In r30.0.1 and r30.0.2, RS streams cannot be received on Actor machines. Please revert your Designer version to r30.0 as the current workaround. This has been fixed in the next release.

Reminder: You can freely move a project from and r30.0.1 and r30.0.2 to r30.0 without consequence.

• DSOF-28407 - Move solo to a long-term Designer software version release

Users will be unable to run a project built in Designer software version from r30.0 onwards on a Solo. The final Designer software version to run on the Solo will be r29.2. This will become a long-term release model, with fixes only for show-critical issues that do not require large changes, for a period of 1 year. 

We have released final video playback performance metrics for the Solo that are specific to this Designer software version, which can be seen here.

We have put together an overview on the product life cycle which explains each of the phases in more detail. This can be seen here.

• • DSOF-21329 - Support non-16:9 camera aspect ratios with “region of interest”
  • Video input configuration now supports the ability to crop the image with two new configuration fields:
  • Crop size: The crop rectangle size in pixels to apply to the incoming video. The applied crop will be centered on the frame e.g. a horizontal crop of 1600px on a 1920px original frame will remove 160px on the left hand side and 160px on the right hand side.
  • Crop offset: The offset in pixels to apply to the crop rectangle. Offsetting the crop rectangle more than half the crop size in an axis will cause the crop rectangle to shrink in order to stay within the original frame. This functionality is useful for use cases such as when a camera produces non-16:9 output over SDI which is restricted to 16:9, resulting in black bars. The black bars can be cropped out with this feature. Productions using anamorphic lenses will also benefit from this feature. For more information about video in cropping, see setup-video-input.
  • DSOF-26311 - OSC output with customisation using Expressions

• DSOF-28283 - TrackSection Fades with Precomps no longer cause precomps to snap instead of transitioning smoothly
• DSOF-28295 - Designer now properly accepts variables in "selected index" expression of list indirection controllers
• DSOF-28338 - OCIO - Dynamic properties no longer affect all videos with the same colour space

OCIO

OCIO is a widely adopted open-source colour management solution. For more details on OCIO, visit https://opencolorio.org/.

For details on how OCIO is implemented in Designer,  see the Disguise User Guide for detailed documentation: https://help.disguise.one/designer/colour-management/ocio

Known issue: When using an identical colour space transform on multiple different resources (videos, textures, LEDScreen, etc.), changing the OCIO dynamic properties (exposure, contrast and gamma) on a resource will also affect all other resources which use the same colour space and transform. This issue will be resolved in a subsequent hotfix. For more information on OCIO dynamic properties, refer to the user guide link above.

Colour Inspector

The Colour Inspector is a new tool in Designer for inspecting the specific colour values of pixels within an image. It is useful for verifying content and colour workflows.

See the Disguise User Guide for detailed documentation on the Colour Inspector:
https://help.disguise.one/designer/colour-management/colour-inspector

• DSOF-22938 Make XR Colour Calibration work with ACES/OCIO

Colour calibration for XR now supports ACES and OCIO modes.

• DSOF-26828 Notch colour management in OCIO

• DSOF-26830 OCIO working space selection

In OCIO mode, the working colour space is configurable. See the user guide OCIO section for details on how to set the working colour space.

• DSOF-26832 Implement OCIO for Renderstream module

OCIO supports the RenderStream layer. Sharing OCIO information with content engines over RenderStream was out of scope for this improvement.

• DSOF-26927 Selectable default input and output transforms in OCIO config

In OCIO mode, default input and output transforms can be configured so they are automatically applied to media and output devices. See the user guide OCIO section for details on how to set the default input and output transforms.

• DSOF-24246 Ability to duplicate and rename projects from within d3 Manager

Right-licking on a project or project file within d3 Manager now provides options to:
- Duplicate project
- Duplicate project file (option is disabled if right-clicking the project rather than the project file)
- Delete project
- Delete project file (option is disabled if right-clicking the project rather than the project file)
Projects and project files can now also be renamed via d3 Manager.

We have made a number of significant improvements to the IP-VFC. Due to changes to the IP-VFC firmware, any user wishing to use the IP-VFC on a Designer project built in software version r29.0 onwards must also update the IP-VFC firmware version to 23.0.7. The firmware version on an IP-VFC can be upgraded and downgraded, but must be used with a compatible Designer software version. 

Please refer to the following compatibility table in order to understand which IP-VFC firmware versions are compatible with which Designer software versions:

All IP-VFCs being used in the session must be updated to run on the same firmware version. The IP-VFC firmware updater tool and a guide to updating the firmware can be found under the VFC Firmware Update tab here.

IP-VFC SDI mode changes

• DSOF-22892 - You now no longer need to enable the enableSDIIPVFC option switch to use your IP-VFC with SDI SFPs
• DSOF-23731 - The IP-VFC card's list of supported formats now correctly hides unsupported formats.

720p and QUAD video output modes on the IP-VFC when running in SDI mode are greyed out by default as they are not currently fully supported. They can be enabled for testing via the enableIPSDIExperimentalModes option switch, however they are not fully supported and if you do plan to use them please reach out to support to discuss the limitations and risks.

• DSOF-27405 - IP-VFC cards will now output an SDI video stream correctly if only a single SFP is attached to the 2nd output port.
• DSOF-25602 - IP-VFC cards now no longer expose a TPG field when in SDI mode

In previous releases, when an IP-VFC was in SDI mode, there was a field in the output port properties called TPG, which stands for Test Pattern Generator. We have removed this field as the functionality is replicated by rendering a test pattern via a video layer.

• DSOF-25603 - IP-VFC cards in SDI mode can no longer independently be set to "Frame Replay".

In previous releases, when an IP-VFC was in SDI mode, there was a field in the output port properties called "Frame Replay". We have removed this field as the functionality is replicated by the ‘Hold output’ function, which allows the user to freeze the output on one or a selection screens.

IP-VFC ST 2110 mode changes

• DSOF-26523 - You can now select your PTP profile on the IP-VFC from the Designer interface when in ST 2110 output mode.

The options we support are:

SMPTE2059-2015

SMPTE2059-2021

• DSOF-26546 - You can now fully configure your IP-VFC card without requiring SFPs be connected first.
• DSOF-26999 - IP-VFC cards in an understudy machine will no longer take on the network port configuration of the IP-VFCs in the machine they are taking over from during failover.
• DSOF-27487 - IP-VFC cards now startup network interfaces on boot much more quickly.
• DSOF-22772 - IP-VFC cards will no longer intermittently hang indefinitely when you modify their network configuration.
• DSOF-23944 - Selecting PTP sync in the feed view will now automatically set all installed IP-VFCs in ST 2110 output mode to PTP sync mode (you can change them manually later, but this configuration is the most reliable for sync).
• DSOF-26532 - The Genlock indicator in the feed view no longer intermittently reports that IP-VFC cards in ST 2110 output mode are PTP locked when they are not.
• DSOF-26541 - Manual changes to the IP VFC cards network configuration are now correctly undoable.
• DSOF-26542 - IP addresses in the IP-VFC editor will no longer react erratically to the scroll wheel.
• DSOF-26543 - IP-VFC cards in ST 2110 mode will now correctly stay in EXT sync mode when it is set.
• DSOF-23860 - The IP-VFC editor will now warn you if you enter an invalid multicast address.
• DSOF-26700 - The IP-VFC editor will now highlight your network settings in red if the IP address supplied is not on the same subnet as your gateway.
• DSOF-27392 - IP-VFC cards in ST 2110 mode will no longer intermittently fail to create a video stream.

IP-VFC General changes

• DSOF-26574 - The IP-VFC will now display a grey-pink border in the feed view if it is non-responsive.
• DSOF-24968 - d3service and Designer now log more verbosely about the state of IP-VFC when it's being configured to help us better diagnose problems in the field.
• DSOF-26641 - Designer will no longer display an access violation when joining session with an IP-VFC card and loading directly in to the feed view.

• DSOF-26666 - Machines will no longer hang indefinitely when applying feed settings if the first IP-VFC card in the server cannot detect a genlock source.
• DSOF-26679 - Designer will no longer intermittently display an access violation when inspecting a machine that has IP-VFC cards attached.
• DSOF-26685 - Once configured, the IP-VFC will now wait less time to output a video stream.
• DSOF-26803 - Designer will no longer display and access violation when opening the editor of a machine that had IP-VFC cards installed but is now offline.
• DSOF-27404 - IP-VFC cards will no longer intermittently fail to initialize properly on machine boot.
• DSOF-27424 - Genlocking a machine via the IP-VFC card is now much more reliable.
• DSOF-28012 - EX range director machines will now correctly apply IP-VFC configuration to actor machines with IP-VFC cards connected.
• DSOF-24289 - Servers with IP-VFC cards installed that are set to genlock in EXT sync mode now respond correctly to upstream genlock signal changes.
• DSOF-24868 - You no longer need to apply feed settings on every system reboot to output from IP-VFC cards.

Other Improvements

We've been working on things other than the IP-VFC too.

• DSOF-28200 - You can now specify a default gamma space colour transform for all new ingested media and all newly created displays.

In Project Settings under ‘Colour Management’ you will find two new entries when the mode is set to ‘Gamma Space’ which each accept a colour profile object:

‘Default ingest profile’

‘Default display profile’

DSOF-28053 - For DMX Screens you can now select the new GRBW Fixture type (one step closer to having all the permutations!).

• DSOF-20707 - Selecting a new feed scene for a machine will now correctly update the feed name displayed in the feed view.

All Notch blocks flickered when they were not being rendered at full frame rates when a user upgraded their project file to r27.8. As a result we removed r27.8 (build number 191665). This has now been resolved in r27.9, which includes a number of additional fixes and improvements.

The original release notes for r27.8 are also listed at the end of this document.

• DSOF-11388 More Zoom Steps when Zoom In

Additional zoom levels have been added to zoom in and out of the timeline, for example using Alt Scroll or the timeline magnifier icons.

• DSOF-27451 Move 'Collapse All Groups' and 'Clear Arrows' into a dropdown

The Track Editor menu now contains a new Actions section which contains the following:

• Clear Arrows (if the option switch isClearArrowsEnabled is enabled)
• Toggle Groups
• Close Layer Editors (see next item)

• DSOF-26612 Add way to close all open layer editors

The Actions section of the Track Editor now contains a Close Layer Editors function, which ensures that the list of layers which would open when the timeline scrubs over them is cleared.

• DSOF-27484 'Collapse all Groups' Should toggle to expand all groups

The “Collapse all Groups” button in the Track Editor has been renamed to Toggle Groups, and it now collapses or expands all Groups across the whole track. If even one group is open then clicking the button will close the group(s). Expanding will only happen if there are no open groups on the entire track. The shortcuts Ctl Alt + and Ctrl Alt - also perform this action.

• DSOF-27207 QuickAlign option to disable adding new points

In order to easily move existing points without accidentally adding new points when doing QuickAlign, a checkbox has been added to toggle on or off adding new alignment points. The checkbox is under the Interface Options menu.

New Features

• DSOF-17036 ProRes Support

ProRes video codecs are now supported for playout on Disguise. ProRes is a visually lossless codec that uses intra-frame compression, where each frame is stored independently and can be decoded with no dependencies on other frames.

Users are now able to playout the following ProRes codecs from Disguise:

• ProRes 422
• ProRes 422 HQ
• ProRes 422 LT
• ProRes 422 Proxy
• ProRes 4444
• ProRes 4444 XQ

ProRes RAW playback in Disguise is not supported.

ProRes video codecs are CPU-based. We recommend checking the video playback performance for the Disguise media server(s) when deciding whether ProRes is appropriate for your show or production. 

Improvements

Selection of objects in the Designer visualiser is prioritised based on the type of object. For example, if a camera is behind a projector, the camera will be selected even if the projector is visually in front. In previous releases, the Prop object had the lowest selection priority of all object types. This could be changed with the option switch propSelectionPriority. In this release, the default selection priority of Props has been changed so it is the same priority as a projector, puck, skeleton and 2.5D asset. It is still possible to use the option switch to change this, whereby setting propSelectionPriority to 0 is the lowest priority and 25 is the highest priority.

Skinned Mesh Workflows

Summary

The skinned mesh workflow allows a rigged mesh to be selected in a Skeleton, so that the mesh can be deformed based on the positions of the skeleton’s bones. This can be used to represent deforming surfaces, so that they can be used across other standard workflows within Disguise.

In this release the two main features are:

• Skinned mesh support for Skeletons
• A new SkeletalPointTrackingSource for controlling skeleton bones based on tracked points

Taken together, these features allow us to deform a mesh based on tracked marker positions from a system such as Blacktrax or Optitrack.

How-To

To use a skinned mesh as a projection surface:

1. Find or create an FBX file which contains a single rigged mesh, and copy this into the project’s objects/Mesh folder
2. Create a new skeleton, and select the FBX mesh in the skeleton’s mesh field
3. Create a new projection surface, and select the mesh named after the skeleton (not the original FBX mesh)
4. Try moving the skeleton’s bones using the manual posing controls in the skeleton editor. The mesh should deform in both the skeleton and the projection surface
5. If you want to hide the skeleton mesh, set the Display mode under Appearance to Hidden

To set up a SkeletalPointTrackingSource to control a skeleton:

1. Set up a marker tracking system e.g. Blacktrax or Optitrack to receive tracked points in Disguise
2. Create a rigged mesh with joints at each tracked marker position, export as FBX as select in a Skeleton
3. Under Hierarchy in the Skeleton, click ‘Create Reference Points’ to create a reference point for each joint
4. Create a new SkeletalPointTrackingSource as the Skeleton’s tracking source
5. In the tracking source editor, add points to link each tracked point to its corresponding reference point
6. Points can be sorted into groups. If a point stops receiving tracking data, its position will be estimated based on a rigid body transform from other receiving points in the same groups
7. Each point can also have an offset applied relative to the fixed point, and can have ‘Twist’ ticked to calculate the twist of that joint based on the positions of points within the same group
8. Adjust the ‘Rejoin velocity limit’ to change the speed at which points catch up with the tracked position when tracking is received again after being lost

This workflow is also documented in the user guide at https://help.disguise.one/en/Content/Workflows/Motion-Capture/Skinned_Mesh_Workflows/Skeleton.htm  and https://help.disguise.one/en/Content/Workflows/Motion-Capture/Skinned_Mesh_Workflows/Skeleton_Point_Tracking_Source.htm

Skinned skeletal mesh support

• DSOF-25206 Add deformable mesh functionality to skeleton
• DSOF-25221 Ability to import skeleton rig from FBX file
• DSOF-25307 Make skeleton layout persistent
• DSOF-25409 Render mesh when it is selected in a Skeleton
• DSOF-26074 Add retargeting to control skeletal mesh with tracked skeleton data
• DSOF-26599 Instance skeleton-controlled deformable meshes so the same mesh can be used multiple times
• DSOF-27004 Expose skeleton joint pose manual controls to users

SkeletalPointTrackingSource for marker-based skeleton control

• DSOF-25223 Ability to add tracked points to Skeleton
• DSOF-26734 Add option to clear reference points in Skeleton
• DSOF-25366 Account for non-receiving tracked points in Skeleton control
• DSOF-25407 Automatically detect and control duplicate joints
• DSOF-25484 Skeleton tracking  - avoid points jumping when they stop receiving
• DSOF-25497 Skeleton tracking - avoid points jumping when they start receiving again
• DSOF-25498 Skeleton tracking - calculate bone twist angle from rigid body group

• DSOF-24875 Add API call to indicate GUI state/selected option
• DSOF-25528 Add API call to set GUI mode

The above two items are in a new API endpoint /session/status/setguimode

• DSOF-25063 Add API call to query timecode receive status of a transport

A new receivingTimecode field has been added to TransportIndo in the Session API.

• DSOF-25088 Add API endpoints to query QuickCal pixel error and overwrite manual calibration

Two new endpoints have been added:
/quickcal/overwritemanualcalibration which overwrites the manual calibration for the given projector
/quickcal/projectorcalibration which returns information about the projector config including the error values

• DSOF-25222 Omnical - ability to mesh deform without adding verts

It is sometimes desirable to deform with Omnical without adding extra vertices. This is now configurable in MeshDeform in the new Topology Behaviour setting. Selecting “Discard inserted vertices” will result in a deformed mesh without added complexity. The number of vertices and triangles before/after MeshDeform will remain the same.

• DSOF-25351 OmniCal: minor MeshDeform performance improvements

Performance of the Omnical mesh deform feature has been improved.

• DSOF-25367 Add prediction to tracked points

A new section for Prediction has been added to the natnet driver. This can help to minimise lag. The new fields in the Prediction section are as follows:

Prediction time (sec): How much time to predict
Sample interval threshold (sec): This is the threshold of time intervals between samples to filter out noise. If the interval time between samples is bigger, detection will be ignored.
Sample size: The number of samples to use for prediction. More samples will make prediction less prone to the noise
Terms: This is the term of curve that is used for curve fitting.  Value can be set to either 1 or 2

• DSOF-26057 Add user facing option to render normals

Mesh normals can now be toggled on in the Designer visualiser. To turn on normals, go to Stage -> Visualiser Camera -> Render settings -> Object visibility -> Mesh normals. Normals will then be displayed for any mesh which is selected.

• DSOF-23836 - Fixed an issue where feeds dragged over a GUI could no longer be suppressed by Alt+G or Alt+F
• DSOF-24884 - Fixed an issue where toggling the GUI with ALT+G persisted the state through a project restart
• DSOF-25021 - Fixed an issue where NatNet driver could introduce subtle rotation errors in Rigid Bodies
• DSOF-25331 - Fixed an issue where unlabelled markers in Motive created infinite unnamed TrackedPoints in Designer

• DSOF-26901 - Fixed an issue where Alt+G GUI Is Disabled splash was not always in bottom right of screen
• DSOF-27011 - Offline editors no longer affect aggregate status in the session widget

The range finder option was toggled on by default when an user upgraded their project file to r27.5. In addition, an access violation was reported during the OmniCal calibration process which led to the project freezing. As a result we removed r27.5 (build number 186871) from the website. These have now been resolved in r27.5.1, which is otherwise identical to r27.5.

• DSOF-27185 - Fixed an issue where the range finder option was toggled on by default when upgrading projects to r27.5
• DSOF-27186- Fixed a Renderer Access Violation during OmniCal calibration that locked up Designer

• Added support for RXIII server type

We have added software support for the RX III render node.

• DSOF-11797 Improve DMX screen position receiver to enable reception of other byte formatting

The DMX Screen Position Driver now has the option to specify the number of DMX channels to use per axis, allowing the use of 16-bit (2 channels) and 24-bit (3 channels), up to 64-bit (8 channels).

The following fields were added:

• Number of Channels per Axis - number of 8-bit DMX channels per axis
• Signed - signals whether the value is a signed integer. Toggle on for yes and toggle off for no. This allows the value to be negative
• Little Endian - signals whether the value is in Little Endian (toggle on) or Big Endian (toggle off). This is the order the channels are used to create the value.

• DSOF-25698 Add a modifier to locking to director, which first jumps the director to the editor playhead before locking

When using an Editor that is running in session, users can now press ALT + SHIFT + click ‘Lock to Director’ to jump the Director to the Editors’ time location before locking. 

• DSOF-25854 Add range finder option to camera visualiser

We have added a range finder option to the camera visualiser to enable users to know how far away from a screen when completing pixel pitch calculations. This can be turned on by right clicking anywhere in the stage view, and then right clicking the Render settings. The Range finder can be toggled on and off from this menu and will appear as an overlay in the stage view.

• DSOF-26839 Allow padding outside of Renderstream full-frame renders

When the Splitting Strategy is set to ‘Full-Frame’ mode in the Cluster Assigner menu - found within the Config section the RenderStream layer - the Padding value is now applied to the outside of the full frame.  This can also be used with Mesh and Direct Mappings if using the RenderStream layer. 

• DSOF-26887 Remote GUI status and toggle for actors

We have added GUI status to the ‘Output’ indicator on the Network Status Widget as seen in the screenshot below. The GUI icon follows the same convention as the other icons, namely if the GUI is on a Disguise media server running in session then the icon will be green. If it is off then the icon will be grey. A tooltip also states this information if the user hovers over the icon. 

• DSOF-26890 Add hotkeys to next/last through the tracks in the setlist

We have introduced hotkeys to allow users to jump between tracks in the setlist. This can be completed by pressing ‘PgDn’ to go to the next track in the setlist, and ‘PgUp’ to go to the last track in the setlist.

We have improved the Find Usage functionality in the VideoClip, DfxFile, and AudioTrack layer editors. This can be found by right clicking on the respective pieces of media and left-clicking on the ‘Find Usage’ button in the layer editor for VideoClip, DfxFile and AutoTrack. This will open a window with all occurrences of the current piece of media across all tracks and layers. An example can be found here:

Each entry will contain the Track, Layer and usage location, shown as the timecode time from the timeline. A left-click on the entry will jump the playhead to the start of the layer that uses that piece of media. 

All Find Usage information can now be exported as a .TXT file.

The same functionality has been added to the ‘Find/Replace Usages’ button in the Mapping editor, which was introduced in r27.1 for sequenced mappings only, only in this case the window shown will display all occurrences of the mapping. In the menu, to the side of ‘Replacement Mapping’, if a user clicks on ‘None’ then a different mapping can be selected. Click ‘Replace with selected Mapping’ to assign the new mapping as seen here:

• DSOF-22572 Redistribute DMX and OSC data to allow for synchronisation

In previous releases, both DMX and OSC packets were received independently and actioned by each Disguise media server running in the session. We have changed this behaviour so that both DMX and OSC packets are now received by the director machine running in the session and distributed to the actors. This means that all DMX and OSC packets are executed at the same timestamp.

This improvement allows for the DMX and OSC protocols to be used in situations which require operations to happen in synchronisation, such as triggering DMX or OSC changes on a screen split across multiple actors for example. 

If Disguise is receiving DMX or OSC packets, we can right click DMX or OSC on the state tab at the top of the Designer GUI to open the ‘DMX Recorders’ or ‘OSC Recorders’ editor menu. This includes a ‘Redistribution Delay’ field where we can customise the frame delay to enable the redistribution of the DMX or OSC packets to take place. A higher frame delay will compensate for a high-latency network as it allows more time for the DMX or OSC packets to get from the director machine to the actor machines.

• DSOF-23659 - Fixed an issue where the tracking axis filtered value of zoom and focus failed send to system
• DSOF-24426 - Fixed an indefinite hang on mapping a bluefish input to video input

• DSOF-26677 - Fixed an issue where arrowing a Blur layer into video layer degraded the quality of the arrowed media
• DSOF-26678 - Fixed an issue where we, ‘Timed out while transmitting Art-Net packet’ when setting Tracking Recorders mode to Play
• DSOF-26737 - Made Artnet packet sequence count per universe instead of globally
• DSOF-26756 - Fixed an issue where Prop surfaces were masking surfaces behind them when in Add blend mode

The size of the Designer installer for r27.3 (build number 183205) and a number of custom branches exceeded the available RAM permitted as part of the reimaging process. This caused the reimaging process to stop and prevented the user from booting the Disguise media server into Windows. 

We removed r27.3 (build number 183205) from our website. This has now been resolved in r27.3.1, which is otherwise identical to r27.3.

• DSOF-9390 Lux Transparency Support

Non-opaque blend is now supported in Lux mode.

• DSOF-24027 TCP Indirection Controller

There is now a TCP variant of the Indirection Controller, in addition to the existing variant which uses UDP. It works like a UDPIndirectionController with a key value pair list and when the user sends a TCP message with a new key it causes the indirection to switch.

• DSOF-24933 HTTP Sockpuppet

In addition to control via OSC, Sockpuppet now supports control via the HTTP protocol. This makes Sockpuppet more easily controllable by web-based control interfaces and other networked components that utilize HTTP protocols.

The sockpuppet commands are sent to the director, from which the animation values are applied in sync across all machines in the session.

Patching a layer

1. Create a layer in d3 that you wish to patch.
2. Right click layer and select Patch to HTTP

API Overview

HTTP sockpuppet exposes the following HTTP API endpoints, currently under the experimental namespace which is not documented at developer.disguise.one. See http://127.0.0.1/docs/experimental for the Swagger documentation. Note that as these APIs are in the experimental namespace, they may be subject to change before promotion to the non-experimental namespace.

API Usage Workflow

Expected usage of APIs are as follows;

1. Call sockpuppet/easingfunctions to get list of possible easing functions
2. Call sockpuppet/patches to get list of possible patches
3. Using data from sockpuppet/patches, use /sockpuppet/live to make changes to the patch, and therefore the layer. Send to the director only, or controlling understudy.

Live changes sent to the director will be played back in sync across the session with a 2 frame delay.

• DSOF-4156 Shortcut to Expand all/Collapse all groups

The following keyboard shortcuts expand and collapse all groups:
CtrlAlt= (expand)
CtrlAlt- (collapse)
In addition, there is a new Collapse All Groups button in the right click menu of the track which collapses all supergroups and smart groups.

• DSOF-19079 Make strobe layer less intense when created

When a strobe layer is created the rate is now 1hz by default.

• DSOF-23033 Sequencing: Add hot key for layer 'fit to contents'

When a layer is selected using the key bind 'CTRL + SHIFT + F' it will fit layer to contents
The key bind is noted in the 'F1' Shortcut menu.

• DSOF-23439 FolderWatcher abort logs are unclear (e.g. if d3service fails to clean up) 
• DSOF-25049 Add text to manual observation alignment widget explaining initial alignment

We have added text in the Manual Observation widget that explains to users that if a wireframe is not visible, then the user should increase the Stage Render Opacity and adjust the Solved Position and Rotation until the alignment objects are in view.

• DSOF-25224 DSE accounting for surface normal relative to projector

We have added functionality to the Dynamic Blend workflow which accounts for the surface normal relative to the projector. When users edit the ‘Cutoff angle’ in the Dynamic Blend section of each projector and the relative angle of the projector and the surface normal exceeds this value, then we remove the contribution of that projector and use projectors with a better view instead.

• DSOF-25614 DSE: promote "dynamicSoftEdgeFullRes" to user-editable per-projector option

The option switch dynamicSoftEdgeFullRes has been promoted to a user-editable per-projector option. This enables the soft edge resolution to vary per projector rather than set across the whole project. In the projector settings, the “Dynamic Blend” section has a “Resolution factor” field 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and Full. 1/16 is the default for best performance. The "Resolution factor" changes DSE resolution, affecting blend quality (it is visible).

• DSOF-25623 DSE: re-organise Dynamic Blend section to hide less-used settings

The Projector Dynamic Blend section now has an Advanced Blend Setting sub-section with less frequently used options, to save on screen real estate.

• DSOF-25657 Make crash reporting disabled by default

Crash dumps are created when an unhandled exception occurs. This incurs a brief stall while the dump is generated. This behaviour is now opt-in and disabled by default. It can be enabled by one of the following two methods:

1. Option in Designer.  d3 > Advanced > Enable Crash Reporting > On / Off

When On, it generates a dump file on the local machine when an Access Violation thrown.
When Off, it doesn't generate a dump file on the local machine when an Access Violation thrown.

1. Advanced Project Setting > Option Switch: enableCrashReporting is Project Wide and depending which machine has the Access Violation thrown, it will generate a dump file on that specific machine.

• DSOF-25922 Keyboard modifiers for fine and coarse control of feed warp points

When on a KVM or on a laptop trackpad it tends to be easier to use a keyboard than use the cursor. Using the keyboard means the points move really slowly though. Adding modifiers means easier control of points without the movement being forced to be one slow speed. The following modifiers have been added:
- Holding Ctrl while moving feed warp points with arrow keys causes them to move in smaller increments

- Holding Shift while moving feed warp points with arrow keys causes them to move in larger increments

• DSOF-26395 Allow users to use field of view for XR calibration when focus encoder unreliable

If a tracking system is not sending a reliable focus encoder value, it can be preferable to disable it and use the field of view instead as a basis for XR calibration. Now, when the focus encoder value in the camera tracking source is disabled, it will be overwritten by the horizontal field of view if the focal length value is enabled

This value is shown as the zoom value when doing XR spatial calibrations, and is also used as the zoom encoder value when interpolating calibrated lens poses during operation

When overriding, the field in the tracking source is highlighted red, with the help text explaining why it is overridden. Similar highlighting and help text is also shown when the field is locked from the spatial calibration. All the equivalent of above is also true for focus encoder, overriding with focus distance where available.

New APIs have been added to failover a machine using the API. The following endpoints have been added and are documented at https://developer.disguise.one as well as in the documentation bundled with Designer which can be accessed from d3Manager at Help->Open API Documentation

/failover/applydefaultrouting
/failover/failovermachine
/failover/restoremachine
/failover/settings

• DSOF-26470 IP VFC: inform a user when no SFPs are connected

When using an IP-VFC card, we have added error reporting into the feed scene in the form of a tooltip for the ‘Sync Mode’ button. 

When a user is using the PTP option in sync mode, if there is no compatible 25Gb SFP in Port 1 on the IP-VFC then the sync mode button will turn red and a message will state the Disguise media server and VFC slot number which has the invalid configuration as seen below:

When a user is using the  EXT option in sync mode, if there is no compatible single or dual SDI SFP in Ports 3 and/or 4 on the IP-VFC then the sync mode button will turn red and a message will state the Disguise media server and VFC slot number which has the invalid configuration.

• DSOF-26538 IPVFC - change PTP_LOCKED mode name to PTP_SYNC

When using IP-VFC, we have changed the name of the PTP sync mode located under the Sync Info tab in the IP-VFC control widget from PTP_LOCKED to PTP_SYNC

When using the IP-VFC in ST 2110 mode, we have changed the NMOS device label so that it clearly states the slot that it is occupying on the Disguise media server, for example ‘Slot 1’. In previous releases, the NMOS device label of each IP-VFC would be ‘Disguise Port 0’. 

We have also changed the NMOS node label to be the user-defined name, which is often changed from the Windows name to match the role in which it occupies within the d3net session i.e. Actor01.

• DSOF-25640 - Fixed an issue that occurred when as an Editor, you were not prompted to join a session when opening project file

We have added a notification to warn the user that an unsupported audio codec is recognised when using embedded audio, and to convert the audio codec to either ‘sowt’ or ‘twos’.

• DSOF-25873 Define a certain degree of a cylinder mapping

We have added an Arc field to allow users to choose the degree, (0 to 360,) of coverage on a Cylindrical Mapping. This option is the same as the Arc field on the Spherical Mapping

• DSOF-25936 Auto-select first enabled layer in feed warp editor

In previous releases, when a user left-clicked the + button under Deformation layers - found within the Edit Warp Menu in the feed view - the first deformation layer was selected, even if the deformation layer had been disabled. In r27.1 the first deformation layer that is selected is the first one within the stack that is enabled.

• DSOF-26029 OmniCal: export unstructured point clouds (without invalid points)

We have enabled users to be able to export unstructured point clouds when using OmniCal. Structured point clouds directly correspond to the 2D grid output by projectors, and will include invalid points as NaN values. These values are usually those that were not visible to enough cameras or where 3D reconstruction failed. Unstructured point clouds provide no invalid points as NaN values within the export.

 This can be found in the Advanced section in OmniCal Calibration and clicking on ‘Save PointCloud’. This will save four PCD files for each projector grid within the Optical Stage Plan folder:

• Aligned and unaligned (as captured)
• Structured and unstructured 

• DSOF-21670 DMX String: Now defaults to 1 fixture

• DSOF-26250 - Fixed an Access Violation when using VR headset

r27 introduces a number of improvements specific to Disguise media servers with a Matrox SDI capture card installed. These include:

• Mixed frame rate support - users can now work with any combination of video resolution formats and refresh rates across each video input. This resolves the outstanding TA-19: Matrox Video capture cards advisory found here

New 2.5D Workflow

The new 2.5D workflow is also covered in the Disguise User Guide, together with a demonstration video, here.

What is 2.5D?

2.5D workflows bridge the gap between traditional 2D video plates and full 3D generative scenes.  By building up a scene with layers of images or video plates, with the possibility to add depth or shaping to the plates, users can quickly create a realistic-looking scene with parallax. 2.5D assets can be saved as .2p5d files and shared across projects or created using external integrations such as Cuebric to harness the power of generative AI to optionally create the image or just to speed up the process of image segmentation using AI.

What has changed?

2.5D has been possible with Designer prior to 26.3, however, it required the manual creation of plates using a projection surface per plate, manually applying specific settings to each plate, and the use of a StageRender layer. With r26.3, 2.5D has been made a first-class citizen in Designer with its own layer type and the concept of a 2.5D asset. This dramatically increases the usability and speeds up the workflow, as well as making it more intuitive and less error-prone.

In addition, the Cuebric integration speeds up the pipeline between the creative and volume control stages of the end-to-end workflow.

How-To

The following instructions assume an LED and MRset have already been set up in the Designer project

To set up a 2.5D asset from an existing .2p5d file:

1. Copy the .2p5d file to objects/2p5DFile in the project folder
2. Add a 2.5D layer to the timeline
3. Click on the asset field in the 2.5D layer. The copied 2p5d file should appear in the list of assets
4. Click on the asset to select it, it should then load and be visible in the stage
5. Select the desired 3D mapping in the 2.5D layer, e.g. MR set backplate
6. To reload the asset from the file and overwrite any local changes, click ‘Reload from file’ under Import/Export in the 2.5D asset editor

To create a new 2.5D asset from scratch:

1. Add a 2.5D layer to the timeline
2. Click on the asset field in the 2.5D layer, and create a new 2.5D asset
3. Add a new 2.5D plate to the ‘plates’ field in the 2.5D asset
4. Under ‘Layer Stack’ in the plate editor, click ‘Add Video’ to add a video or image to the plate
5. Continue adding plates and modifying their properties until the desired scene composition is achieved
6. Select the desired 3D mapping in the 2.5D layer, e.g. MR set backplate
7. To export the asset for use in other projects, click ‘Export to file’ under Import/Export in the 2.5D asset editor. The exported .2p5d file will appear under objects/2p5DFile in the project folder.

Modifying 2.5D asset properties:

• The 2.5D asset is an Object which can have its offset and rotation set by changing the values in the editor or moving the white box in the visualiser. Doing so changes moves all the plates to change the origin point of the 2.5D scene. It is recommended that the origin is set roughly in the middle of the range of movement of the camera, to achieve the most realistic-looking parallax.
• The ‘Field of view’ and ‘Maximum depth’ fields can be adjusted to scale the total area encompassed by the 2.5D scene. This can be used to ensure that the edges of the plates are not seen when moving the camera within its expected range.
• Plates can be added to or removed from the asset using the +/- buttons in the ‘Plates’ field. Plates are ordered by depth, and reordering the plates in the list will update the plates' depth to reflect their new positions.
• The Import/Export settings can be used to load or save .2p5d files. When loading files that contain depth maps, the ‘Depth map minimum override’ setting can be used to change the minimum distance from the origin, represented by full white in the depth map.

Modifying 2.5D plate properties:

• The plate depth can be changed by modifying the z offset value, or by dragging the plate in the visualiser. If the option ‘Scale with depth’ is ticked, the scale and x/y offsets will automatically be adjusted with depth so that the plate looks the same when viewed from the asset origin. If ‘Scale with depth’ is not ticked, the scale and x/y offsets will not change, so the plate will appear smaller as it moves further away.
• By default new plates will be scaled to match the total field of view of the asset. However, the scale values can be adjusted in the 2.5D plate editor to change the scale. Similarly, the x and y offsets can be adjusted to move the plate position.
• The plate’s mesh can be changed to add depth to a layer and make the parallax effect more realistic. Some .2p5d files will contain depth maps, which will be converted to meshes when importing. To remove the depth from the plate, the standard rectangle mesh can be selected instead.
• The plate Layer Stack is used to set up the layers appearing on the plate. To quickly add an image or video to the plate, use the ‘Add Video’ button. Otherwise, layers can be created as normal and stacked to create effects such as blur or colour adjust. Note that these layers can’t be keyframed, see ‘Advanced Workflows’ for methods to keyframe layers on plates.

Advanced workflows:

The 2.5D layer and assets are designed to provide a user-friendly way to quickly create 2.5D scenes which are portable between projects. The standard workflow should allow for the majority of use cases, however, more advanced workflows can also be achieved by combining 2.5D assets with other tools in Designer.

• Generally, images, videos, and effects should be added to plates using the plate Layer Stack. However, this does not allow for keyframing within these layers. To keyframe content on plates, layers should be added to the timeline as normal. Content can be mapped to 2.5D plates from the timeline similarly to any other display.
• 2.5D assets and plates are both Objects, so it is possible to animate them from the timeline, or parent assets to other objects which are controlled using tracking data
• The ‘Stage render layer’ which was used for 2.5D workflows prior to r26.3 still functions as it did previously, so it is still possible to use the old workflow if desired.

Cuebric Integration

Cuebric is a web-based tool for creating 2.5D scenes with the help of AI. For more information visit https://cuebric.com/.

With r26.3, 2.5D scenes can be exported from Cuebric and imported into Disguise. At the time of writing, the Cuebric scene is exported from Cuebric by clicking on “Plug & Play 3D” in the Segmentation view under the Depth option. Once exported, follow the instructions in the section above on “To set up a 2.5D asset from an existing .2p5d file”.

When the Cuebric export includes AI-generated mapping depth information, Designer will auto-generate a 3D mesh from the depth data to add shape to the plates.

To remove the depth mapping from the plate, the standard rectangle mesh can be selected instead in the plate properties.

• DSOF-16666 Simple FBX mesh support

The FBX file format can now be successfully imported into Designer as a single mesh, meaning that users can now export models without the need for conversion from their respective 3D tool of choice. These can be used in the schematic, lux and heatmap renderers. Any FBX mesh will be imported with global positions, and non-triangulated meshes are triangulated on import. FBX files imported with up to 3x UV maps are supported. 

It is important to note the following mitigations with this feature:

• Object hierarchies found within the FBX file in Designer are currently not supported

FBX file format support can be used with the option switch enabled. To access, right click on a project folder in d3manager, select ‘Advanced project settings’ and then select ‘enableFbxMeshImport’. Please contact product-team@disguise.one for feedback on this feature.

• DSOF-22271 TransportJumpCommand locations should use time adjusted by timecode tag when using timecode location

When making a TransportJumpCommand in the TransportControl module, the location value has the option of being set with ‘CUE <cue>’ or timecode. 

In previous releases, when there are timecome tags on the track that a user wants to specify a location on, the timecode displayed in the GUI is based on the timecode tags, but the location that the TransportJumpCommand uses does not take the timecode tags into account.

In r26, the location for TransportJumpCommand now uses the time adjusted by timecode tags when using the timecode location. 

• DSOF-23321 Show RenderStream proxy stream status in the GUI

We have added RenderStream proxy information in the RenderStream Editor widget.

• DSOF-23699 Make list/grid view selection for media/texture browsers persistent

In previous releases, the behaviour of the media and texture browser in Designer was not persistent when a user would switch between grid view and list view. In r26 we have made the selection of grid or list view in the media/texture browser to remain persistent across all machines running in a session.

• DSOF-23810 Add FBX ASCII format for Shot Recorder export

Users can now export data from the Shot Recorder to the FBX ASCII format.

• DSOF-24041 XR: improve usability of Tracker Delay UI

We have made a number of changes to the Tracker Delay UI. These include changing the overlay colour from magenta to red to signify when no tracking data was captured, or the delay is set to too low or too high. We have also introduced help text in a number of areas of the UI to provide instruction on the Tracker Delay process.

• DSOF-24066 Alert the user when video lookup times becomes unstable or if errors are high

We have added a visible notification within the UI to notify users that the video receive delay is set incorrectly during the spatial calibration process when working with MR Sets. The calibration will be highlighted in red, and hovering over the row with a mouse will explain that there is a video receive delay error and to perform the delay calibration again. 

• DSOF-24089 DSV capture: minor performance optimisations
• DSOF-24090 DSV capture: add dropped frames detection
• DSOF-24099 Shorten RenderStream workload/stream friendly names for the UI

In previous releases, RenderStream workloads and streams were identified within the UI through a 64 bit unique ID to enable users to reference each stream. In r26 we have shortened the RenderStream workload names to make it more straightforward for a user to reference each RenderStream workload.

• DSOF-24153 Expressions: if expressions are broken, the layer they are used in should change colour as well as the parameter

In previous releases, if an incorrect Expression had been written then this would be flagged to the user by turning the parameter orange in colour. 

In r26 we have included the layer that is using the Expression to also change to red in colour so that the user is notified that the Expression is incorrect. If the layer is in a group, then the group will turn red when the layer it contains turns red.

We have also included an error message on the layer via a tooltip. If a user corrects the Expression then the layer will return to its default colour.

• DSOF-24160 Better texture buffer management for LogicalVideoInDevice
• DSOF-24166 Make list editors stickyable

In r26 we have enabled users to pin ListEditors to the Designer UI by clicking the pin in the top left hand side of each ListEditor as seen in the image below.

• DSOF-24271 Change default location for d3 Projects to D:Drive after reimaging a disguise media server

In r26 we have changed the default location for d3 Projects to be in the D:Drive after reimaging a disguise media server. In previous releases, a user would be pointed towards the Documents folder whereas all Designer projects should be located in the D:Drive.

• DSOF-24375 Include display master brightness in the feed UI

We have included the master brightness of LED screens and projectors within the feed UI. This can be seen as a percentage underneath the name of each screen, as shown in the screenshot below.

DSOF-23201 Improve lens tracking source workflows

In r25 we have made a number of improvements to the camera tracking workflow within Designer. 

To add a tracking source to a camera:

1. Under Devices, add a PositionReceiver
2. In the PositionReceiver under Drivers, add the relevant tracking driver and set it up to receive tracking data
3. Engage the position receiver
4. Create a Camera in the Stage
5. Under the Camera Settings, select tracking source. This should have been automatically generated by the driver once tracking data started to be received
6. Data from the tracking source should start overwriting the values in the camera

General UI Improvements

We have now highlighted values in the camera that have been overridden when using external tracking sources or spatial calibrations. We have also added tooltips that indicate to the user that each value has been overridden.

We have also added an ‘Open Driver’ button to go straight to the driver from the tracking source, and vice versa we have added an ‘Open Tracking Sources’ button in the driver to go to the tracking source to improve navigation.

Added receive time smoothing to tracking sources

Within the tracking source, we have added a number of new options. The first is the ‘Smooth receive time’ box, which when turned on smooths out the tracking data received by disguise, but may add a small amount of latency. This was previously an always-on option but can now be optionally turned on or off by the user.  

Added the ability to disable particular axes in tracking sources

The Values box can be expanded to provide all values being provided within the tracking source, and these will be highlighted in green. There are also check boxes next to each value to allow users to untick values that they don’t want passed through to the tracking source. These values will change within the camera when unticked, and can be edited by the user manually within the camera. 

To toggle values applied from the tracking source:

1. From the Camera, open the Tracking Source editor
2. Expand the Values separator
3. Values highlighted in green are being received from the tracking source. Values with a dark grey background are not being received. Values with a light grey background are received but toggled off
4. Untick the checkbox to stop the value being applied in the camera
5. Tick the checkbox to apply values again

We have also added a ‘Delays’ option within the tracking source to apply lens delay offset if required.

In previous releases, if users had a tracking source that failed to send a particular value then we would have used a dummy value on the camera. In r25 we now leave the value that has been provided by the tracking source and will not replace them with a dummy value.  

Lens focus parameters for tracking sources

We have also added parameters for controlling focus and depth of field parameters. This has currently been implemented for RenderStream Unreal Engine assets only. Within the Unreal project, the user has to select the ‘CineCamera’ for the channel. 

To use lens focus parameters:

1. Set up a RenderStream layer with an Unreal asset, with a channel created from a CineCamera
2. Map the channel to a Camera or MR set backplate or frontplate
3. Start the RenderStream workload
4. Adjust the ‘Focus mode’ under Camera / Physical / Lens / Focus. There are three options:

1. Disabled - no depth of field. Focus mode is disabled by default
2. Manual - use this mode to turn on the feature. Focus distance and aperture can be adjusted manually to adjust the depth of field. These can also be received from tracking sources which provide them
3. Object Tracking - select an object in Designer to calculate the focus distance from. The aperture will be changed manually or received from tracking data, and the focus distance will be controlled by tracking the specific object within your scene

5. Adjusting the lens focus parameters in the camera should cause the depth of field effect to change in Unreal Engine

Tracking Smoothing graph

We have added tracking smoothing graphs to help debug tracking issues. The lines in the graph can be interpreted as follows:

• Lookup offset (ms) - this is the time in milliseconds between the smooth tracking data that we are looking up, and the latest data received. This should almost never go below zero, as that would mean that we have received the tracking data too late to be able to smooth it. If it is consistently much greater than zero, this means that we are adding unnecessary additional latency whilst waiting to receive smooth data
• Index delta - the change in index of the tracking data that we look up in the buffer across each frame within Designer. If the tracking frame rate is twice the Designer frame rate, this would be around 2. The smoothness of this line shows the success of the receive time smoothing. We are aiming for a consistent index offset between each packet of tracking data that we look up
• Received delta - the change in the receive time of the tracking data of each frame. This shows us how smooth the tracking data would be without receive time smoothing. It can be compared against the ‘Index delta’ line to check that receive time smoothing is working
• Instantaneous smooth data delay (ms) - indicates how far we would have to look in the buffer to ensure that we have received tracking based on the latest received packets. This is aggregated over time to give a stable lookup time
• Local smooth data delay - the maximum smooth data delay for this specific machine
• Global smooth data delay - the maximum smooth data delay over all machines. This is particularly relevant when we are redistributing tracking data across machines. It should provide a consistent period to look back in the buffer to ensure that we have smooth tracking data

DSOF-7571 BlackTrax: Implement BlackTrax Centroid calculations

We have implemented centroid tracking sources into the RTTrPMDriver within the PositionDriver devices. This means that we can now receive centroid data within disguise for Blacktrax tracking systems.

DSOF-22936 Add ARRI LDS as a device driver for receive lens data native from Arri Cameras

We have added Arri LDS within the PositionReceiver devices so that users can receive metadata from Arri cameras into disguise - that being focal length, aspect ratio, vertical and horizontal field of view, sensor size, aperture, and focus distance.

DSOF-22279 Ensure Quad-SDI VFC output signal is not interrupted after configuration

In previous releases, the output from a Quad-SDI VFC card would be interrupted if a project would be restarted within Designer

In r25, if a user was to restart a project within Designer then the output from a Quad-SDI VFC card would be the same resolution as it was before the project was restarted. This prevents the signal being interrupted upon restarting a project within Designer.

The only time that an output will be interrupted from a Quad-SDI VFC will be if a disguise media server was restarted or powered off, or when apply feed settings is executed.

DSOF-22410 Support focus and iris data in FBX export from shot recorder

In r25 we have added both aperture and focus distance to the default parameter collection for new cameras within the Shot Recorder feature. These properties can also be set within the Shot Recorder FBX export. 

DSOF-22460 Keep last-known camera position if camera tracking drops

In previous releases, when camera tracking is lost, the camera will revert back to 0,0,0. In r25, the camera tracking will remain at the last tracked camera position.

DSOF-22672 Make common base project for d3api and d3service

DSOF-22837 Write functionality to clear up exported glb, movie and metadata files

We have added an improvement to the Previz Link within Designer in r25 to clear up disk space by deleting old export files related to Previz that are no longer being used by any other application. Any export file that is still being used will not be deleted until the next time a clean-up takes place, where again we will only delete export files that are no longer being used by any application. 

DSOF-22937 Move nginx logs to d3 app data directory instead of in program files

In r25, nginx logs have been moved from the program files path to C:\Users\d3\AppData\Local\d3\nginx

DSOF-22995 GUI: The layer editor should move to front open keyframe editors when it gains focus

In previous releases, when working on a large timeline that overlaps on-screen with a layer editor, if a user was to click on the layer editor to focus on it, the layer editor widget would be foreground but the keyframe editor would be behind the timeline. In r25, when a user brings a layer editor into focus, the keyframe editor will now foreground with it. 

DSOF-23002 Sequencing: On project upgrade, disable sequencing for all fields which are not sequenced

In previous releases, if a project was upgraded from a version of Designer that did not support the Keyframe Toggle (before r20.0), all fields were set to have Keyframes enabled. This required a significant amount of tidying to be able to benefit from the Keyframe Toggle. In r25, we have enabled any fields that only have 1 frame and therefore no sequencing should have the Keyframe Toggle automatically set to off on project upgrade.

DSOF-23110 Videoins with placeholder images should have the resolution of the placeholder.

In previous releases, when adding a Videoin for a placeholder image, the video would be set to the last resolution of the video input received by disguise. In r25, if a Videoin is added with a placeholder image, the video will be set to the resolution of the placeholder image that is used. The Videoin will override the placeholder image resolution when it is available.

DSOF-23245 Optimize DmxScreenRead layer

In previous releases, it was reported that the DmxScreenRead layer was impacting the performance of Designer. We have now optimised the layer.

DSOF-23336 IP VFC SDP file paths should be discoverable

We have added a ‘Copy SDP path to clipboard’ button within the IP-VFC settings menu. This includes the SDP path that can be copied and added onto a ST 2110 receiver device, such as the Megapixel Helios.

DSOF-23646 GET activetransport API should return the selected track for each transport

We have enabled the ActiveTransport API to return the currently selected track for each transport. This can be found within the GET activetransport API, where we have included a currentTrack property that indicates the current selected track of a given transport. 

DSOF-23756 Add double dot RS plugin version to schema JSON

We have added a new RenderStream release naming convention to include double dots for plugin-specific hotfixes. This can now be seen within the Designer GUI.

DSOF-23808 Implement support for Arri Alexa LogCv4 to ACES workflow

Q-SDI VFC Firmware advisory

Background:

SDI VFCs are unable to achieve a guaranteed genlock to an interlaced genlock signal. There is 50% chance there will be a phase offset of 1 field (180 degrees). This is due to the way in which the sync cards for both AMD and NVidia GPUs detect genlock signals.

Firmware version 1.9.0 adds a button to reverse the field, which enables you to revert to the alternate field if genlock is phase offset. To properly use this feature, you will need to have the relevant equipment to be able to measure the phase of the SDI output.

Firmware version 1.9.0 requires the use of r17 or greater.

Impact of Issue:

Any Q-SDI VFC shipped with firmware 1.8.0 or earlier and needing to lock to interlaced Genlock Signal

Affected Hardware:

All Q-SDI VFC shipped with previous firmware versions.

How to determine the current firmware version:

• Populate VFC compatible disguise machine with only the SDI cards you want to check.
• Run vfcfirmwareupdater.exe located at C:\Program Files\d3 Production Suite\build\msvc
• Check Firmware Version

How to update to v1.9.0:

• Populate any VFC compatible disguise machine with only the SDI cards required to be updated.
• Download the VFC firmware update from: https://d3packages.s3.amazonaws.com/vfc/quad_sdi_vfc_v1-9-0.rbf
• Run vfcfirmwareupdater.exe located at C:\Program Files\d3 Production Suite\build\msvc
• Click Choose file and load the downloaded VFC firmware update. The filename should be quad_sdi_vfc_v1-9-0.rbf
• Slots will be automatically selected. Ensure only SDI type cards have this firmware update applied to them.

• Click Update Firmware, the update will start and will take between 10-25 minutes.

• On completion, the Firmware version field will not update until all cards have finished updating and have been re-initialised and detected.

• DSOF-3357 Ability to view waveform of audio in modules

The audio waveform allows users to visualise the audio output of a single layer, a collection of layers or the quantized audio track while working in the keyframe editor. This permits them to add keyframes while taking audio output as a consideration at a glance.

How-To

To visualise the audio waveform of one or more layers:

1. Create one or more audio layers

2. Set the audio track of the layer(s)

3. Open a keyframe editor

4. Right-click in the keyframe editor area to access the options

5. Click on

a. layer to visualise the waveform of the currently opened layer

b. combined to visualise the collective waveform of multiple layers

To visualise the audio waveform of the quantized audio:

1. Add an audio track to the track

2. Open a keyframe editor

3. Right-click in the keyframe editor area to access the options

4. Click on quantised to visualise the waveform of the timeline audio track

Key widget audio waveform modes

• DSOF-7298 Dynamic Layer Naming

This feature allows users to rename layers with dynamic tags that will be automatically replaced in the rename process by specific values in the layer.

How-To

1. When renaming a layer either by right-clicking on the layer or pressing alt+r this feature is available.

2. When renaming the layer you can use words between curly braces to create dynamic tags like this {special tag}

3. Hitting rename on a layer will then automatically replace the text in that tag with special values based on the tags.

4. The tags that are supported are:

a. {type} is replaced by the type of the layer.

b. {index} is replaced by an incrementing index starting from 1. i. You can append a number after \"index\" as the start number (e.g. {index5}).

c. {currentname} is replaced by the current name of the layer.

d. {<field>} will be replaced with the name of the first keyframe in the layer with the name <field> i. Examples: {mapping}, {speed}, {blend mode}. ii. If a field is not present in the layer the {<field>} text will be removed from the final name.

5. Typing in a layer name with mis-matching {} tags will stop renaming and make the rename widget turn red with an explanatory tooltip.

Documentation:

Right-clicking on the field will bring up the documentation as described above as well as text boxes that save the last rename used and places for the user to store renames that are used frequently.

Renaming multiple layers:

When renaming multiple layers the user is presented with a confirmation dialogue that shows a preview of the renames to occur. At this stage the user can either abort or finish the renaming. This dialog can be toggled on and off with a toggle.

• DSOF-11013 Support for YUV 4:4:4 modes from the Quad-SDI VFC card at 1080p when using Firmware 1.9.0

We have enabled support for YUV 4:4:4 chroma subsampling from the Quad-SDI VFC card after updating the firmware to 1.9.0: 1080p30, 1080p29.97, 1080p25, 1080p24, 1080p23.98

• DSOF-14192 Bank Editor detach and attach resource view options

We have enabled users to detach the Resources view from the Bank Editor, making access easier when working with lots of resources. To access this feature, open the ‘options’ menu on the Bank Editor and click on ‘Detach Resource View’. This allows users to have the Resources view separate to the Bank Editor. Each view can be made larger or smaller according to what is required, and users can still drag and drop files into the Bank Editor. The Resource View can be reattached by opening the ‘options’ menu on the Bank Editor and click on ‘Attach Resource View’.

• DSOF-20481 "Apply Matrix Feed Routing" button added to Feed Output

We have added an “Apply Matrix Feed Routing” button in the Feed Output menu. This enables users to send the Matrix In-Out settings and Presets to the corresponding Matrix, and avoid mismatching between Designer and the Matrix. In previous releases, Designer would not send the Matrix In-Out Settings and Presets to the Matrix.

• DSOF-22859 Tell the user which Expression doesn't match any known Resources

In previous releases, when we cannot match a name in an Expressions with any loaded resources, we do a potentially very costly brute-force search as warned in a notification. In r24 we tell the user we now notify the user which name can’t be matched so that it can be fixed.

• DSOF-13096 Projector editor should use checkboxes

We have enabled a check box in the Dynamic Blend dropdown on the Projector editor menu to enable and disable Dynamic Blend, and to Use Snapshot (yes/no).

• DSOF-13485 Improve soft edge gradient with S curve

We have enabled a predefined S curve interpolation that can be used as an option to the linear curve when generating custom softedge textures. This can be found as a ‘S Curve Interpolation’ toggle when creating a SoftEdgeTexture mask editor.

• DSOF-14203 Sockpuppet: auto populate error message to include bank and slot for easy navigation

We have adjusted the error message found when users are notified that there is an Auto Populate Conflict in the Bank Editor within Sockpuppet. The new error message outlines “Bank X / Slot X already contains Media_Name.mov - couldn’t auto-populate older media Media_Name.mov”

• DSOF-15109 OSC output data for 'trackposition' should match Designer timeline

When adding an OSC Event Transport to the current transport, we have enabled the track position from the OSC output data to match the timeline markers within the Designer GUI.

• DSOF-20363 Inconsistent Tag notification should tell users to amend their naming

The ‘Version tag inconsistent’ notification tells users that the folder or file name may need amending.

• DSOF-20382 Ability to override alpha rendering order

In previous releases, when working with two LED or projection surfaces with the blend mode set to alpha, the default behaviour would be that surface 1 would always cover surface 2. In r24 we have enabled a ‘depth sort override’ that enables users to manually override the depth sorting. Objects with lower values will be rendered before objects with higher values.

• DSOF-20581 Add ability to override un-sockpuppeted controls in video layers to take from the video clip instead of from the timeline

Sockpuppet layers expose 4 frames on the layer that are usually set directly on the video clip object when used with a normal video module - those being Frame Index, Trim Frames, Loop In Frame, and Loop Out Frame. These are exposed on the Sockpuppet Video Module in order to control them via Sockpuppet.

We have enabled the ability to set an option switch called overrideUnpatchedMediaFields which mean that the Frame Index, Trim Frames, Loop In Frame and Loop Out Frame fields will be taken from the video clip instead of being directly sequenced when they are not used in Sockpuppet. When these fields on the layer are used in Sockpuppet then they behave as expected and can be controlled by Sockpuppet external controls.

• DSOF-21087 Improve input/output transform widget usability
• DSOF-21351 Allow user to export compositor and output frames to content directory

We have enabled users to capture a single frame from the output or compositor feed so that it can be used as content within a scene. We have added ‘Export Compositor Frame’ and ‘Export Output Frame’ in the Feed View.

• DSOF-21392 Add hotkey for jumping to the end of the track

We have added a hotkey [End] that enables users to jump the playhead to the end of the current track.

• DSOF-21563 Detect when d3service is not running on disguise servers and advise
• DSOF-21711 Add inverse transform for RED Wide Gamut

We have added an option for RED Wide Gamut, a colour space designed to encompass every colour that is recordable by RED’s current and past cameras. This can be found in ACES mode under the list of Output Transforms (ODTs) under ‘Camera’.

• DSOF-21712 Add Gamma 2.6 utility transforms

We have added an option for Gamma 2.6 in the utility output transform list for both Input Transforms (IDT) and ODTs to support users working with projector and LED screens that operate with a gamma of 2.6 in Designer. In previous releases, Gamma 2.2 and Gamma 2.4 were available.

• DSOF-22043 Profiler widget should not bring up the text write-out and graphs on default

We have removed the text write out of the trace and various graphs from the profiler widget, which can be found by pressing CTRL + ALT + P. The widget provides buttons to change the profiler name, start and stop recording, and live monitor which will then bring up the original text write out and various graphs.

• DSOF-22553 Searching in media lists should have the option to behave like a filter

We have enabled users to be able to specify in any objectview how they’d like searching and filtering in all object views to behave. This can be accessed by pressing the little arrow next to the search bar in the object view.

There are two options - Alphabetical Filter and Relevance Search. The option selected will be machine-wide and will not transfer to other editors/controllers in the session. It will also persist through restart.

• DSOF-22741 BRGW fixture We have added the ability for users to add BRG + White (BRGW) fixtures within Designer.
• DSOF-22847 Make sure receive health widget keeps updating between launch of RenderStream

We have enabled the Receive Health widget for RenderStream continues to update when RenderStream is stopped and restarted so that it can be pinned as a way of monitoring the health of RenderStream.

• DSOF-22974 Audio waveform: Keyframe widget options need more context

We have added text labels for each section of the Keyframe widget that describe the section controls for Keyframe Interpolation, Audio Visualisation and Key Mode.

• DSOF-23006 Transport Manager: Incoming clock should be displayed even when transport disengaged

In previous releases, ‘Not engaged’ was shown when the transport was disabled. We have enabled users to see the incoming timecode within the Transport Manager widget. The timecode is shown but greyed out to demonstrate that the timecode status is known. If the timecode clock is running, it will update in the Transport Manager widget. If the timecode clock is not running, the last time received will be shown.

• Designer Public APIs

A suite of revamped and extended HTTP APIs for Designer are available in this release.

A new website for full documentation is available at https://developer.disguise.one, including

general guidance, API method documentation and OpenAPI JSON specification download.

The API documentation is also available from within Designer itself, by following the menu option

in d3manager -> Help -> Open API Documentation.

The new APIs fall into two categories: The Service APIs relate to functionality provided by the

d3service runtime and are available whenever disguise is installed on a machine. The Session

APIs relate to the currently running session and as such are only available when the d3 runtime is

running.

The previously existing V1 API, found at /api/v1, should be considered deprecated as of the launch

of the stable API set under the Service and Session APIs.

New API integrations should not target the V1 API and should instead use the APIs documented

under /api/service and /api/session. No new APIs or functionality will be added to V1, however the

V1 API will be maintained for the foreseeable future and we will give notice if we plan to remove it

in the future.

• Export Designer Scene to Disguise Cloud Previz

Previz link allows the user to export their stage and content from Designer, and upload it to disguise drive as a Previz Scene. With a URL to the uploaded Previz Scene, users and disguise show programmers can share the current state of the disguise show without restricting the end customers with baked-in camera angles, or having to install Designer themselves.

How-To

1. Ensure that you are logged in to your disguise cloud account via d3Manager

2. Access the cloud export editor either by:

a. shift-selecting a portion of the timeline, or

b. opening the d3 state editor

3. Select the disguise drive organisation and drive to export the Previz scene to, refreshing the storage information if new organisations and drives have been created

4. Choose to either export the highlighted portion of the timeline, or the whole timeline

5. Click on Export and wait for the progress bar to complete

6. Click “Copy URL to Clipboard” and paste it in the the web browser address bar to open uploaded scene in Previz.

• DSOF-20573 Support exporting stage from Designer in glTF format

We have enabled users to be able to export stages in Designer in gITF to support files to disguise

drive as a Previz scene. Under the stage menu export section, change the extension to either gltf

or glb. The option button will also become available which will contain some material and

compression settings.

• DSOF-21736 Live Action Volume

Live Action Volume allows users to define a region of an XR stage which contains ‘live action’, e.g. performers and props. All areas outside this volume will be covered with virtual set extension, rather than exposing the filmed LED screens.

The reasons for doing this include:
1. To mask on-stage objects outside the performance region (e.g. cameras, lights).
2. To make more of the frame be taken up by virtual content, which seamlessly blends with the filmed screens within the live action volume.

How-To

To add a live action volume to an XR setup:

1. Create an object (e.g prop, screen etc.)
2. Change the object’s render layer to ‘Live action volume’
3. Set the object’s mesh and more it to the desired location on the stage to contain all the live action
4. Multiple live action objects can be created to cover disconnected regions of live action

Usage notes:

Live action volume objects (along with set extension mask and addition objects) apply globally. All objects in the stage in these layers will automatically modify the set extensions of all MR sets, without needing to be added to the MR set ‘On-stage’ object list.

On-Stage objects positioned behind or in front of a Live Action Volume won’t make them covered by the Set Extension unless they are on the side of it as we only render the Live Action Volume in 2D.

• DSOF-3606 Ability to set non-SMPTE timecode for frame accurate sequencing in any frame rate

We have created an option to set Custom Timeline FPS to support frame accurate sequencing. This is made available in the Timecode Collapsible widget found in the right-click menu for Transport.

• DSOF-11343 Debug log window resize

It is now possible to resize the debug log window, which makes it much more user friendly.

• DSOF-12624 Notify user of new or mismatching VFC firmware

If the VFC firmware is found to be old or mismatching, this is now flagged with a notification stating “Found old VFC firmware”.

• DSOF-15168 All objects should be able to be used as set extension masks/additions without adding as an on-stage object in the MR set

In order to add set extension masks or set extension additions, it is no longer necessary for these to be part of the MR set. All objects in the relevant layers can work as masks or additions, without  needing to be in the MR set.

• DSOF-19189 Show film strip of a clip in the key frame editor

The film strip for a video is now available in the key frame editor. This is useful to get an overview of the content without having to play it through. This feature is disabled by default, and can be enabled by unchecking the “Disable key frame editor film strip” option in the Project Settings.

• DSOF-20495 Add mellanox dumps to system diagnostics

Mellanox crash dumps are now included in the system diagnostics.

• DSOF-20669 Remove blue flash watermark from feed view

The Feed view has been modified so that both the Feed Rectangle and Feed Output behaviour is consistent. In previous releases, the Feed Rectangle would fade to blue while the Feed Output would not fade 

For a non-server Designer machine, the Feed rectangle will fade to blue (on gold release) or purple (on a beta release) every 10 mins. The Feed Output will exhibit the same behaviour.

For any disguise server, the Feed Rectangle shall never fade on a gold release but fade to purple on a beta release. The Feed Output will exhibit the same behaviour.

• DSOF-20844 Indicate which machine is the local machine in d3manager

In d3manager, the local machine is now highlighted in bold. As a user, this is useful when accessing multiple machines via a KVM and needing to know which of the machines listed is the one you are logged onto.

• DSOF-21987 Cloud login improvements

The disguise cloud login functionality within Designer which was released in r22.2 has undergone several quality improvements.

• DSOF-21196 Add ability to customise the API endpoint

• DSOF-21618 ‘Cue table exported’ pop-up added

• DSOF-21623 Remove ‘HDMI 3840X2160 10bit’ warning

A confusing warning message in Notifications has been removed.

• DSOF-21633 Allow ALT+G to toggle GUI on all machine roles

• DSOF-21652 Don't render set extension mask when set extension alpha = 0

If the set extension alpha is set to zero, the software no longer renders the set extension mask as it is wasted effort. This performance improvement is applicable to VP setups where set extensions are not used.

• DSOF-21738 Virtual object camera visibility setting

The “Virtual Object Alpha” setting in a Camera enables objects which define regions of interest to be displayed in the visualiser with a specified level of alpha. This is useful for objects such as set extension mask/addition layers, live action volumes or 2.5D layers. 

In previous releases, these objects were not rendered to the camera which could make them difficult to interact with. This setting is now enabled by default in the visualiser camera, but not in other cameras. 

The example screenshot below shows layers of a 2.5D scene which have been output to the StageRender layer being displayed as translucent layers with this setting enabled. The setting is found in the Camera object under Stage Render / Render Settings / Object Visibility.

• DSOF-21785 Tidy up camera visibility settings

The settings of a Camera object have been tidied up in order to take up less space on the GUI, and makes it easier to manage.

• DSOF-21971 RenderStream assets which crash on startup leave no information for fault finding

In previous releases, if a RenderStream asset crashed on startup (before even renderstream.dll loads), there was no way to report why it crashed. In r23, this is now captured, and log files are placed in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\d3\renderstream_workloads folder, with a subfolder for the asset name, then “friendly” workload name. 

Each instance is stored into an instance_n.txt file, where n is the instance number within the workload. The log viewer in Designer is able to view the file via the Designer Logs share on the render machine, so access to all logs from assets which failed to start will be available too.

• DSOF-21984 RenderStream host memory applications need to be able to specify pixel format

This improvement is relevant for developers of RenderStream plugins. The pixel format was limited to BGRA8 pixel formats only on all versions of RenderStream up to 1.30. 

From RenderStream 1.31, the engine can now specify the memory it provides in the same way dx apps can use a reasonable selection of pixel formats in the textures they provide to the API.

• DSOF-22039 Add the ability to render 3D content from spherical mappings

Spherical mapping supports a new property called Content Mode which is set to 2D or 3D. When set to 2D, the behaviour is the same as previous releases. When set to 3D, RenderStream and other 3D layer types (StageRender, Notch and Renderstream) will render 6 views of their world in order to build the 6 tiles of a cube in order to generate 360 degree content.

The cube mapping viewpoints will be automatically created for render engines, resulting in 6 workloads - one for each side of the cube - and the resulting content is mapped for 360 degree coverage, i.e. a 360 degree arc around the spherical focal point. This achieves the same observed behaviour as equirectangular content which spherical mappings normally use.

• DSOF-22454 Run -NoVerifyGc Command on RenderStream Launch

RenderStream layers for Unreal Engine now pass through the -NoVerifyGc option by default for Unreal Engine RenderStream workloads. This significantly speeds up the launching of these workloads, without having to put this config in custom configuration.

• DSOF-22450 Implementation of Deltacast 8x channel capture card

We are now shipping new vx 4+ hardware with Deltacast capture cards. These can be identified within Designer in the following ways:

- Via the dropdown in the machine menu. The capture variant will be automatically selected as seen below:

- Via the available information in the d3manager “help” dropdown as “Capture Card Vendor”. Within this view, we have also included machine type, serial number, backplane model, and VFC card load

We have also enabled any vx 4+ with Deltacast capture be identified in the following ways:

- A note on the vx 4+ label on the rear of the machine indicating Deltacast capture

- Via the OLED in the machine field. Deltacast is listed as (De)

It is important to note that Deltacast capture is unable to decode the following formats:

- 2K DCIpsf30

Matrox Capture Card fixes

• DSOF-21743 Warning notification for Matrox SDK & driver mismatch has been improved. This notification will now only be visible on machines that actually have Matrox hardware installed.
• DSOF-21681 Fixed issue where a Matrox capture card could occasionally fail to create a system topology for specific inputs. Should improve stability of Matrox capture cards when receiving intermittent video signals.
• DSOF-21626 Fixed issue where after project restart on machines including Matrox video inputs could under certain conditions show up black and need to be remapped.
• DSOF-21605 Added support for capturing following Psf formats that were missing on Matrox capture cards:
  • 1080sf 23.98, 
  • 1080sf24, 
  • 1080p47.95 and 
  • 1080p48
• DSOF-21477 - Fixed an issue where noisy signals could cause flashes to black on Matrox input cards with “free running/locked” change notifications. For users that need genlock sync, we have added a ‘matroxInputClockEnabled’ option switch. Having it ON forces the capture card to only use the first connected SDI input as a genlock clock source. Having it OFF defaults the capture card to use its internal clock and not an external one.
• DSOF-21394 - Matrox cards will no longer consume excess memory leading to a machine blue-screen on d3 project close.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: This issue was related to supporting VITC (Video Timecode) processing on Matrox cards. To resolve it we have disabled VITC by default on machines with Matrox cards. If you want to re-enable it you can find a special option switch you will need to enabled under advanced machine settings called: matroxVITCEnabled

• disguise Cloud Integration

Designer r22.1 offers login to disguise Cloud through d3manager by clicking on the new “Sign In” button (circled red in the screenshot).

On sign in, you will be prompted to link your machine to your disguise Cloud account by following the on screen instructions. You can link your Designer install to an existing disguise Cloud account, or sign up for a new account.

If your Designer is not licensed, you will be able to acquire a Designer license via the Designer integration with disguise Cloud.

You can return to licence activation by clicking “Account” in the d3manager cloud menu. This will take you to your disguise Cloud account details page which includes Designer license activation functionality.

Further disguise Cloud integrated functionality in Designer will be rolled out over the coming months.

Please note:

The launch of r22 has also coincided with OS 200, both of which are major updates to disguise. The OS includes significant updates for a host of drivers to support the new features in r22, so if you currently own a disguise vx 1, vx 2, vx 4 or vx 4+, please make sure to download the latest OS upgrades for these machines from the Hardware section of our software download page to ensure their compatibility with r22 and future releases.

It is important to note that a project built in r22 will need to have the hardware specified for playback with an OS above 200. Once the hardware is updated to support OS 200 and above, there is no option to roll back to a previous OS version. Please follow this link for the advisory.

Single Large Canvas (SLC) - DSOF-13257, DSOF-12450, DSOF-12958

A Single Large Canvas (SLC) is a practically unlimited canvas that users can operate on without having to manually split canvases (i.e. the displays and mappings) or concern for the mechanics and logic of distributing content over multiple machines or for performance. SLC allows users to focus on the creative side without concern for the practical limitations of large scale projects.

Previously a show going from a small venue with HD screens to a large venue with massive screens had to work around GPU limits - like the max internal resolution of 16384x16384 pixels of GPUs - and manually split content across machines so the increased resolution wouldn’t affect performance.

SLC removes these limitations and allows you to operate on massive content as if it was a single large piece of content, while only processing the content that is being output by each individual machine in the session.

SLC works in conjunction with the Media Distribution feature to make working with video at massive resolutions practical.

If you have a show where SLC might be a required feature then we’d love to work with you. Please contact us at support@disguise.one.

How-To

The new logic is always enabled, but the SLC configuration is hidden and limited to non-SLC resolutions until explicitly enabled.

1. Tick the “enableSLC” option switch in advanced project settings a. The SLC config is now visible under d3->Advanced->SLC configuration b. SLC-aware display types (currently projection surfaces and LED screens) now have their default min/max set to 100,000x100,000 instead of 16384x16384.

2. Create a display larger than 16384x16384 or reduce the “Resolution threshold” in the SLC configuration to enable SLC splitting for that display.

3. Create SLC video content

a. Split video content into regions smaller than 16384x16384 (most codecs only support 8K) and include a region name into each split in the format “_region<region name>” b. Ingest the content and specify the regions inside d3 under <video clip>->Video asset->Regions

Usage notes:
● SLC currently only supports projection surfaces and LED screens. Other displays are still limited to 16k.
● SLC does not currently integrate with any other content than video.
● We have also enabled SLC to be combined with mesh projection in order to split large canvases across multiple machines.

Media Distribution - DSOF-11971

The new Media Distribution feature provides a built-in mechanism to easily ensure that the exact required media files are present on each d3 machine involved in a d3 session. There are two parts to the Distribute system:

1. Sync/copy missing media - copying media used by the d3 project and needed by a machine’s feed mapping.

2. Delete unused media - removing media that is not used by the d3 project.

The power of the Media Distribution feature is its utilisation of the project state for all machines in the session, only distributing video layer media to a machine in the session if the media is mapped to one or more outputs on the machine. e.g. Adding media to a video layer in itself will not make it a candidate media to be distributed to a machine unless the media has been mapped to an output on that machine in the Feed view.

Media Distribution applies to all media types in the d3 project objects folder.

Note that in r22.0, there is no option to use Media Distribution to delete unused media from the Director in case media is later required. We are interested in user feedback as to whether including the Director (or giving the option) would be a useful addition.

Listing missing media and initiating media syncing is also available in r22.0 via a REST HTTP API. Listing unused media and deleting unused media will be available via a REST HTTP API in a subsequent release.

To use the Media Distribution feature

1. On the Director machine, right-click on the d3 menu and select “Media Distribution…” to open the Media Distribution Widget.

2. Expand both collapsible widgets to see the details of what media files are missing and unused copies.

3. “Include Mobile Editors” is defaulted OFF as they may wish to manage their own files, but the option is available.

4. Either click on “Sync” or “Delete” next to each item to sync or delete individual files on the target machines, or alternatively click “Sync All” or “Delete All” to action all the items in the respective tables.
a. For copying large files, it will display the copy progress as a percentage.
b. At the end of a copy, it will display the task state as either “Success” or “Failed”. For delete, the item should just disappear from the table.

5. Click on “Clear Finished Tasks” above the sync table to remove syncs that completed successfully and reset the status on syncs that failed.

The Media Distribution feature has several planned improvements which are not included in r22.0 but planned for upcoming releases:
● Sync and delete tasks by Media Distribution can only be triggered by the Director. Enabling Media Distribution from Editors is planned.
● Password-protected sharing must be turned off for all machines in the network for remote copying and deleting to work. This is the default configuration for disguise servers but may need to be configured for Editors working on non-disguise PCs or laptops. The requirement for this configuration is planned to be removed.
● Syncing of proxies to be included in the distribution feature.
● Performance improvements including:
○ Distribution from one actor to another is routed via the director. This limitation will be removed.
○ Sync and delete is executed over d3net. In a subsequent release, it will be possible to execute media distribution over alternative network adapters.

RenderStream 1.30

RenderStream 1.30 brings us a host of new features including:

● DSOF-20552 RenderStream: backwards compatibility

We have included built-in backwards compatibility into RenderStream to enable third-party applications to still run effectively if the RenderStream API is updated.

● DSOF-20485 RenderStream: API to release image references

● DSOF-19997 Display UE engine version in the Asset

RenderStream assets now show which graphics engine is being used, in addition to the version of that particular graphics engine. On a RenderStream asset, this is now shown in the Engine Name and Engine version fields as seen in the image below.

● DSOF-18049 RenderStream: Vulkan API

We have enabled integration of the Vulkan API, which allows for easier integration of RenderStream into applications powered by Vulcan. This also means that applications built with Vulkan can now be used as both compressed and uncompressed RenderStream assets.

● DSOF-14835 RenderStream: custom asset description/readme

RenderStream assets now have an “Info” field which is filled in from data provided by the graphics engine that is being used.

● DSOF-16148 Fast Spatial Calibration

We have reduced spatial calibration time to less than half the amount taken in previous software releases. For studios with multiple cameras for example, this can result in a time saving of several hours. The Fast Spatial Calibration is enabled by default.

● DSOF-21620 Update missing media API for r22

In r21.4 we removed the missing media API, but this has now been replaced. API documentation can be found either via ‘Open API documentation’ under the ‘help’ section of d3manager, or by accessing http://localhost/docs/v1/index.html on a disguise media server.

● DSOF-21574 Education license should allow 4 VideoIn channels (not just 1)

In previous releases, the education license for Designer only allowed for 1 video capture channel. In r22 we have enabled 4, the same as currently found in standard Designer licenses.

● DSOF-21026 RenderStream: allow pinning of Receive Health widget

We have enabled the Receive Health widget to be pinned when using RenderStream, so that users can see the health status of all RenderStream during a show.

● DSOF-20740 Trigger UE events from d3

In r22 we have enabled support for Unreal Engine events to be triggered from within Designer using the ‘Custom Events’ tab when running RenderStream. This is populated when users add custom events on their level blueprint within Unreal Engine. Custom events can then be exposed as keyframable sequences that can be triggered from the timeline within Designer.

● DSOF-5762 Ability to add a global delay to Audio

We have added a ‘Delay’ field within the editor of each AudioOutPatch resource to support audio teams from having to add delay on their side and be able to accommodate for video latency within the production chain without having to add any further delay. The delay is set to 0 by default, and any delay specified is applied to all audio that is being output on the patch. The delay is applied across all machines within a d3Net session. This will not effect external audio engines like Web, Notch and RenderStream.

● DSOF-21331 Hide live action position marker in Camera when not using old virtual camera workflow

We have hidden the ‘live action position marker’ field in the camera behind the ‘enableLegacyVirtualCameraWorkflow’ option switch. The reason for this is that most of this work is completed within VirtualCameras.

● DSOF-21242 Skip drawing of Point Cloud grid on an Omnical project if max line length is 0

We have made an improvement to Omnical workflows in r22. In previous releases, the ‘Point Cloud max line length’ is only checked before drawing individual lines between point neighbours. This would mean that grid points would need to be drawn even if the threshold is set to 0. We have removed this step in r22, meaning that if the threshold is set to 0 then no lines need to be drawn between the grid points.

● DSOF-21208 Layers that do not exist on a track don't say so in their descriptions

In previous releases, the description of a layer tells users where it is on a timeline, but if it was not on a timeline then it’s either in the list of saved layers or in a layer stack. This could cause confusion to a user when attempting to remove missing media if it was in use in a layer that isn’t on their track, especially if a layer had been exported or removed from a track a long time ago.
In r22 we have added additional logging to a layer to highlight to users where it is located.

● DSOF-21178 Warn user when insufficient overscan used

When using overscan for lenses in a xR workflow, we have enabled a warning to users when the overscan is not sufficient by giving the overscan field a red background, and adding the minimum required overscan values into the overscan tooltip.
● DSOF-21073 Virtual camera: Use live action marker at (0, 0, 0) as default when none selected

In previous releases, when no live action position marker is selected within the Virtual Camera, a reprojection is completed at a constant distance of 3 metres. In r22 we have amended the default distance of a live action position market at (0, 0, 0).

● DSOF-21164 Manual Observations have uninitialised RMS Error field

We have adjusted the Manual Spatial Calibration observation so that its RMS Error field should report as 0.

● DSOF-21088 Make default videoclip input transform utility-sRGB in ACES

In ACES mode, we have enabled the default Input Transform value of every VideoClip resource as being set to ‘sRGB - ITU-R BT.709’

● DSOF-21041 HTTPcontrol module should support HTTP PATCH commands

In r22 we have enabled support for HTTP Patch within the HTTPcontrol module to support integration with partner APIs.

● DSOF-20938 Allow multi-layer editing of multiple group layers or group layers mixed with normal layers

We have enabled a multi-edit layer window, enabling users to select multiple group layers with any number of layers and multi-edit any of them. In previous releases, we only supported the ability to multi-edit a single group layer.
If a single group layer is selected, it will be titled as “Group <Name of Group> of N Layers”, but a multi-select of multiple groups will not include the group names.

● DSOF-20868 Replace reset keyframe icon with a dedicated icon

● DSOF-20807 Add the ability to filter RenderStream assets by source machine to the ResourceView
We have added check boxes in the ResourceView to make it easier to filter specific machine assets as part of the RenderStream workload.

● DSOF-20794 Separate set extension and LED backplates

In r22 we have made it possible in xR workflows to separate the rendering of the backplate into two separate plates - content that goes to the LED screens, and content that goes to the set extension. We have therefore implemented two new render layer options - ‘Back Plate Screens’, and ‘Back Plate Set Extension’.

● DSOF-20782 String Expressions - enable carriage returns

In r21.1 we added a text module which enables users to make a text layer. This can be used to add notes to an output for a rehearsal for example. Fonts can then be downloaded into objects/textfonts as a .ttf file.
Taking this further with Expressions, right-click on the property you want to control within the Text Module. In r22 we have enabled the ability to add a carriage return - used to reset to the beginning of a line of text - into the string. This can be completed by splitting the expression across multiple lines in the input by hitting the enter key as normal as seen below:

● DSOF-20731 Report and adjust RenderStream projects folder path inside d3

In previous releases, the only way to adjust the RenderStream Projects Folder - located in the RenderStreamMachine editor - was via manually editing the machine registry.
In r22, the RenderStream Projects folder is where the current folder path is reported, which is when it appears on the remote machine. When providing a new folder path, it should be the same path reported on the remote machine and should also be going to an existing folder.
In order to do this, d3service must be running on the remote machine with admin privileges, as would be the case when using vx machines alongside rx render nodes for example.
If d3 service is not running with admin privileges, everything will succeed except the creation of a network share for the folder. If this fails, users would need to ensure that d3service is running with admin privileges to complete the step again.
If the folder path provided does not exist on the remote machine, no change will occur.

● DSOF-20700 d3manager: ability to compare two project files

In d3manager, we have added the ability to compare two project files. This can be completed by going to Projects / right-click on project/Show History. Right-click on the history file and click on the ‘Compare to existing’’ option to open a new window to display the current project file alongside the selected history file.

● DSOF-20664 d3manager: rollback functionality

In d3manager, we have added the ability to rollback a project. This can be completed by going to Projects / right-click on project/Show History. Double-click on the history file to receive a confirmation of rollback dialogue. Right-click on the history file and click on the ‘Rollback’ option.
Rolling back a project will replace the current project file with the selected history file, which will be renamed to match the name of the current file. The ‘Date Modified’ will automatically update according to the selected history file. If an overwrite happens, users will see a backup name
<show>rollback<date> appear in the history folder.

In r22 we have enabled

● DSOF-20662 ObjectView: improve subfolder hierarchy UI

In previous releases, when in ObjectView users see a hierarchy of boxes and folders when there are objects in each subfolder. In r22 we have made it clearer that it’s a tree view as seen in the new view below:

● DSOF-20597 RenderStream: use the full asset path

In r22 we have enabled RenderStream assets to use the full asset path within its naming instead of the last directory to avoid assets being overwritten.

● DSOF-20540 VideoClip: ability to preview clip without a layer

Within the GUI, we have enabled users to preview a video without creating a layer in r22. In the VideoClip widget, click on ‘edit video clip / Preview’. The widget also has a ‘Frame’ field that can be used to jump between each frame of the content.

● DSOF-20514 d3manager: dark mode

Dark mode in d3manager is now enabled in r22. Users can change between dark and light modes when selected within the Windows Colours settings.

● DSOF-20482 Add workload-friendly name to RenderStream asset editor

We have added the workload name to the stream editor (located in the Stream widget when starting a RenderStream workload) so that it’s possible to see which stream is related to which workload. In previous releases there was no way of seeing this information.

● DSOF-20320 d3preview: standalone application for previewing files/videoclips

In r22 we have created a simple standalone application called d3preview. This enables users to check whether Designer will support playback of that content, without having to ingest it into a temporary project. This can be completed by right-clicking on any file that Designer supports / Open with / Choose another app /C:\Program Files\d3 Production Suite\build\msvc\d3preview.exe.
We have created a dedicated UI that includes the ability to play/pause/scrub the content via the mouse and spacebar, volume via the mouse wheel and the ability to change scaling/clipping. Users can also use multiple instances of d3preview.

● DSOF-20389 Installer: option to associate supported image/video extensions with d3preview

For d3preview, we have enabled users to preview files in a host of media file formats including
.d/.dpx/.exr/.mov/.tga/hap. To enable this feature, in the Installation Options of d3installer, we have included an option to ‘Associate media files with d3preview’.
When this is enabled, any file with an extension of .d/.dpx/.exr/.mov/.tga/hap will have an option to open with d3preview within its ‘Open with’ action menu.

● DSOF-19737 CDL API (LiveGrade integration)

We have enabled a REST HTTP API in order to receive CDLs into disguise. This is needed in order to integrate with Pomfort LiveGrade. API documentation can be found either via ‘Open API documentation’ under the ‘help’ section of d3manager, or by accessing http://localhost/docs/v1/index.html on a disguise media server.

● DSOF-18892 Upgrade Rivermax to 1.10.20

We have upgraded Rivermax to 1.10.20, which contains performance improvements and Windows GPUDirect support.

● DSOF-9876 Show project version in d3manager

In r22 in the Project view within d3manager we have included an additional column titled ‘d3 Version’ that displays the d3 version each project file was last modified in.

● DSOF-8922 Ability to specify number of proxy levels generated per file

In r22 we have enabled a ‘Settings’ feature within the Proxy Maker widget to enable users to dictate what proxies are needed and how many. We have enabled options to select each available proxy level, which are then generated at the specified levels. The ‘Rescan’ button is then used to rescan internal proxies and determine which need to be created based on the selection.

● DSOF-6784 Ability to reset limits/delete MetaField

In r22 we have included a ‘Reset’ button within each MetaField widget. This button becomes active if any of the fields within the widget are not equal to their default values. Clicking the button will then restore all fields within the widget to their default values. In previous releases, users would have to type in the expected or remembered values.

● DSOF-3941 Ability to reset keyframes to default values

In r22 we have enabled the ability to reset keyframes to default values. This can be used by clicking on the icon located to the right of all keyframable fields across all modules. The reset keyframe button is only active when the field value does not match its default value at the current playhead position.
Selecting the reset keyframe button should reset the field back to its default value at the current playhead position, and should not affect any keyframes not at the current playhead position.

● DSOF-995 WebModule: Control over audio

In r22 we have created an ‘Audio’ toggle located within the editor of each WebBookmark resource. The value of this field will be set to True by default, which means that any content presented by the WebBookmark resource that contains audio will be heard.

If the toggle is set to False by default, any content presented by the WebBookmark resource that contains audio will not be heard.

Please note:

The launch of r22 has also coincided with OS 200, both of which are major updates to disguise. The OS includes significant updates for a host of drivers to support the new features in r22, so if you currently own a disguise vx 1, vx 2, vx 4 or vx 4+, please make sure to download the latest OS upgrades for these machines from the Hardware section of our software download page to ensure their compatibility with r22 and future releases.

It is important to note that a project built in r22 will need to have the hardware specified for playback with an OS above 200. Once the hardware is updated to support OS 200 and above, there is no option to roll back to a previous OS version. Please follow this link for the advisory.
