DVX - a little heads-up - switching with channel events

Hey everybody,
Just a little heads up on DVXs.
If you use the channel events to facilitate video/audio switching on the DVXs, you might want to tke note.
I was on a project with a newer unit and was troubleshooting an obnoxious bug where my source/destiantion select code was glitching. Some things would work - others not. I was pulling my limited hair out.
Once I determined there was nothing at all wrong with code, I called Tech Support. And lo and behold, there was an issue and a hot fix.
The issue was that for some reason channels X6 and above were indeed firing but no switch occurred. And, if you tried to fire one of the non-working channels the following working channel fire would toggle from its previous state. (that one had me scratching my head)
So, if you run into flakiness when using channels to switch you might check your device firmware version.

Good to know, although I've usually used their strings for switching feedback
