Broadcast G2 8.5.1 firmware update: I've run into some things I can't figure out.
1. Media Pool Thumbnails - I only get thumbnail previews for files recorded in braw or prores, not H.264/5. The media pool shows the files, just no thumbnail picture preview. Is this a future update, a technical limitation, or am I just doing something wrong?
2. Internal Colorbars - The behavior of the internal colorbars has changed since the update, but I didn't see anything about it in the firmware notes. We were using colorbars as part of our slate process by recording them internally. Now if I start recording while colorbars are active they turn off. Colorbars also cannot be activated while recording. It makes sense to me to prevent colorbars from activating while already recording, but I would still like to record them if desired. Perhaps our use case was too fringe?
Does anyone know about these changes? Do I need to contact support directly, or are these features I should request?
