R5.13 Release


Download latest Ventuz release with Deltacast SDI input support for Ventuz 2008 Professional and Broadcast. 


Following the scheduled progress we are proud to be on track!  With offering latest Ventuz 2008 R5.13
for download, the promised support for DELTACAST cards is now available. 
 
Use any DELTACAST card to realize projects with up to 4 x SD SDI inputs or 2 x HD SDI ( 1080i or 720p ) inputs
simultaneously even with Ventuz 2008 Professional edition. As usual Ventuz 2008 Broadcast edition also supports the
output and keying feature. Supporting DELTACAST cards provides customers with a reasonably priced alternative to other
supported boards like DVS, Matrox and Decklink.

We really appreciated the received support from the DELTACAST team. THANK YOU :)

In addition to this major feature Ventuz 2008 R5.13 provides you with new bugfixes and features:
 
FEATURE     
 		F373     
    		Added ResourceLinker node to add resources to a scene (Archive, Presentation) which are not statically referenced by other nodes.
 
FEATURE


 		F426


 		Added HitTest Node which works like the MouseOver node but gets the coordinates from input properties. This makes it possible to send coordinates e.g. via OSC and to hit-test a geometry.
not applicable in Express Edition
              
FEATURE
 		F427
 		Text Editor now provides a WordWrap mode.
 
FEATURE

 		F428

 		The Direct3D configuration has a new option: Prevent D3D Queuing. Enabling this prevents Direct3D of queuing multiple frames in advance and results in a better timing behavior and shorter reaction delays.
 
FEATURE
 		F429
 		The overall timing in Ventuz has been changed from CPU time to GPU frames, with the effect of smoother animations.
 
FEATURE


 		F430


 		Native support of DELTACAST SDI video boards with high quality SD and HD live video inputs with only 2 frames delay to the DVI/RGB output.
not applicable in Express Edition
                    
FEATURE



 		F431



 		Added first version of the MIDI Timecode node to receive MTC. Bind its output to the new Timecode (TC) Converter node to get Time and Total Seconds to control animations. The TC Converter node does not support frame time interpolation yet. This will be added in the next update.
not applicable in Express Edition
                
FEATURE
 		F432
 		The Property Editor now provides buttons for easy access to the special functions of certain nodes, like Script, SlideManager, Switch
 
FEATURE
 		F433
 		The backward/forward buttons of a five-button mouse are used to navigate out-of or into containers.
 
FEATURE


 		F434


 		The Float and Int Expressions support now the Custom Model mechanism. Custom names, variable number of arguments and different types are now possible! Expressions loaded from older scenes don't support CM, they have to be exchanged manually against a new instance of the Expression node.
 
FEATURE


 		F435


 		The Ventuz Designer now has the option to warn the user if a saved scene wouldn't be compatible to an earlier version of Ventuz. This is very useful, if a project has to be deployed to Presenter/Runtime machines not running the latest Version. Earliest comparable version is R5.12
 
FEATURE


 		F436


 		OSC (OpenSoundControl) library has been updated (v1.3) to send/receive nested bundles and plain elements. The Ventuz OSC receiver node now receives also plain (unbundled) elements. OSC sender nodes still sending bundles only.
