the Video
Standard will not do anything on the encoder)

PR 80454 - FLEX audio decode: AAC vs MPEG mismatch is not detected

If the user provision the FLEX encoder with AAC audio streams and set the audio decode mode on
the GUI to be MPEG1-L2, no alarm will be raised to warn the user of the format mismatch.
Workaorund - The right format should be set when doing FLEX audio decode.
PR 80462 – FLEX audio decode: bad duplicate group/pair handling interrupts the FLEX
video/audio output when changing parameters
When the system has be configured improperly and more than one audio decode stream is output
as the same group/pair setting, the audio and video could be disrupted. This can happen due to
accepting the default group/pair (1/1) on multiple audio streams. This system will recover when this
erroneous state has been corrected and properly provisioned.
Workaround: The user should make sure each audio decode stream outputs on a unique
group/pair setting.
PR 80463 – (FLEX audio decode) missing alarm when trying to decode the same audio input
pid
If trying to decode the same audio input pid multiple times, no alarm will be raised on NMX 5.4
release.
This feature is not yet supported on NMX 5.4 release. No work around.
Workaorund: The user should decode different audio pids as this is not a supported feature on
NMX 5.4.
PR 78545 – FLEX module - No "Sustained Mpeg2 Packet loss" alarm is asserted when
passing data PID without PES header with PTS Data re-stamping enabled
If user provisions PTS Data re-stamping enabled and the stream does not have PTS, the packets
will be dropped with no alarm

PR 73620 – FLEX audio decode: some provisioning corner cases can lead to the inability to
create more than 2-3 audio decode streams on a FLEX card.
WorkAround: To switch between the mode where audio decode is available only on port1 to the
mode where audio decode is available on both ports, either:
1) Delete all audio decode streams, then create the desired audio decode streams
2) Deactivate the service configuration or the output transport stream make the audio stream
changes, and activate the service configuration or the output transport stream
PR 74297 - FLEX audio decode: CC errors keep being asserted sometimes on some audio
decode streams (output pid: re-encoded audio).
In some cases when there are more than 15 audio streams (pass through + decode) with high/low
bitrates and different sample frequencies, different formats... disabling / enabling programs or
audio streams can sometimes result in CC errors that keep getting asserted on only one of the
stream (generally the one with the lowest bitrate).
WorkAround: Disable / Enable the audio stream that causes an issue should resolve this.
PR 75610 – “Dropped MPEG packets due to IP datagram error” alarm with duplicate time
stamps.
It has been seen on some rare cases involving change of bitrates (disable the transport stream,
disable any video/any streams) that the following alarm gets asserted: Dropped MPEG packets
due to IP datagram error
Workaround: deactivate service configuration, wait about 10 seconds for the alarm to get remitted.
Reactivate service configuration.
PR 76658 – FLEX audio decode: noisy audio when doing a format mis-configuration
If the user configures the FLEX decoder to decode MPEG1-L2 mono decode but has an AC-3 5.1
input, a noisy audio will be audible on the FLEX sdi output. Some other mis-configuration can
result in a noisy audio.
Workaround: The user should specify the right audio decode format, and desired coding mode.
PR 76810 - FLEX audio decode: decoding and re-encoding AC-3 5.1 raises an input stream
provision failure alarm: AC-3 5.1 encoding is not supported on on-board
When configuring the encoder to do AC-3 5.1 encoding on on-board audio card, the alarm raised
will be: Input Stream Provision Failure.
10/11/10 Release 9.5.2.106

Workaround: Do not encode AC-3 5.1 on on-board
PR 74796 – automatically clear alarm when performance limitation is resolved

The system will assert alarm when user provisions too many streams with dynamic audio
adjustment. The alarm will be asserted on the last provisioned steam. If user resolves the problem
by changing provisioning on the "not-alarmed" stream, the alarmed stream will remain in alarmed
state.
Workaround: Resolve the conflict and re-provision the alarmed stream
PR 76678 - FLEX audio decode:“Stopped audio decoding - Multichannel detected but down
mix not enabled” alarm get raised for a format configured properly.
If the user incorrectly formats the audio configuration (for example MPEG1-L2input and configure
the FLEX decoder to do AC-3 stereo decode), a misleading alarm can be raised. (such as:
downmix is not enabled)
Workaround: The user should properly configure the system.
PR 74838 - FLEX audio decode: Under rare circumstances, enabling one or more programs
that include a high count of audio passthru / decode streams may trigger an unexpected

PR 73149 - (FLEX DPI Pass thru) Encoder does not reject multiple DPI pass thru
If the input source has multiple DPI PID‟s, only one DPI pass thru stream should be added to the
output program. Current Electra encoders only support one DPI stream: either pass thru or
encoding only DPI.
Workaround: Delete multiple DPI output PID‟s from the output program before activating the
service configuration or delete multiple DPI input PID‟s before adding the program to the output will
avoid the provisioning error.

Under certain video transitional sequences like black to noise, the LRV bit stream may temporarily
not be buffer compliant (underflow) if the GOP settings are M=3 and fixed GOP. Typically, the LRV
is sent as a baseline profile so M=1 is the preferred setting.
There are two possible workarounds, depending on the customer‟s needs. The customer can run
with M=1 which is the normal baseline profile and the compliance issue will not occur. Likewise, if
the customer desires M=3, they should not choose fixed GOP. Both solutions been tested to

PR 40738: Multi-channel encoder package upgrade via NMX TFTP server fails
Multi-channel software upgrades from NMX are being performed using a web server on the NMX
server machine. As backward compatibility for old Ion versions, the upgrade will fall back to TFTP
mode in case the HTTP download fails. The embedded software is packaged differently for each of
the download modes: the standard build is used for web downloads, while the „base‟ build is used
for TFTP. If the system falls back to TFTP mode, the encoder will still try to download the standard
package and fail. To work-around the problem, change the desired software version on the device

recommend that the underlying network issue be resolved so that HTTP (web) downloads will occur
successfully.
