1 CasparCG 2.0.3 (w.r.t 2.0 Stable)
\r
2 =================================
\r
7 o Data files are now stored in UTF-8 with BOM. Latin1 files are still
\r
8 supported for backwards compatibility
\r
9 o Commands written in UTF-8 to log file but only ascii characters to console.
\r
10 o Added supported video formats:
\r
11 + 720p2398 (not supported by decklink)
\r
12 + 720p2400 (not supported by decklink)
\r
15 + 720p30 (not supported by decklink)
\r
16 + 720p29.976 (not supported by decklink)
\r
21 o CLK protocol implementation can now serve more than one connection at a time
\r
23 o Added timeline support to the CLK protocol.
\r
24 o Refactored parts of the CLK parser implementation.
\r
29 o Consumers on same channel now invoked asynchronously to allow for proper
\r
30 sync of multiple consumers.
\r
31 o System audio consumer:
\r
32 + no longer provides sync to caspar.
\r
34 + Support for multiple screen consumers on the same channel
\r
35 + No longer spin-waits for vsync
\r
36 + Now deinterlaces to two separate frames so for example 50i will no longer
\r
37 be converted to 25p but instead to 50p for smooth playback of interlaced
\r
43 o Image scroll producer:
\r
44 + Field-rate motion instead of frame-rate motion with interlaced video
\r
45 formats. This can be overridden by giving the PROGRESSIVE parameter.
\r
46 + SPEED parameter now defines pixels per frame/field instead of half pixels
\r
47 per frame. The scrolling direction is also reversed so SPEED 0.5 is the
\r
48 previous equivalent of SPEED -1. Movements are done with subpixel accuracy
\r
49 + Fixed incorrect starting position of image.
\r
50 + Rounding error fixes to allow for more exact scrolling.
\r
51 + Added support for motion blur via a new BLUR parameter
\r
52 + Added PREMULTIPLY parameter to support images stored with straight alpha.
\r
54 CasparCG 2.0 Stable (w.r.t Beta 3)
\r
55 ==================================
\r
60 o Misc stability and performance fixes.

\r
69 + Added vsync support.
\r
71 CasparCG 2.0 Beta 3 (w.r.t Beta 1)
\r
72 ==================================
\r
78 + Both encoding and decoding.
\r
80 + Updated audio-pipeline for native NTSC support. Previous implementation
\r
81 did not fully support NTSC audio and could cause incorrect behaviour or
\r
87 o File Consumer added
\r
88 + See updated wiki or ask in forum for more information.
\r
89 + Should support anything ffmpeg supports. However, we will work mainly with
\r
90 DNXHD, PRORES and H264.
\r
91 - Key-only is not supported.
\r
93 + 24 bit audio support.
\r
94 - Embedded-audio does not work with Epoch cards.

102 + Automatically deinterlace interlaced input.
\r
107 o Decklink Producer
\r
108 + Improved color quality be avoiding uneccessary conversion to BGRA.
\r
110 + Fixed missing alpha for (RGB)A formats when deinterlacing.
\r
111 + Updated buffering to work better with files with long audio/video
\r
113 + Seekable while running and after reaching EOF. CALL 1-1 SEEK 200.

\r
124 + Release flash-player when empty.
\r
125 + Use native resolution template-host.
\r
126 + Template-hosts are now choosen automatically if not configured. The
\r
127 template-host with the corresponding video-mode name is now chosen.
\r
128 + Use square pixel dimensions.
\r
133 o When possible, commands will no longer wait for rendering pipeline. This
\r
134 reduces command execution latencies, especially when sending a lot of
\r
135 commands in a short timespan.
\r
136 o Fixed CINF command.
\r
137 o ADD/REMOVE no longer require subindex,
\r
138 e.g. "ADD 1 SCREEN" / "REMOVE 1 SCREEN" instead of "ADD 1-1 SCREEN" / ...

\r
145 + INFO 1-1 F (foreground producer info).
\r
146 + INFO 1-1 B (background producer info).
\r
147 + INFO TEMPLATE mytemplate (template meta-data info, e.g. field names).
\r
148 o CG INFO command has been extended.
\r

\r
154 o Fixed alpha with blend modes.
\r
155 o Automatically deinterlace for MIXER FILL commands.
\r
160 o SET MODE now reverts back to old video-mode on failure.
\r
165 o Improved graphs and added more status information.
