3. COMING SOON: NEW FIRMWARE FOR THE SMARTMPEG DECODER

If you have an SR-Systems DVB Decoder smartMPEG Lite, you might be interested in the new firmware we are developping at the moment: The maintech firmware shall run the decoder in a more robust way and make it more reliable for professional applications. Especially mobile operating shall become more stable.

Please note that the maintech firmware for the SR-Systems decoder module is not a full-featured replacement for
the legacy firmware; the feature list and the intended audience are quite different. Please contact us for information about the features if you are interested in an update.

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hoping to be helpful and sending you the best regards, your maintech and SR-Systems team
