A new toggle allows users to display or hide Transformation Priors in a 3D scene, and controls have been added for independent manipulation. Recent improvements ensure decorative objects appear black in texture rendering mode, while semi-transparent objects no longer show white in wireframe mode. We have resolved issues with 3D geometric models not appearing post-restart and enhancements in manual calibration visibility. Particle system primitive now fully supports Graph V2 rendering. Additionally, Depth Sensor primitives now feature visualization in the form of a pyramid for better orientation clarity. The LED Mapper has implemented locked DMX addresses and editing icons for streamlined editing and configuration. We have also addressed loading issues with certain DXF files from Leica. These updates are designed to provide a smoother, more efficient workflow for all users.

SLAC & RT Calib

We are thrilled to introduce exciting updates to our Real-Time Calibration and SLAC systems that enhance workflow efficiency and performance. A new step for RT Calibration has been integrated into the SLAC workflow.

Additionally, users can quickly enable or disable RT Calib during device pairing. With significantly faster reconstruction speeds, these updates are designed to help optimize your calibration and video projection projects.

You can now fully simulate and test the calibration before being on location. The SLAC workflow Simulation Mode treats Null Trackers as decoded Copernics, improving the visualization of visible trackers. It includes a calibration ground volume simulation with RT Calib and Albion Tracking. The Camera Prior reflects the physical camera, helping users more easily identify calibration errors by measuring distances in a 3D scene.

Timeline

The Timeline feature in version 11.5 introduces significant enhancements aimed at improving user efficiency and control during media production. One of the notable upgrades is the ability to create clips across multiple screens while automatically assigning media and allowing for the multiselection of specific properties. Additionally, the new DMX controls and the introduction of Timeline Markers, which can be utilized for show control and navigation, further streamline the workflow. These improvements not only facilitate better project organization but also enhance the overall user experience in managing a complex timeline.

Collectively, these updates are designed to streamline creative processes and provide a more intuitive interface for media professionals.

V11.3 Is Out

The latest 11.3 update brings an exciting array of enhancements, especially to boost collaborative work.

With the new Multi-user Timeline, real-time collaboration for editing and effects becomes seamless and efficient. Preview Programming Playhead Mode introduces time-detachable playhead, providing a smoother and more flexible editing experience.

The inclusion of looping tools and a redesigned region tab makes show programming much more flexible. On the other hand, the new Calibration Tab, enhanced LED mapping tools, and LED DMX Mapping for 3D Scene offer advanced capabilities.

SLAC’s new workflow for camera and projector alignment ensures enhanced calibration accuracy even in the most difficult conditions such as worklight or even daylight. The addition of Graph V2 allows for advanced nodal programming.

This update amplifies creative possibilities and fosters enhanced collaboration, efficiency, and flexibility.

V11.3 Release Notes

What's new in V11.3?

Introducing Graph V2

We have completely redesigned the graph from the ground up, with logic and graphic nodal programming in mind, while retaining all the capabilities of Graph V1. V2 opens up many new possibilities in terms of gamification and complex logic creation for your shows and events.

Furthermore, you can now nest graphs into other ones, allowing abstraction of complex logic into reusable and versatile nodes. This will help you solve intricate challenges with more ease.

The Timeline is now fully Multi-user!

When editing and creating media and effects on the timeline, this collaborative environment enables multiple users to work together on a project timeline. The system allows real-time collaboration, efficient task management, and seamless integration of various elements into the final visual production.

Real-Time Collaboration

Several users can work simultaneously on different aspects of the project, such as editing sequences, applying effects, adjusting animations, grading, and more. Changes made by one user are immediately visible to others, ensuring synchronization and reducing the chances of conflicts.

Speeding up the process

In large productions, Photon is capable of handling a massive amount of media and numerous requests from the creative team. Having multiple users who can interact with different parts of the timeline greatly increases the speed of creation.

S.L.A.C – Automatic Calibration – Freeing up time for more creative pursuits

Thanks to years of research and first-hand experience in large-scale productions, our automatic calibration workflow now sets the standard for robust and accurate calibration in light-polluted projection mapping scenarios. We can calibrate projections during lighting focuses, in outdoor venues during sunset, or right before the show! You’ll leave other show disciplines wondering how you were calibrating, given that our calibration can run unnoticed due to our latest innovations with the nVZSlac workflow. Have more time for creative explorations or be able to get more sleep!

Our new design tools allow for pre-production calibration studies to validate that your show will look great. Tools in the software let you check each camera and/or projector position, and lensing will deliver excellent calibration results. We know time on-site is limited, and changing equipment positions can be challenging. With our calibration study tools, you can walk in knowing you have a solid plan ahead of time that will work.

Led Mapper Redesign and DMX Mapping

New LED tools

We’ve completely redesigned the LED mapping tools. Both views are now visible at the same time, and quadding and manipulations have been greatly improved!

Media – With delivering outstanding quality, comes outstanding power

As screens improve with resolution and color spaces, we think a media playback solution should, too. That’s why we have developed our servers with the ability to play back content streams at 20 gigabytes per second. You read that right. 20-Gigabytes-per-second. That means you could simultaneously playback thirty-six layers of 4K 30Hz YUV 4:2:0, 8-bit-per-pixel video files or six layers of 4K 60Hz RGB 4:4:4 HDR, 16-bit-per-pixel video files from a single server. PHOTON and XENON can playback content so smoothly that you wouldn’t even feel like you are looking at a screen. As PHOTON and XENON are scalable systems, we can provide enough playback streams to blur the lines between the digital and real world.

We worked with industry leaders in HDR content production to optimize our rendering pipeline to keep end-to-end quality with professional color grading tools, a real-time effects engine, 8K video input card support, faster file transfer speeds, and LED file cropping at conversion for even greater effective resolutions. Our AI-powered content up-scaler enhances low-resolution content to create a brilliant image for these demanding screens.

Interactivity – Capturing motion with or without trackers

VYV’s cutting-edge tracking technology, revolutionizes interactive spaces with network-based LiDAR, enabling immersive environments without IR trackers. PHOTON’s Voxeliser tool can analyze and reconstruct spaces in 3D, making any surface interactive. It supports body projection mapping and interactive games through a nodal programming environment, offering a vast array of effects nodes for creativity. Features include image processing, 3D particle rendering, relighting, AI-powered background removal, and logical/mathematical tools for building engaging experiences.

User interface – Being in command never looked so good

With a new user interface that has been tuned for multiple displays and more pixel space, getting to the tools you need have never been easier. Several new tool sets for workflow optimizaitons are available in contextual menus or even a keystroke. As system performance monitoring is crucial for advanced show, a new profiler for the effects graph module helps you find where optimizaitons can be made.

Being flexible for the ways a show can be controlled, whether that is timecode, MIDI, OSC, manual cues, TCP/IP triggers, or a lighting desk, VYV has you covered. With advances in our our DMX profile and patch system, you can give complete show control of media and effects to a lighting console.

Discover new workflows and modules with our integrated workflow documentation and “What’s New” learning modules to quickly get to creating with the latest VYV has to offer.
