Hi, Gary,
There are long stories associated with this viewer.
This first one was updated in 2015

And this is still an option. I used it for developing the DASH tracks on
(scroll about half way down).

I am very disappointed with my 2011 Sigma and won't be buying another,
but I have asked the vendor to replace it with one that works as well as
the 2007 model did before it leaked (after five years). I've sent the
older model back so I might hear something.
Cheers,
Richard
