3-5. Pause/Resume in record mode.
To skip the commercials.
3-6. Adding the control button for playing file.

And when customer is going to jump to some position, the time-display
reflects the current mouse pointer position in the slider.
3-7. Improve the recording procedure
The HiPix uses as default filename for recording ATSC broadcasting.
So we can record ATSC broadcasting without setting recording filename.
3-8. Reducing mode-changing delay between FILE and ATSC mode.
The changing delay improved from 5 sec. to 0.5 sec.
We modified the structure of internal capture driver, so that
there is no reconfiguration of board while you change the mode
between FILE and ATSC.
3-9. Hibernation.
When system goes to sleep mode, HiPix is closed until system is restarted.
3-10. Storing the recording list.
When you power off the HiPix application or put your computer to sleep,
it saves the recording list, wake up at scheduled time,
and start to record the scheduled event.

We did figure out the leak of Windows's resource in our driver code and
fixed the problem that makes PC hang.

for 24 hours.
