⚠️ 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.

What's New in r30

r30.0.2 - Hotfixes

Build 202184 (Released November 20th)

  • DSOF-28555 - When not genlocked, setting the project to 59.94 FPS and applying feeds will no longer actually output at 60 FPS.
  • DSOF-28724 & DSOF-28741 - Improved some internal logging.
  • DSOF-28726 & DSOF-28731 - Various internal improvements to test systems.
  • DSOF-28751 - Changing Load Weight for a Workload assigner now correctly updates Pool usage and Bandwidth estimates.
  • DSOF-28757 - Double-clicking on a project folder in d3 Manager will no longer allow you to rename the project.

r30.0.1 - Hotfixes

Build 201424 (Released November 13th)

  • DSOF-28160 - Actors will no longer sometimes fail to receive correct timings from understudies of Directors after failover.
  • DSOF-28576 - RenderStream engines rendering with Vulkan (including TouchDesigner) no longer crash when launched with a Mesh Mapping.
  • DSOF-28636 - Controlling a field of an open layer via Sockpuppet when in a session of machines will now properly update projector blending if the field you are controlling impacts projector blending.

r30.0 - Solo Support Deprecation

Build: 200921 (Released November 6th)

Changes

  • DSOF-28407 Move solo to a long-term Designer software version release
    • Users will be unable to run and install any 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 duration of 1 year. We have released final video playback performance metrics for the Solo that are measured in r29. We have put together an overview of the product lifecycle which explains each of the phases in more detail. This can be seen here.

Improvements

  • DSOF-26046 - API: Include Setlist in Active Transport endpoint.
    • We have included both the name and the UID of the setlist within the Active Transport API endpoint. This is described in detail in our developer documentation here.
  • DSOF-28313 - Remove OCIO shader properties from layers that don’t require them. These layers are:
    • RGB Colour
    • Tracking Marker
    • LUT
  • DSOF-28324 - The Video Version selector is now better formatted and easier to use. Versions will now be presented with friendly colours and you can shift-click to enable and disable all the fragments within a particular version at once.
  • DSOF-28401 - You can now disable notifications about unsupported audio codecs embedded in videos by setting the option switch: disableUnsupportedEmbeddedAudioNotification

Fixes

  • DSOF-22931 - Setting a CDL parameter via the API will now properly clamp the value on input to the min/max of the field in the GUI (you can still change the min/max in the GUI to change the clamping behaviour)
  • DSOF-24076 - “ALT+G” GUI hidden splash screen text is no longer repeated and is now simpler
  • DSOF-24154 - Playing in Loop XFade mode with a fade duration of 0 will now correctly loop with 0 fade instead of playing right through the section break.
  • DSOF-25883 - QSDI VFC cards can now output 1080i at 50, 59.94 & 60 fps with the correct VPID so they are now correctly consumable by downstream devices.
  • DSOF-26351 - The detectsystems API endpoint now always correctly returns the d3net adapters IP address.
  • DSOF-27985 - Exporting frame as screenshot from an LED screen now works correctly when the enableSLC option switch is set.
  • DSOF-28084 - Deleting the time string from a TC tag will no longer generate a notification.
  • DSOF-28250 - In ACES mode, rendering 2 layers on the timeline targeting the same surface where one has content in ACEScg and another in ACEScct will not longer result in black sparkles on output.
  • DSOF-28358 - Omitting the easing value from an HTTPSockpuppet API command will now default to easing linearly rather than returning an error.
  • DSOF-28386 - Changing the GUI Mode for a machine via the API now works correctly and behaves the same way setting it in the GUI does.
  • DSOF-28395 - Notch layers patched to HTTP sockpuppet will no longer display a spurious notification.
  • DSOF-28402 - status/session API no longer returns an error when a machine in session is offline
  • DSOF-28440 - HTTPSockpuppet patches no longer expose some fields which are not visible in the GUI.
  • DSOF-28433 - Changing the refresh rate of d3 will no longer cause MTC transports to think that timecode has been dropped.
  • DSOF-28484 - Texture streams over RenderStream is now correctly sent from the controller machine instead of always from the Director media server.
  • DSOF-28602 - Changing the type of a surface, LED screen or DMX screen will no longer report an error and fail to change the surface type.
  • DSOF-28638 - Using Porta to delete video clips in Designer will now happen much faster.
  • DSOF-28643 - Holding tab and Shift+Tab while moving the mouse now correctly pan and rotated the visualiser camera again.
