Those clever Korean’s at NextoDI have released a new firmware update for the NVS2500 backup device.

Hi all. For a while I used a Zalman M220W as a monitor for my editing (works great with stereoscopic toolbox) but decided I wanted to upgrade to the newer 1920×1080 M215W. The M215 has been out for a few months but they can be hard to get hold of and I wasn’t expecting it [...]
