Does anyone have the last Bg808S eprom version in a binary they could post? I think this was V7.61, but if there's a newer one, I'd take that too.
Thanks!

Yeah I can post it when I get back for the weekend, I'm out of town on assignment till friday. It's Onyx firmware, at least the label said so, but I doubt there's any difference, it also just says Cine 8 as the projector type while booting.

Im not sure there was any difference in capability between the Cine 8 and the ONYX, as far as i know it is just the LC that makes it different. Might be worth looking at what the Zenith version has on it, that was basically an identical set, but how different the software would be i dont know, they may have only changed the brand logo and ID screen details. |

You are probably right but its worth a look. |

The one thing I know is that no matter the version, apparently all are susceptible to locking up with a black screen if for some reason the IRIS auto-convergence or auto-picture don't manage to finish their routine properly. (IE try to run it with a less then optimal toe in and camera setup. I've had this happen on multiple occasions, now on multiple projectors whenever I tried to do an auto-setup with the PJ on a stand just to get a quick picture out of it.)

I have never used IRIS so I haven't seen this issue. |

I like it a lot, and if you have a perfect mechanical/camera setup, it actually does a pretty damn good job. If for some reason the process fails to finish though, in earlier versions it will just dump you back to the menu with no messages, and on later versions give you an error message with a list of possible problems. If the process fails mid-process though, or on earlier versions if one adjustment runs out of range for example, it MIGHT just hang with a blank screen and not react to anything bar the standby button. Then you're left on your own to find out what went wrong though.

Just had a look at the Cine8 firmware I have and its older than yours Do you have your Cine 8 firmware as a binary? Can you tell me the RWI chip version is on the control board and also the size of the eProm for the Cine 8 firmware. |

RWI I think was 6.3. Latest version I believe. Oddly enough on the 808s using this version turns the old style remote completely useless, so I only have that in my Onyx.
The ctrl needs a 1 mbyte eprom, originally 27c801. Same size as the last version 808 you uploaded (hence I will also need to get at least one of those eproms though I might have a few out in my workshop, will see).
