RELEASE 4.47.1
==============


Corrections in 4.47.1 since 4.47
================================

4.47:C01 Corrected an issue that caused time handler to respawn when saving an 
         NTP server address that was empty.

4.47:C02 Corrected issue with audio dropping in mpeg-4. 


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

4.47: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.

4.47: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 5% instead. The image quality will
         not suffer noticeably, but the image size will be much smaller.

4.47: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.

4.47: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.

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

4.47: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.

4.47:L08 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/.

4.47:L09 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.

4.47:L10 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.

4.47:L11 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.
         
4.47:L12 Storing multiple parameters simultaneously (with ACM) can trigger 
         unexpected behaviour. The workaround in most cases is to restart the
         camera.

4.47:L13 When retrieving two (or more) video streams with differing rotations,
         some frames may be of incorrect rotation.

4.47:L14 When enabling HTTPS, restarting the camera and entering http://ip the camera will
         not redirect to https://ip but one must enter this explicitly.

4.47:L15 During http upload the camera will translate "+" sign as "%2b" when used in
         custom parameter.
