New CitDISK HD Firmware (Release 4), Long-Form Recording Fix for CDHD-120

[Richard@ProCon]

Hi everyone,

Quick update on the CitiDISK HD. We're going to release a new firmware revision in the next couple of days to resolve some lingering issues. Most noteably, this release is part of the fix for long-form recording on the 120gb models. Please send me a PM or email if you want to be on my distribution list so you get the firmware once its released. I will post full release notes once I have them.

For all current CDHD-120 Owners: We have fixed the long-form record issues on the CDHD-120 starting a couple weeks ago with a combination of a firmware fix and a faster hard drive. Shining Technology is replacing all the older CDHD-120 hard drives with the new faster ones FOR FREE. Please contact Chris at Shining Technology to arrange your free replacement hard drive and firmware upgrade. His contact email is cwang@shining.com.

As always, feel free to contact me with any questions.

Call Chris Wang at Shining Tech, 714-761-9598. They're getting lots of emails from people who need upgrades, please be patient

On that note, the final Version 4 firmware release is out and works very nicely according to my customers who have it.

Still no MXF file support, though? A shame.

You're right, its a shame that MXF isnt a reality on the CitiDISK yet. I've been waiting for it myself. Fortunately, the crew at Shining is releasing firmware updates on a pretty regular basis. I'm sure MXF is not too far out on the horizon.
