Added: - Added missing Play after Write (PaW) button into Auto Edit mode. - Added two buttons to the audio peak-meter: hold / reset -- Hold: When pressed, the peakmeter always keeps the maximum value in the display until a larger value is metered otherwise the peakmeter behaves as it currently does. -- Reset: When pressing this button, the maximum value currently display will be reset. Improved: - FIMS: Improved response time for queryJob requests and capture/transform job requests. - General: Improved realtime-server offline detection for webservices - RealtimeServer: Extended error logging for throws | signals | exit() calls. Changes 3.2.1.24 ---------------- Fixed: - GUI: Fixed help text of dvslogwatch script.

Added: - Added logging of service tools/scripts to /var/log/messages under Linux. Improved: - logwatch now logs the first seconds right after program start too, instead of omitting them - Improved feedback for patched grub.conf. Changed: - ANC drop alerts: -- The ANC drop messages in the status bar have been removed -- In Record mode there will be an "ANC drops" message box after the record, before the "delete or keep" message box; the instant message box is disabled in record mode -- In Playout the current behaviour remained unchanged, only the text of the message box has been adjusted Changes 3.2.1.21 ---------------- Fixed: - Re-added dvslogwatch script to /etc/init.d. - Fixed problems with VDCP server when toggling VDCP on/off very often AND a not removable .lock file is present. Changes 3.2.1.20 ---------------- Fixed: - VENICE WSDD information is updated if connection to avus is lost - Fixed race condition on server startup / connection init - Fixed that some characters in the record destination file name cause "lost connection" to server - MOV: Fixed problem with Remaining Time Calculation on disk for YUV 10Bit and 8Bit QuickTime files. - MPEG: Fix problem with wrong computed aspect ratio for MPEG-2 files. - GUI: Fixed transform configuration. - GUI: Improved description of transform configuration. - GUI: Improved performance of peakmeter display on Mac OS X. - General: Fixed use of pwd command in avus and veniceserver start scripts. Added: - General: Added Spycer webservice log to logwatch (works with Spycer 3.2.1.1+) - VDCP ingest mode: command "20.26 - DeleteID" is rejected by returning the "NotSupported" port error status - VDCP mode: Files beginning with . (Linux hidden files) or ending with ~ (temporary files/backups) are ignored when scanning VDCP folder for clips - FIMS: frame replace now works more than once in a session - FIMS: frame replace errors now set a job to failed Changed: - If record destination or VDCP folder is a not mounted StorNext folder, neither will work - No longer install obsolete avus.ini in /opt/DVS/Venice/bin on Linux. - BREAKING CHANGE! FIMS: New jobs must have an undefined status or paused status or they are rejected -- This requires a new version of Spycer RecordScheduler (at least version 3.1.1.14) Changes 3.2.1.19 ---------------- Fixed: - Installer: Fixed temperature problem due to enhanced performance change introduced in VENICE 3.2.1.17. This could lead to activate the red front LED because the temperature is about 3°C above the defined limit. Changes 3.2.1.18 ---------------- Fixed: - GUI: fixed possible hang during scenario load. Changes 3.2.1.17 ---------------- Added: - VENICE GUI: If drops occurred during record, a message box is shown right before the "keep or delete" message box. Changed: - dvscontrolpanel: -- Do not write empty config if no license is found. -- Added program exit code for shell commands. - Lots of small improvements to VENICE Play. - MOS mode: -- Better handling of placeholder/not existing clips. -- More and better error messages. -- Fixed some possible inconsistencies between server and avus. Changes 3.2.1.16 ---------------- Fixed: - Fixed Linux installer scripts to ensure correct start-up order. - Fixed veniceserver log flooding. - Fixed typo in help message of dvsnetconfig. - Fixed pop-up box every 3 seconds when destination drive in capture or transform mode is close to capacity. - MXF: Fixed read issue on OP1a MPEG2 files, which has no system items. - MXF: Fixed playout drops on long (about one hour or longer) XDCamHD files with index-only partitions. Added: - General: added tool dvsnetconfig to all installers. - General: check status of Venice / software network configuration via commandline ./dvsnetconfig --status - General: Using common Network.conf file for IP / network interface configuration in Venice / veniceserver / Control - General: automatic migration to common Network.conf during installation / update - Patch grub.conf to enhance overall performance. Changed: - GUI: A running display is stopped when scrubbing is used from the GUI. - Avid Workflow: Added several checks to forbid Ingests which do not fulfill all Avid specific requirements. Due to using the Spycer backend for most of these checks they will only apply after updating Spycer on the VeniceAppliance, Venice server and Client. This will enforce that essence and metadata is always separated for Venice Ingests. Old behaviour was a fallback to write AAF, XML and essence files into the chosen destination directory. Please ensure to update the AvusAvatar installation of the Avid Appliance. - Avid: we now always give a tapename for essence creation in DVS product. In Venice this is set to the first 31 letters of the clipname unless a tapename is set. Due to technical reasons only 9 letters will be used for the creation of MXF opAtom files. - FIMS: "manageQueue" request with command "start" or "status" - changed error messages to better reflect current state of device (avus) and added error details. - FIMS: "queryJob" request - now returning errors when device is not working properly. - GXF, MXF: avus.ini switch 'use_source_switching_line' works now also for MXF and - VDCP delete command will not delete essence files if vamc name does not match the essence name. The vamc is still deleted. Changes 3.2.1.15 ---------------- Fixed: - Realtime-server: Removed potential log-spamming. Changes 3.2.1.14 ---------------- Fixed: - Fixed VDCP settings not disabled correctly when reopening dialog. - Veniceserver: Fixed log flooding in VDCP mode with “NexusClient::GetVDCPFileStats()” messages. Changed: - VDCP: An ingest clip prepared by RecordInit/RecordInitWithData shows up in the VDCP-cliplists not before RECORD is sent. Changes 3.2.1.12 ---------------- Fixed: - VDCP record mode: The VAMC may be not updated one last time after the essence file has been finalized. - VDCP record mode: In some cases the currently recorded file was deleted during record. - VDCP record mode: For some file formats opening the file to get the current length can take very long. This causes the file events to pile up and after the essence file is finalized, those piled up file events are processed redundantly for some time. - MXF: Fixed MPEG2 Long GOP decoding error with Roll-Out. - VDCP: VDCP setting "Show first cued frame" was always on after loading a project. - VDCP: Fixed VDCP handling of unicode file names. - MXF: Fixed asynchronous audio for MXF OP1a XDCAM 50 422. - Fileformats: Fixed crash when certain audio clips referenced in certain metaclip files could not be opened in shadow mode. - Fileformats: Fixed issue with certain metaclips containing chained essence clips with incomplete clip options. - Fixed rare server process crash which resulted in channel disconnects. Added: - Added VENICE View 1.2 support. - VDCP: added UI switch for changing timecode config (Configuration / VDCP / Timecode settings). - VDCP: Config option "Support for clip duration estimation" for all growing MXF OP1a files. -- GUI: added check with nexus that extended vdcp params (nodurationestimation) is possible. --- On fail, VDCP is not possible; user gets error and VDCP config tab is opened. --- ATTENTION: _Rare_ race condition can cause VDCP clip watcher to fail to start, but it is not possible to show that in the GUI. ---- VDCP record would be not affected. ---- VDCP playout is not possible, as the clip list remains empty. ---- Workaround: disable and enable slave mode, which should then either show an error or work properly. Changed: - VDCP: Limit VDCP root folder to 10000 files and show the limit in GUI and via ChannelState (for VENICE View). - VDCP: Default setting for "Support for clip duration estimation" is changed to "off". - VDCP: Enabled full clip list in record mode. Improved: - New file collision detection for ingest and transform. - Transform mode: The destination clip meta data is not reset when any setting is changed. Instead a new button "Reload from Source" has been added to the meta data dialog. - Ingest mode: The destination clip meta data is not reset when any setting is changed. - FIMS: Apply fims_defaults.vprst when starting FIMS mode, not when preparing the first job. - MXF: Improved free space duration display. Changes 3.2.1.11 ---------------- Fixed: - Fixed potential UI crash. Changes 3.2.1.10 ---------------- Fixed: - Fixed MOS 2.8. Changes 3.2.1.9 --------------- Fixed: - MOV: Fixed multi destination with XDCamHD in QuickTime does not work. - FIMS: Fixed that when sending a job as "paused", any drops that occurred before the job was started, where still added to that job. Added: - FIMS: Added support for DNxHD segmentedFrame capture jobs. Changed: - Avid: MXF files for Avid workflow now use first 8 letters from destination clipname for naming as default. Setting tapename in Metadata tab still overrules this (no MXF files beginning with Unnamed on ISIS anymore). Improved: - AudioRouting: Improved handling of audio routing in record mode. If stored audio routing clashes with audio routing restrictions of the chosen file format, fall back to default routing of the chosen file format and inform the user.

Changes 3.2.1.7 --------------- Fixed: - Fixed rare audio resync issue during high server load - FIMS: Fixed crash when starting/stopping FIMS queue frequently - FIMS: Fixed issue regarding job status at the end of jobs - FIMS: General stability improvements Added: - Added auto cleanup for FIMS job queue - Fileformats: Added quality setting to the file format "MPEG-2 video -> MXF" so that video quality can be adjusted from outside, e.g. through GUI. Changes 3.2.1.6 --------------- Added: - Added configuration option to force a new clip name after single clip ingest and transform. Improved: - VENICE GUI does not accept unsupported ingest settings with both clip chunking and proxy generation active - VENICE GUI: Metadata config tab now contains an explanation instead of being empty Changes 3.2.1.5 --------------- Fixed: - ClipChunking settings had no effect for a record, if clip chunking was setup after all other settings (destination etc.). - FIMS: Changes to the audio channel count were sometimes ignored. - DVSWS: Added queryFreeDiskSpace request, to get free, used and available disk space in bytes. - FIMS Transform: Added support for sourceAtom (Timecode settings only). - FIMS: If no audio format is specified, no audio will be recorded; if the destination format requires audio, the job will fail. - Added new presets for capture and transform destination settings. These presets are part of the project. - Added new AudioRouting presets for capture, playout and transform. These presets are part of the project. - MOV: Added multi-destination support for QuickTime. Changed: - MOS: Changed behaviour of roCtrl PLAY/EXECUTE/SHUTTLE command: when at the end of a playing block automatic wrap-around is now disabled. - AudioRouting configuration: Reset to default now mutes all excess output channels. Improved: -MXF: Improved general MXF essence multiplexing. Changes 3.2.1.4 --------------- Fixed: - Fixed reporting of channel state (caused wrong display in VeniceView). Changed: - MXF (OP1a): Timecode gaps are not written in footer partition by default. This can be modified in avus.ini (ignoretcgap option). Improved: - Improved how aspect ratio is saved in project settings. Previous version could produce aspect ratios close to the real aspect ratio (1.78 instead of 16/9=1,777...). That could have caused a slight scaling applied in some cases. Changes 3.2.1.3 --------------- Fixed: - Fixed wrong scaling when switching from playout mode to transform mode with different raster. - Fixed 'dvslogwatch collect' on RHEL 5. Added: - MOV: Added read support for QuickTime Movies containing self-contained url data references.

Added: - MXF: Added reading support of ANC data from MPEG stream. - Network: Unified configuration for VENICE, VENICE Play and Spycer. - GUI: Added a dialog to ask the user to reset transcode list clip speeds to 100% before - MOV: Added support for alternate interpretation of proprietary 'ACLR' image description extension as YUV Range (set aclr_interpretation=2 in avus.ini to enable). Changed: - FIMS: Omitted values are set to defaults for every new job. A query will always report all used values (including the unspecified ones). - FIMS: Improved error messages for wrong values and technical attributes. Improved: - VDCP: Improved VDCP cue-up. - MXF: Improved duration calculation for growing files (MXF OP1a). Changes 3.2.0.35 ---------------- Fixed: - Minor fixes Changes 3.2.0.33 ---------------- Fixed: - Fixed invalid XML in MOS: dvs:roReadyToAir had two : instead of one. - Fileformats, XDCamEX: Fixed the issue, that encoded material does not have fixed GOP size. - GUI: Fixed a problem where playout did not stop after loading new clip.

Changed: - VDCP: if a vamc is deleted externally (that is not by VDCP command), then the essence file is deleted too. Exception: if more than one file could be mapped to the vamc, then no file is deleted Improved: - LXF: General reader improvements. - VDCP: Using lock files to prevent multiple writes of vamc files Changes 3.2.0.27 ---------------- Fixed: - Minor fixes regarding FIMS Changes 3.2.0.26 ---------------- Fixed: - Minor fixes Added: - MXF: Added growing MXF (MPEG2 Intra 100mbps) files duration estimating. - LXF: Added growing LXF files duration estimating.
