RELEASE 4.33
============      

Corrections in 4.33 since 4.32
==============================

4.33:C01 Corrected serious startup issue in the products using module firmware 1.08.
	 Symptoms were typically no video and/or bad controlability.
         Please check the firmware version stored into the 
         'PTZ.UserAdv.U1.DeviceVenModVer' parameter before upgrading.

Known limitations
=================

4.33:L01  Copying an event configuration does not work properly. Some parameters
          may not be copied correctly. Please verify each parameter value in the
          cloned event configuration.

4.33:L02  Motion detection windows are adjusted so that their width and height
          are divisible by 8 (pixels).

4.33:L03  When saving a snapshot image, some web browsers (e.g. Mozilla) will
          fetch a new picture and the saved picture will not match the displayed
          snapshot.

4.33:L04  The Mozilla web browser does not always close the image stream properly
          when leaving the live view page. Restarting the stream can sometimes
          fail as well. Restarting Mozilla solves these two problems.

4.33:L05  Viewing full screen and sequencing through different external video
          sources with different video streams in a sequence will switch the full
          screen mode off.

4.33:L06  The AXIS Media Control may stop displaying the MPEG-4 stream after the
          screen saver has been active or the computer has been locked.
          Workaround: Reload the Live View page.

4.33:L07  If using dual screens and moving the AXIS Media Control window from one
          screen to the other, the MPEG-4 stream may stop updating.
          Workaround: Reload the Live View page.

4.33:L08  A snapshot image of the MPEG-4 stream will not be aspect ratio
          corrected when using the AXIS Media Control to take the snapshot image
          while aspect ratio correction is enabled.

4.33:L09  The text overlay in a 90/270 degree rotated NTSC image is garbled in
          both MJPEG and MPEG-4 when the image width is not evenly divisible by
          16.

4.33:L10  Including format field #b or #B in text overlay will show incorrect
          bandwidth usage when frame rate is limited for Motion JPEG.

4.33:L11  PTZ click in image will not work when using QuickTime as the
          image viewer.

4.33:L12  The Axis Media Control should reload itself at audio configuration
          changes on server. Sometimes it does not.
          Workaround: Reload the Live View page.

4.33:L13  Half duplex audio does not function when viewing an MPEG-4 video stream.
          The audio stream will be transmitted in Full duplex mode, even if the
          audio mode is set to Half duplex.

4.33:L14  Rotated video streams are not rotated in Motion Detection setup.

4.33:L15  When starting a new live view stream or when getting a still image,
          running live view streams and events will be stopped for a short while.
