RELEASE 4.40.1
==============

Corrections in 4.40.1 since 4.40
==============================

4.40.1:C01 Improved MPEG-4 overall stability. Sometimes new clients were 
           denied access to a stream.

4.40.1:C02 MPEG-4 streaming no longer stops after 25 days.


4.40.1:C03 BMP images are no longer corrupted intermittently.

Known limitations 
=================

4.40:L01 If you choose to rotate the image in the Video & Image setup, be
         aware that the coordinates for motion detection windows created in the 
         Motion Detection setup will not be rotated.
         Workaround: When defining motion detection windows, temporarily 
         configure the image for 0 degrees of rotation. Change back to the 
         desired rotation again after having defined the motion windows.

4.40:L02 If you set compression to 0% the frame rate may decrease substantially
         for Motion JPEG for certain scenes. This is because the image size 
         may not exceed 128 KB.
         Workaround: Set the compression to 10% instead. The image quality will
         not suffer noticeably, but the image size will be much smaller.

4.40:L03 Including format field #r, #R, #b or #B in the text overlay will show 
	 an incorrect frame rate and bandwidth usage when the frame rate is 
	 limited for Motion JPEG.

4.40:L04 If you have more than one IE window open running the AXIS Media Control
         and audio enabled, you may experience a delay that increases over time
         in all but the topmost window.

4.40:L05 Viewing full screen and sequencing through different external video
         sources with different video streams in a sequence will switch the full
         screen mode off.

4.40:L06 The AXIS Media Control may stop displaying the MPEG-4 stream after the
         screen saver has been active, or when the computer has been locked.
         Workaround: Reload the Live View page.

4.40:L07 Using dual screens and moving the AXIS Media Control window from one
         screen to the other can result in unexpected behavior.
         Workaround: Reload the Live View page.

4.40:L08 The Axis Media Control should reload itself on audio configuration
         changes on server. Sometimes it does not.
         Workaround: Reload the Live View page.

4.40:L09 If viewing the image stream on Mac OS X with Mozilla Firefox using 
	 the AXIS Media Java Applet, a third party plug-in may be needed to
         get the browser to use the correct Java version. The Java Embedding
         Plug-in can be found at http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/.

4.40:L10 Audio will not be available when using the AXIS Media Java Applet 
	 as viewer.
         
4.40:L11 When saving a snapshot image, some Web browsers (e.g. Mozilla) will
         fetch a new picture and the saved picture will not match the displayed
         snapshot.

4.40:L12 The Mozilla Web browser does not always close the image stream properly
         when leaving the Live View page. Restarting the stream can sometimes
         fail as well. Restarting Mozilla solves these two problems.
         
4.40:L13 If the RTSP port is changed when the RTSP server is disabled, 
         then "Unicast RTP" and "RTP over RTSP" will not work in AMC when 
         the RTSP server is enabled again ("RTP over RTSP over HTTP" will 
	 however work). 
         Workaround: Disable the RTSP server and then 
	 re-enable it again.
