New Integrations

Blackmagic Design ATEM Series

• Added Tally reading and Source label setting for Blackmagic Design^® ATEM^™ production switchers.

For more information, see: Blackmagic Design ATEM Series.

Added

Dynamic Port Containers

• Introduced Dynamic Port Containers. Changes to a dynamic Port Container are reflected in routing throughout the system, so the contents of a Source Port Container can be replaced in one place.

For more information, see: Port Containers.

Routing Between Ports and Port Containers

• Added routing of regular Source Ports onto Port Containers and Port Containers onto regular Ports. A Destination routed from a Port Container shows the Port Container as its Source.

For more information, see: Port Containers.

Parameters on Port Containers

• Added assigning Parameters to Port Containers instead of regular Ports.

For more information, see: Parameter Control.

Port Container Inspection

• Added an inspection tool on the Control Panel that shows the current routing status of a Port Container and all of its contents.

For more information, see: Inspect Signal Path.

Monitoring and Mixer Labels

• Added a monitoring label and a mixer label. The monitoring label feeds multiviewers and UMDs and inherits the Port name. The mixer label feeds vision mixers and inherits the existing short label, which was renamed to panel label. Inheritance keeps system behavior unchanged after the upgrade.

For more information, see: Tally and Labels.

Multiple Actions and Triggers in Rules

• Added multiple actions and multiple triggers in one Rule. Actions run in parallel when the trigger fires, and triggers are combined in a Logic Editor.

For more information, see: Rules.

Enable or Disable a Rule Action

• Added a Rule action that enables or disables a Rule or Rule group, for example to create shortcut buttons on panels.

For more information, see: Rules.

Toggle Joystick Override Mode

• Added the toggle mode for Joystick Override. Pushing the joystick switches the assigned Source to the Destination, and pushing it again switches back to the previous Source.

For more information, see: Joystick Override.

Dante Port Containers

• Added routing of Dante audio Ports using Port Containers.

For more information, see: Port Containers.

Audio Gain Value Mapping

• Added the Audio Gain mapping mode for numeric Parameters, designed for audio gain and loudspeaker volume controlled from a rotary encoder or knob.

For more information, see: Parameter Control.

Periodic TSL Messages

• Added periodic re-sending of TSL messages for devices that expect a regular stream, such as the Sony HDCU-5500.

Changed

Renaming and Tagging Ports

• Changed the Node Port view into separate views for renaming and tagging, with inline editing of labels.

For more information, see: Tags.
