4.4 Layer DMX Changes

4.4 Layer changes.

This is a list of changes that were made to 4.4 layer personalities compared to 4.3 layer.

Updated DMX Charts are here.

Geometry/Aspect Mode

• Mapping has changed to the standard Step25.

Source/Sourcetype

• Mapping has changed to the standard Step25.

LiveMask/MaskLevel

• Added. Float with centre.

Relay Select

• The relay select pin has been split to two different pins: Relayselect/mix and Relayselect/layer
• Relay Select mix selects mix (1-127) or Viewport (1-128)
• Relay Select Layer selects layer 1 – 16, visible or hidden.
• If relay select layer is set to 0 (Master) the mix or viewport set in relayselect/mix will be used.

Source/MediaPlayer/Inpoint

• Has changed from a 16bit control (2 Channel) to a 24bit control (3 Channels)
• Each step is now 1 Frame, before each step was 1 frame at 25FPS (40ms) 1 frame is now in context of the current clip frame-rate
• If the lighting desk does not support 24bit controls, use 2 channels for a maximum inpoint of 65535 frames. (36 Minutes at 30FPS)

Add the source/mediaplayer/inlooppoint

• use the same logic and mapping as the inpoint

Source/MediaPlayer/Outpoint

• Has changed from a 16bit control (2 Channel) to a 24bit control (3 Channels)
• Each step is now 1 Frame, before each step was 1 frame at 25FPS (40ms) 1 frame is now in context of the current clip frame-rate
• If the lighting desk does not support 24bit controls, use 2 channels for a maximum outpoint of 65535 frames. (36 Minutes at 30FPS)
• Setting the value to 0 will set the outpoint to the end of the clip therefore the default of this pin should be zero*

Add the source/mediaplayer/outlooppoint

• use the same logic as the outpoint

Audio controls on the media player have been moved pin path:

• Source/MediaPlayer/Volume is now Source/MediaPlayer/Audio/Volume
• Source/MediaPlayer/Audiobalance is now Source/MediaPlayer/Audio/Audiobalance
• Source/MediaPlayer/Synclevels is now Source/MediaPlayer/Audio/Synclevels

Sync controls have moved to a group, changing the pin path:

• Source/MediaPlayer/Timecode/Offset/Hours is now Source/MediaPlayer/sync/Timecode/Offset/Hours
• Source/MediaPlayer/Timecode/Offset/Minutes is now Source/MediaPlayer/sync/Timecode/Offset/Minutes
• Source/MediaPlayer/Timecode/Offset/Seconds is now Source/MediaPlayer/sync/Timecode/Offset/Seconds
• Source/MediaPlayer/Timecode/Offset/Frames is now Source/MediaPlayer/sync/Timecode/Offset/Frames
• Source/MediaPlayer/Timecode/Offset/FlywheelEnabled is now Source/MediaPlayer/sync/Timecode/Offset/FlywheelEnabled

Controls for X-Fade on layer and Videomapper on layer have been added.

NDI Capture has been changed to Refresh List

• NDI Select is based solely on the selected NDI source. Refresh list rebuilds the detected sources list.

Bank and Clip media offset has been updated to go negative

• The 16bit channel of Media and Clip offset has been centred at 50. Allowing an offset of +/- 127 Banks.
