DATV-Express Project - June update report

Post by KenW6HHC » Fri Jul 01, 2016 1:21 pm

Ken W6HHC reported that the beta Users Guide for the Express-DVB-S_Transmitter software for running on Windows is now available to download from the http://www.DATV-Express.com web site DOWNLOADs page. The Users Guide for Windows (draft04) now includes improvements from one external review (thanks to Mel VK6ER) and I added a small write up on the companion video-management software vMix Basic (free) since it is not intuitive to know what you will want to download when you reach the http://www.vMix.com web site. The NOTES.TXT file (aka README) was also updated on DOWNLOADS page to match v1.11

Array of vMix available products. The free vMix BASIC allows switching 2 cameras, preparing “green screen" video tricks, etc.


The DATV-Express project team was running very low on inventory of hardware boards, so Art WA8RMC purchased components, ordered assemblies, and tested another batch of production DATV-Express boards. Board inventory is full-up again.

Charles G4GUO during June was focusing on supporting beta users of the Express-DVB-S_Transmitter software. Charles prepared beta-release v1.11 to fix some FPGA code that had inadvertently disabled the non-sequenced PTT output line on connector J4. Charles has no other software changes in the queue right now….however there is suspicion that ZADIG may not correctly install LIBUSB.DLL file in a Win7 environment?

Ken plans to continue working with external reviews of the beta User Guide during July.
