Have Software 4.2 arrived yet for BV7 MarkIII/Beosystem 3?

16 replies

Does anybody know? I´m waiting for the 1080p/24hz-support.

No, but 4.17 has just been released. No further details so far ...

 

Looking forward to see if the 24p upgrade is noticeable...

On another note: I am told that the new BV4, which is shipped now from dealers - in the new dress (BV9 aluframe)....is a D9 version, and the "latest" one...!!

is that in fact D10 - or is D10 the "next thing" - coming in 3-6 months or ??

cheers

Apparently, all the new BeoVision 4-50 and BeoVision4-65 currently shipping will be delivered with the new D10 panel and the Automatic Colour Management system. At the same time the BeoSystem 3 software must be upgraded to version 4.17. This is the only software suitable for use with the D10 screens.

Version 4.17 is backwards compatible with old screens.

My dealer has update my BV9 to 4.17a and NO 24p

BUT the interference issue is SOLVED!!!! 

Does anybody know? I´m waiting for the 1080p/24hz-support.

 

What do you expect it to change / solve?

Does anyone already have it?

 

Is it usefull? If so, why?!

Hi, I asked my dealer today if sw 4.2 have arrived. But no, it has not been released yet. I´m not sure if the 24fprs-support will make the picture smother when camera-panning. I have looked at other lcd-screens which support 24 fprs, and there are not a noticable difference between those screens and the Beovision 7 markIII.

 

Version 4.17 is backwards compatible with old screens.

This is somehow untrue : This bloody 4.17 upgrade made me lost the PON/POFF (RS 232) control of a Panasonic D9 Plasma that had been working like a charm for more then one year !!! So now Bang & Olufsen is playing the silly game  of locking the market by preventing taking full control of third party monitors !!!! Why had they been pushing the Beosystem 3 as an open device when they launched it ? And Indeed the 4.17 checks the monitor factory serial number and reject the on/off control from the Beosystem 3 if it is not a true b&o model (e.g the very expensive beovision 4 monitor)

I had been with B&O for 25 years now, but today I took the decision to stop buying anything from this company that is behaving like a rogue !

So if you don't care about 24fps and want an RS 232 control of your Panasonix D9, *DO NOT UPGRADE*
