MULTICAM | 21.0.24
RELEASE NOTE
WARNINGS
Multicam 21 is only compatible with XT-VIA, XS-VIA and XT-GO
For improved stability and performance, it is strongly recommended for XT-VIA, XS-VIA and XT-GO
servers currently running Multicam 16 to upgrade to Multicam 21.
For servers equipped with M4X it is recommended to perform a BIOS upgrade to version MA50R938.
Please get in touch with the EVS support to perform this operation.
Multicam 20.4.31/XHub-VIA 1.4 or greater is required for XHub-VIA HW rev. A3, equipped with
Variscite modules (SN 510000 or higher)
For servers equipped with 10K9 drives, it is strongly recommended to perform a firmware upgrade to
version C0D8 (for ST1800MM0129) or N0D8 (for ST1200MM0009).
Multicam 21 uses a different TCP/UDP port range for LinX compared to previous versions
Multicam 21 uses a different SNMP community string compared to previous versions
Using the XHub-VIA Live IP 100G Enabler for 100G requires a calibration of the XT’s SFP interfaces. Please
get in touch with EVS Support for further details
For servers equipped with M4X it is recommended to manually upgrade the board firmware (to version
M4X_02) in the Multicam Setup Hardware Check menu for support of all serial controllers. See Multicam
Installation Manual for further details.

On the SDTI Network, if a network cable is removed from a slave XHub where no server is connected, the master XHub
can temporarily disconnect the XHub slave, causing a network disruption.
VDCP protocol cannot be set as a secondary control of a remote.
Timeline limitations:

In Playlist mode on the first PGM of the first remote if the Aux Track Parameter is set to PGM, when no aux clip is
defined for the current playlist, the audio is not automatically replaced by the playlist’s original audio. This is not a bug.
The setting “Aux track to PGM” should only be used when an aux track is defined for the current playlist.
In interlace mode, IN and OUT points can only be marked on even field to avoid parity violation when chaining clips. If
the operator marks an IN/OUT point on an odd field, the LSM will actually mark it to the next/previous even field, and
jump to this field. In progressive mode, IN and OUT points can be marked on all fields.
When playing a playlist, Next, Skip and Audio Swap are not accepted during transition effects, nor if the next transition
is a split audio (different audio and video IN point, or different video and audio effect durations).
When adjusting YUV parameters to define a custom color for wipe border, the corresponding color is not displayed on
main output.
Impossible to switch to another camera while searching with the jog dial. Stop jogging, switch to the new camera, then
start jogging again.
On remote record trains, it is not possible to switch to another camera in play on the same PGM: the new camera will
always appear in pause.
Playlists of Page 10 are not available from the EVS remote because they are dedicated to the other RS422 protocols.
Resetting the “Protect Clip Pages” parameter in the setup does not reset the protect status of existing clips
It is not possible to flag a clip for archive before it is created.
Setup Screen (Shift+F2) : the number of local and network clips is only refreshed when entering the screen.
Delay Screen (Shift+F7) : when working in NTSC NDF mode, the time codes in this screen are still calculated on a DF
basis.
The default display mode is VGA. When upgrading, the default mode is retained. When pressing ALT-Backspace to
toggle between VGA and Video mode inside the Multicam application, this might in some cases causes the system to
disconnect from the network. The only solution to reconnect is to exit the application and restart it. This problem does
not occur systematically but avoid using ALT-Backspace inside the Multicam application when possible. Using ALT-
Backspace while the Multicam is running can also cause a 00:00:00:00 TC to be marked on the video field recorded at
that time.
It is not possible for a client to push a clip to another client.
On a XT server, create a playlist and load it. If you go back to live and move to another machine the clip that was last
loaded on the player, it will be impossible to reload the playlist anymore.
When loading a clip or playlist after a network train, then marking a cue live, the cue is marked on the local trains, not
on the previously loaded network train.
Freeze on OUT point in record trains in target tracking doesn’t work in PLAY VAR only. OK in normal play.
After having done a search on the remote, the browse function always browses in the results of the clip search, it is
not possible to browse in the clips of the remote anymore without pressing “live”.
