Author Topic: Sony DFP-3000 firmware Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-08-2015 02:29 PM                     Anyone have version 2.74 firmware for this SDDS analog/digital processor? It's going to be crazy-old, but I'm wondering if anyone has a copy somewhere.  |  IP: Logged Marin Zorica Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 671 From: Biograd na Moru, Croatia Registered: May 2003 posted 02-08-2015 04:39 PM                     hmmm....i have had some firmwares of sony various sond equipment, DCP1000, DFP3000....need to check out on laptop is it still there, even i think that is not last, last was some 2.9 something? If not secret, why you need 2.74......?  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-08-2015 04:39 PM                     Were they ever downloadable from a Sony website or FTP? If you have an old link written down somewhere try plugging it into the internet archive wayback machine. I noticed the archived sdds.com site has quite a few snapshots. https://web.archive.org/web/20050622081611/http://www.sdds.com/  |  IP: Logged Marin Zorica Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 671 From: Biograd na Moru, Croatia Registered: May 2003 posted 02-08-2015 04:40 PM                     I doubt you will ge it from sony, ten year service period is done now, and here in Europe i know a person who was responsible for tech support no longer works at sony, so to be honest, and since sdd.com is not working don't know where to ask......  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-08-2015 05:24 PM                     Versions later than 2.74 had a bug in it when failing over between digital formats where you would have a second of dead silence. I'm not sure what they screwed up, but they did a good job of it. 2.74 was solid and did not have the glitch, so it is the definitive version of firmware for the DFP-3000.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I'll check my archives on Monday for it.  |  IP: Logged Marin Zorica Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 671 From: Biograd na Moru, Croatia Registered: May 2003 posted 02-10-2015 03:19 PM                     That silencewere on changeover installation or single as well? I used 3000 processor (and still do) in some festivals venue where i had 35mm optical/SRD/DTS/SDDS and ch from DCP and newer have any silence while dropping from one format to other, even on SDDS, but everytime was single projector use, and all of my 3000 processor were on latest 2.9xx firmware.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I'll put it in the warehouse for a proper archive.  |  IP: Logged
