Hi All Mede8ers
The long awaited V4 is finally here.
This release has taken a lot longer than we had ever dreamed as we had huge SDK problems with V4 and had to change to a later SDK that also had its share of problems - We are pleased to announce that most problems are now resolved. We think we now have a very fast and responsive release that is very stable under most conditions. We welcome you to try it and give us your feedback.

Reason for two versions
The reason for 2 firmware versions is that the new SDK that we are using has restrictions as foll
1) DD Hardware all will work as it should and you will get 5.1 passthrough on SPDIF from normal 5.1 and HD Audio source material
2) DD+ Hardware will work as it should on HDMI but on SPDIF it will passthrough Core 5.1 from Core 5.1 source fine-- but it will not pass Core 5.1 from HD Audio 5.1 or 7.1 source material
So users who use SPDIF cannot get the benefit of HD Audio (as we know you cannot get HD Audio on SPDIF) and they should use the "NO_HD_AUDIO" version and then they will get normal Dolby 5.1 and DTS from 5.1 source BUT they will also get Core 5.1 Dolby and DTS from HD Audio 5.1 and 7.1 source. If on the other hand they use the version "INC_HD_AUDIO" they will only get 2 ch stereo from HD Audio source.
Summery
DD Hardware = Use either
DD+ Hardware - SPDIF used for audio = use "no HD Audio version"
DD+ Harware - HDMI 1.3 AMP used for audio = use "Inc HD Audio version"
DD+ Hardware - HDMI to TV used for audio = Use either
