TuxOnHumax
2.0
With this
version it is necessary to use a version of the program
HRC 2,4 and
Setedit 2,0. For editing the PMC a new version of
the program
PMC-Edit is necessary too.
Security
In order to
ensure that the enclosed HDF file is an original ToH firmware,
you only
should use the program HU (Humax Uploader) for flashing the humax.
The firmware
consists of the files HIC-10500+CAM+ToH20.hdf and
HIC-10500+CAM+ToH20.tux
. Both files are necessary for an examination by HU
for the
protection from fakes, which could destroy the Humax.
The version
is identified while loading in HU.

Documentation
of the innovations
Macromode
There is a
new mode in the firmware, which can be activated or deactivated with
the TV/Sat
key on the remote control. According to standard this mode is active.
When pressing
the key a green "M" is displayed for macro mode on and a red
"M"
mode is
deactivated. The original function of the TV/Sat key is obtained by
pressing the
key two times in a short time. In the macro mode it is possible
set the keys
of the remote control with own commands or command chains. The
programming
of these macros happens with the program HME (Humax macro editor).
With this
program you can test and set the macros, with attached RS232
zero-modem
cable from the PC to the Humax, for a durable allocation with
the occupied
functions a HDF file is produced, which can be downloaded with HU.
There are two
macros defined in the act, the Firmware reserves on the
keys
"?" and "EPG". With these keys two new ToH
modules can be called
(ToH QME
Module und ToH EPG Module).
Automatic
16:9 or 4:3 format change-over for 16:9 televisions
In the
firmware an automatic format recognition is implemented, these
recognizes
the sent format (16:9 or 4:3) and switches an attached 16:9
television
into the correct format. So that this function functions perfectly,
the receiver
must be set to "16:9" "Full" under A/V output settings.
The
further
control is then taken over by the Humax. With the configuration menu
in the ToH
EPG Module (see below) you can switch on/off the automatic recognition.
According to
standard it is switched on.
Note: So
that the receiver can control the television, a full-wired scart-cable
between
receiver and TV must be used.
Adjustable
time offset per channel
Foreign
channels are sending a systemtime over the DVB stream, which has a
time offset
to the local time (for example Premiere to Stream). If you set the
time offset
in the original menu for the time settings to the correct shift for
the local
time, the time from the foreign channel is wrong. With this version
it is
possible to set the time offset for each channel relative to global
time offset.
This takes place similarly as you switch off Dolby digital for some
channels over
the PMCT (see PMCT entries under ToH EPG Module, column "TO"
for time
offset).
PMC
entries can be assigned to an antenna ID
In the past
it could lead to problems, if on different satellites providers use
the same
service-id. In the PMCT distinct select of the channel was possible.
Now the
clarity over antenna-id and service-id was extended into the PMCT.
+CAM
functionality can be switched off
The +CAM
functionality of the internal CAMs can be switched off for individual
channels.
This is done via registering an CA-ID of "FFFF" for the appropriate
entry into
the PMCT. So the CA-ID is only evaluated by an external CI module.
PAL/NTSC
support
With the
current version an automatic recognition of NTSC for our "DX'ler"
friends is
implemented. For NTSC channels the solution is set to 704*480 and
30Hz, so the
channels can be shown correctly and without disturbances, if your
TV does
support NTSC. Besides most of the important screen insertions are
recomputed,
because of the smaller number of lines. A 100% adjustment of all
menus is too
complex, therefore some menu data are lost downward. The
recognition
can be switched on/off in the config menu in the ToH EPG Module
(see further
below). With PAL transmissions the format is switched back to PAL
automatically.
Extended
film info menu
The info box,
which appears while switching the programs or through pressing
the red
"i" key on the remote control, was transformed. With 16:9
transmissions
an
appropriate symbol apart from the time appears. On transmitters with short
category
display (e.g. comedy) the storage location category is used to show
a not shorten
film title. These most not shorten film titles are also shown
in the ToH
EPG Module. On each premiere direct channel the film info is shown and
not only on
those with an "E". So that this functions will work, you have to
switch once
to a direct channel with "E" or another channel, which sends on
this
transponder. One of the channel this works on are: PremNostalgie,
PremSerie,
Krimi&Co, DiscoveryChannel or Sport2. The data for the others
direct
channels will be buffered thereby, while on the transponder with the
direct
channels without "E" no EPG information is sent. The film
detail box,
which appears
if you press "?" on the remote control, during the info box is
displayed, is
shown in a clearer format.
ToH
QME Module
By pressing
the key "?" on the remote control in macro mode, you wil get into
the ToH QME
Module. This menu is partitioned into five coloured differentiated
register
maps, which you can select through pressing the accordingly colored key
on the remote
control. Appropriate paging through the menus is likewise possible
by pressing
the cursor keys right/left beside the "OK" key.
In the red
menu all channel relevant data is clearly listed. In the green menu
the current
solution is shown, as well as the signal strength and -quality.
The audio
information of the current channel is displayed too. While listening
dolby digital
these information are empty. In the yellow menu your own PMCT is
shown, as
well as contents of the conditional access table (CAT) and the programm
map table
(PMT). The sub functions on the left side , can be selected with the
appropriate
numbers on the remote control. If the announcement of the information
is longer
than a page, then page by page scrolling is possible with the cursor
keys up/down
below the "OK" key. On the blue side a parser is displayed, which
translates
the PMT. With the cursor keys up/down it can be scrolled page by page.
The white
menu contains general informations and a small "James Bond" secret
:-D.
ToH
EPG Module
Into the ToH
EPG menu you get by pressing the key "EPG" in the macromode on the
remote
control. This module is divided into four submenus, you can select each
of them by
pressing the cursor keys right/left beside the "OK" key on the
remote
control.
Under EPG the most unshorten film titles (see extended film info menu)
with the
weekday and the starting times are shown. The actual running channel is
white
emphasized. With the cursor keys up/down, over and under the "OK"
key, you
can scroll
the pages. This applies also to all other sub menus in this module.
During the
using of the EPG zapping with P+ and P- is possible.
In the
submenu settings all channel settings are displayed, the actual received
channel is
white emphasized. By pressing the "OK" key the settings data can be
changed. The
current channel name will get red, now you can select the channel
you want to
change with cursor keys up/down. With the cursor key right the entry
which you
want to change can be selected and changed. If you select the
antenna/frequency
you only can select between transponders which are already
existing, a
transponder search is not possible. The changes are stored through
pressing the
"OK" key, to reject the changes press the "EXIT" key on
the remote
control. All
made changes in the settings are stored directly into the flash and
remain also
after switching off the receivers.
In the
submenu PMCT the adjusted entries are shown and can be changed and
extended for
test purposes. The PMCT cannot be flashed at present while it is
in use,
therefore changes and extensions are valid only up to next switching
off. This
should be sufficient for testing entries, durable changing of the
PMCT is
possible with the program PMC-Edit. If an entry is used for the
actual
received channel, the entry is white emphasized. Changing of the entries
is possible
by pressing the "OK" key on the remote control. A red line appears,
and with the
cursor keys up/down the line which you want to chang can be
selected.
With the cursor key right the appropriate value can be selected and
changed
afterwards. Hex values can be entered while pressing the following keys
"Mute"=A,
"RED"=B, "GREEN"=C, "YELLOW"=D,
"BLUE"=E and "WHITE"=F on the remote
control. The
changes can be stored by pressing the "OK" key (like said only up
to switching
off). If you want to rejected the changes, this is done by pressing
the
"EXIT" key on the remote control. Into the PMCT some new fields were
added
"Ant
ID" and "TO". With "Ant ID" the antenna you
want to use is specified, on
which the
adjusted service id is to be used (see PMC entries can be assigned
to an antenna
id). With the field "TO" a time offset for the selected channel,
relative to
the generally used time in hours can be set (Adjustable time offset
per channel).
With selecting the point with the cursor a positive or negative
time offset
can be set with cursor keys up/down.
If you want
to switch off the +CAM functionality for a special channel, you
have to enter
"FFFF" as the CA-ID the channel selected by the service-id. This
is intended
for simultaneous use with external CI modules.
If the entry
of the actual received channel is selected by pressing the "OK" key,
right of the
line all actual sent entries will be appear for the entry. If you
press the
cursor keys up/down after selecting the CA-ID, the possible entries are
set
automatically. It is likewise possible to add new entries into the PMCT for
test
purposes. To do this you have to go to the last page of the PMCT and press
"OK".
A red line appears, now you must scroll up to the last entry of the list
and press
cursors down one more time. An entry with the actual data of the
current
channel is added and can be edited. All sent values are shown on the
right side of
the entry. An added entry can be deleted by selecting an ant-id
of
"0" (then DELETE will be displayed instead) and confirm it by
pressing "OK".
With the
submenu "CONFIG" some ToH specific functions can be adjusted. With
the
point
"macro mode on Startup" you can adjust whether the macro mode is
active
when you
switch on the receiver. It can be switched off at any time by pressing
the
"TV/SAT" key (see macro mode). With the point "Auto 16:9/4:3 -
Switch" you
can steer
whether the automatic format change-over for 16:9 televisions should
be active on
startup or not (see automatic 16:9 or 4:3 format change-over for
16:9
televisions). The point "Auto NTSC/PAL - Switch" controls the
automatic
recognition
and change-over of NTSC channels and the change-over to NTSC with
30HZ (see
PAL/NTSC support).
