Propect/NEO/Aspect new releases

[David Newman]

Version 3.3. has been in the works for a long time and is now available for general release. If you download the beta, get the release version as there where several bug fixes.

Changes:

For Prospect 2K & 4K and NEO 4K only
• SetActiveMetadata utility replaces the old RAW control scripts for disabling the 3D LUTs.
• CineForm RAW now has a separate color database (2K and 4K only,) controlled using SetActiveMetadata. There color databases are enter-changeable to allow multiple color profiles between projects. They may also be export and moved between PCs (and soon Macs.) More info on tech note : http://www.cineform.com/products/Tec...tadata-Win.htm
• The File Metadata RAW controls now support Pick White style white balancing.
• Look compiler, 3D LUT exporter under export Movie (32-bit filters stacks only.)

For Prospect HD/2K/HD
• Support for 444 exports in BGRA 32-bit float, for SA Color Finesse compatibility under Premiere. Upgraded Dissolve, and flips to use RGB 32-bit float for Color Finesse.
• Add a preview indicator for 32-bit float, vs 16-bit or 16-bit filter stacks.
• Fixed non-square pixel exports from Prospect HD/2K/4K.

For Aspect HD & Prospect HD/2K/HD
• Added a switch in the AVI/MOV export movie other to enable threading. Due to Premiere’s low memory issues, this disabled by default, but should accelerate HD exports for simple projects.
• Scrubbing should be a little faster
• Fixed 601 vs 709 color space issues on some renders.

For everything
• CFRepair utility now shipped as standard. Primary for repairing files used in live capture, and a power outage or crash left an incomplete AVI.
• HDLink has improved support for AVCHD support, looking for common third party components like the Haali Media Splitter and the CoreAVC decoder, fixing issue where there where too many AVCHD components installed. More information here : http://www.cineform.com/products/Tec...Conversion.htm
• Improved threading performanceof deinterlacing and scaling when capturing live from HDSDI/HDMI.
• Many internal upgrades.
