seeing is believing.

Keyframe

Keyframes are not tracking between section breaks when in ‘Normal’ mode rather than ‘Locked’

Hardware integration

Ensure fan settings persists after a reboot

Networking

Failure to start the project if a vx 4 is a Slave to a gx or pro range Master

VFC

More robust handling of HDMI cards to ensure they get recognised at startup

Video Output

Intermittent failure to start caused by HDMI VFC cards clashing with nvidia enumeration (evident particularly on gx 2s)

Legacy known issues from r15.1 and earlier

LUT

[High-resolution LUT files] All sample LUT files included in r15.1 have a grid point count of 32. Although the layer supports higher numbers of grid points, this comes with the consequence of taking longer to load on project start (but will not delay the project itself). It is recommended not to exceed 64 grid points

OmniCal

Doing a rig check from simulated plan to actual cameras for the first time can result in the physical cameras being not found. Workaround: run the rig check with simulated cameras

VR

• VR entails on additional render overhead
• This may result in a poor performance

Upgrading 32-bit to 64-bit Sockpuppet shows

• There may be issues upgrading Sockpuppet projects from 32-bit to 64-bit in 14.4.x builds. If your project falls into this category, please contact support@disguise.one who can arrange a project upgrade for you

Permissions error after installing

• On a small number of machines, a python-based permissions error will prevent software from starting.
• This issue can be solved by restarting Windows

Potential UI performance regression with long and busy timelines

• With either long or busy timelines containing e.g. a plethora of notes/cues, the UI may suffer a degradation in performance
• Minimising the timeline negates this

Slideshows transition time

• The transition time between slides in slideshows is currently broken
• The fix for this makes fundamental changes to timeline operations, so will take a while to work its way into future releases

Notch

• Extremely demanding Notch blocks can cause an oversubscription of available memory resources - click here for full advisory.

OmniCal

• Potential signal drop from wireless OmniCal kits - click here for full advisory.

OSC Control Layer

• New OscControl layer to enable the sending of custom commands to third party products via OSC
• The OSC Control layer allows for the definition of custom commands that can be sequenced on the timeline to perform functions at given times. The custom commands are OSC messages defined by a fixed OSC address and OSC arguments (Integer, Float, String, Blob)

Front panel OLED

• The vx 4 has a refined front panel OLED, capable of conveying more system information to the user. The first phase of this includes the server’s name, serial number and enumeration of the server’s VFC cards

Version number

• Please ignore 15.3 build 56882. This was not properly flagged for release and the outputs will flash blue as if it were a Beta release

• Build 56947 is the correct 15.3 release

The person responsible for this mishap has been made to sit in a corner to reflect on his actions

Automation

• High impact on FPS in the presence of multiple Automation Axes

System Shutdown

• Ensure d3 terminates if the process of quitting takes too long

VFC

• Further robustness handling for VFC cards should they get into error statesr

Video Output

• New projector option 'Face Cull Mode' to enable either front face or back face culling to prevent instances of z fighting

VR

• New Option switch, disableVR, to turn off VR

Latency output mode changes have no effect

Any machines using AMD FirePro GPUs (4x4, vx 4) will be unable to triple buffer their outputs due to an issue in the current AMD drivers. This has the effect of making the outputs behave as if they are in Low Latency mode. A workaround is in preparation and is scheduled for inclusion in the next release.

d3manager update notification

In previous installs, users would get a notification when a new version becomes available. This will no longer work for releases prior to r15 since we no longer own the d3technologies domain. Moreover, until the next maintenance release 15.2.1, this will also be absent for r15 users

Audio

We have reports of users experiencing audio clicking or popping. Release 15.1.4 has some fixes to address this and reduce the chances of this occurring. However, we recognise that this has not been completely cleared up. Audio clicking may still be prevalent on higher frequency sounds. If you experience this try the following workarounds:

• Reduce the volume of the audio. We are noticing that our interaction with drivers adds volume which can result in clicking
• Use WASAPI instead of ASIO. The prevalence of clicking is more pronounced on ASIO
• Edit the Hammerfall settings to reduce the Output Level (see screengrab below)

Audio clicking during high performance

Additionally, under heavy load, if a project starts to drop frames this may have a knock-on effect on the audio, especially if embedded into a video file

Downgrade your 15.1.x project to 15.0.7

If you have already sequenced your project in 15.1.x and want to downgrade the project to an earlier release prior to the audio issues, there is a special version of 15.0.7 to accommodate this. Notes:

• Only downgrades from releases r15.1.0-r15.1.9 to r15.0.7
• Audio mappings will need to be repatched
• Upgrade back to r15.1 should be possible, but not to another r15.0 release

It is recommended not to exceed 64 grid points

OmniCal

Doing a rig check from simulated plan to actual cameras for the first time can result in the physical cameras being not found. Workaround: run the rig check with simulated cameras

Legacy known issues

Upgrading 32-bit to 64-bit Sockpuppet shows

• There may be issues upgrading Sockpuppet projects from 32-bit to 64-bit in 14.4.x builds. If your project falls into this category, please contact support@disguise.one who can arrange a project upgrade for you

Permissions error after installing

• On a small number of machines, a python-based permissions error will prevent software from starting.
• This issue can be solved by restarting Windows

Potential UI performance regression with long and busy timelines

• With either long or busy timelines containing e.g. a plethora of notes/cues, the UI may suffer a degradation in performance
• Minimising the timeline negates this

Slideshows transition time

• The transition time between slides in slideshows is currently broken
• The fix for this makes fundamental changes to timeline operations, so will take a while to work its way into future releases

Major fixes

• Sockpuppet - Audio embedded into video does not playback in sockpuppet

Other fixes

• OmniCal - Real camera intrinsics incorrectly used in OmniCal simulations
• GUI - Zooming into feed scene editor causes rendering anomalies if projectors are set to identify mode

LUT Layer

This new effect layer supports the use of 3D LUT files in .cube format. Uses arrows like other effect layers such as Blur or ChannelRouter. A small collection of sample LUT files is included with every blank project

Filmic grain Layer

A new generative layer that produces animated, film grain style noise

Colour Adjust Layer

A new effect layer which can control white balance and tint either through presets or discrete amounts. Also contains brightness, contrast, and saturation controls

Upgrading 32-bit to 64-bit Sockpuppet shows

• There may be issues upgrading Sockpuppet projects from 32-bit to 64-bit in 14.4.x builds. If your project falls into this category, please contact support@disguise.one who can arrange a project upgrade for you

Permissions error after installing

• On a small number of machines, a python-based permissions error will prevent software from starting.
• This issue can be solved by restarting Windows

Potential UI performance regression with long and busy timelines

• With either long or busy timelines containing e.g. a plethora of notes/cues, the UI may suffer a degradation in performance
• Minimising the timeline negates this

Slideshows transition time

• The transition time between slides in slideshows is currently broken
• The fix for this makes fundamental changes to timeline operations, so will take a while to work its way into future releases

Download r15 Launch Changelog

This is the last 32-bit version of the software.
