Designer r34.0 brings a set of colour, lighting and workflow improvements including HDR / non-sRGB GUI support in OCIO colour-managed mode, custom DMX fixture types with new 16-bit monochrome channels, Anchor Layers, and faster remote diagnostics collection along with sequencing and RenderStream stability fixes.

Improvements

Section titled “Improvements”
  • DSOF-27510 - Added support for viewing the GUI on non-sRGB / HDR monitors when working in OCIO colour-managed mode.
  • DSOF-7641 - DMX Screens now support custom fixture types built from any combination of supported channels, so you can match arbitrary fixture personalities.
  • DSOF-32343 - Added 16-bit monochrome (maximum and weighted-sum) channel types for DMX Screens, so all channel types now support both 8- and 16-bit output.
  • DSOF-32714 - Added Anchor Layers: lock a layer’s position on the timeline so it can’t be dragged, while still allowing its parameters to be edited.
  • DSOF-28790 - When you insert time before the playhead, the playhead now moves with it so the output stays on the same content.
  • DSOF-33087 - Expressions now support string comparison equality and inequality (==, !=) as well as lexicographic ordering (<, >, <=, >=).
  • DSOF-32846 - Create System Diagnostics on remote machines can now download each machine’s diagnostic zip straight to a folder you choose, instead of collecting them by hand.
  • DSOF-32738 - Added MSAA anti-aliasing options to the 2.5D and Stage Render modules.
  • DSOF-30790 - Reduced RenderStream Layer (RSL) latency when texture parameters are in use.
  • DSOF-33168 - Genlock gain/loss on NVIDIA GPUs (GX 3 and GX 3+) is now detected automatically and reflected in Designer without a manual refresh.
  • DSOF-20229 - Timeline Transport Speed Control (Prerelease) change a track’s playback speed via the Transport Manager, MIDI/OSC/DMX event transports, and the /transport/speed API. Enable it by turning on the enableTransportSpeedControl option in the d3Manager Preview tab (requires a restart).

Fixes

Section titled “Fixes”
  • DSOF-33095 - Designer will no longer report a cascade of errors when rendering the Layer Stack GUI (for example, the 2.5D plate editor).
  • DSOF-31154 - Luma matte blend modes will no longer affect the entire layer stack above them.
  • DSOF-31741 - Designer will no longer report an error during resource transport.
  • DSOF-32969 - Designer will no longer report an error during sequence evaluation.
  • DSOF-32705 - RenderStream Layer (RSL) streams will no longer jitter when multiple streams are running.
  • DSOF-32532 - The HDMI RGB Full/Limited override is now available as a Video Input Patch Editor setting rather than a hidden option switch.
  • DSOF-32674 - Saving a layer to the library will no longer flood the console with “Failed to get bandwidth estimation” warnings.
  • DSOF-32868 - Bandwidth estimation for arrow texture parameters will now work when the playhead is outside the layer’s range.
