VERSION 1.4.2

|

20 MB

Release Date:

9/11/2023

Release Notes

Changes in this version

  • Added support for output to AJA SDI cards.
  • Improved GPU image processing pipeline for reduced latency and smoother output.
  • Improved responsive web UI.
  • Added plug-ins folder in application directory to organize plug-in shared libraries according to whether they are image-processor plugins or custom-io plugins; libraries placed in the image-processor folder will appear in the 'Custom Image Processor' drop-down in System Settings.
  • Combined 'GPU Latency' and 'Video Out Latency' into single 'Video Out Latency' setting; all but the last 50ms of latency will be applied before frames are scheduled for GPU processing. The last 50ms or less of latency will be applied after GPU processing is scheduled and will include GPU processing time.
  • Added Destination panel to Home page in the UI so users can toggle different outputs on or off.
  • Added Latency adjustment to the Home page.
  • The location of the settings file has moved to C:\ProgramData\red\REDConnect.

Known Issues

  • FPS Chart is blank - we are in the process of updating the FPS Chart to the new UI and this will be working again in an upcoming patch.
  • CRC Check of received frames has been disabled.

VERSION 1.2.39

|

23.7 MB

Release Date:

2/8/2023

Release Notes

Changes in this version

  • Fixed: Reduced drift by changing from frame number based synchronization to time based synchronization.
  • Removed application enforced minimum latency.
  • Added realtime interactive latency adjustments. Depending on the environment latency can be set (in realtime) from 300ms (or less) to 3000ms (or more).
  • Added support for Precision Time Protocol synchronization.
  • Added support to communicate with the camera via TCP.
  • Added functional sections to the System Settings web page.
  • Added support to save audio data to the R3D files.
  • Added connection type, connection status, and output type information to the web page headers.
  • Added realtime user customizable performance graphs.
  • Added an option to save the camera stream to R3D files.
  • Added an option to start saving the camera stream to R3D files as soon as the camera starts recording.
  • Added an option to save the previous few seconds to a replay R3D file (the number of previous few seconds is user defined).
  • Added the ability to append a user defined DLL to the rendering pipeline for doing things like dewarping (a simple dewarping sample DLL is included), additional image pipeline processing, or capturing/redirecting of the frames.
  • Added the ability to redirect the R3D file IO via a user defined DLL to foreign or remote file systems (a sample DLL is included).
  • Added the ability to run without Blackmagic SDI GPU Direct, when running streams lower than 8K60FPS.
  • Added the ability to reset web page statistics in realtime.
  • Known issue, when recording from the camera at lower frame rates and resolutions the SDI output may have some issues. To get around them, record from the camera at 4K 60 FPS, 8K 30 FPS, or higher and set the desired output format in the System Settings Output Video Settings panel
