Micomsoft Driver Changelog (November 2014)

So days after I wrote about the small driver update from Lumens, Micomsoft come out with a driver that is 5 months newer! Since the Micomsoft website download was really slow for me, I've mirrored the download here at my Google Drive. These drivers work for the SC-500N1, SC-512 and PEXHDCAP. They also released XCAPTURE-1 drivers but I cannot test them as I do not have that capture card.

Here is the new driver window.


The eagle eyed user will spot 2 main differences: Color Range has been changed and HDMI/DVI EQ has been added.

I don't see much point in going over the EQ setting. You will never need to change this (default is 10). The most interesting (and only noteworthy) driver change is Color Range.

From my testing, the Bypass option works perfectly when dealing with a 16-235 source. However, with a Full range source the colors become much more vibrant and thus incorrect. In order to get proper Full range capture you must apply the Shrink option. I don't currently have the means to test VGA capture but I quickly checked Component capture. It seems correct to choose Bypass. Shrink made blacks look grey (as expected) and Expand looks like Bypass but no reason to pick it.

The only other small things to note is they added support for the X68000 and of course, the 100% CPU bug still exists. :(
