This page contains the latest versions and release notes of the Wave Player (macOS) and Wave Player (Windows) software, as well as the Wave Camera Firmware and User Guide. If you don't have a Wave yet, you can also download sample footage to try out in Wave Player.

Please note that both updates (Wave Player and Camera Firmware) may be required to take advantage of the latest features. Updating Wave Player alone does not automatically update the Camera Firmware.

For previous versions and release notes, see the Previous Versions.

Release Notes

• Added CALIBRATE tab for creating User Calibrations to reduce Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN).
• Improved alignment of factory calibration data (also slightly reduces vertical FPN).

• Restored Row Filter with improved algorithm and adjustable threshold. This can help reduce temporal row noise in some scenes.

• Increased H.264 export bit rate.

• Fixed some issues with the timeline that would result in 1-3 frame offsets between the cursor or in/our marks and the actual playback position.

Firmware Update Instructions

The camera firmware can be updated over USB using the following procedure:

1. While holding down the Scroll Wheel, press and release the Power Button to power on the camera in Firmware Update mode. Continue to hold down the Scroll Wheel until the Record LED flashes slowly.

2. Plug in the USB cable. The camera will appear as a USB drive. This drive is separate from the one where clips are stored, so your footage won’t be visible but is safe and not affected by the firmware update.

3. Drag the new firmware file (WAVE.BIN) into the fw folder.

4. Click the Scroll Wheel. The Record LED will begin to flash quickly as the firmware is updated.

5. Wait for the camera to automatically restart with the new firmware. This should take at most 30 seconds.

Release Notes

v1.4.2 (25 April, 2025)

• Fixes an issue affecting newer Wave cameras (shipped 2025 onward) relating to the internal SSD controller that could cause corrupted frames. Older Wave cameras are unaffected and can remain on FW v1.4.1.
