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.
