Ventuz 4.04
- Ventuz Director officially became a multi-machine solution with the introduction of the Topology Editor. It is a simple and elegant user interface for creating an environment of remote machines (e.g. one or more cluster of playout machines) that are controlled by Director but also can be used for monitoring and performing basic administrative tasks.
- Creation of a Director Show and managing multiple shows based on the same project has been vastly improved. Auto-Templates and Scene Import Information is now stored in the Ventuz Project File (.vzp) to be consistent among all shows. Window Layouts are also no longer stored in a show. Instead they are stored in the user settings on a per-project basis but can also be bundled into the Ventuz Project File for deployment. All of this combined makes creating a new show as simple as selecting a project from the project browser!
- A Window Layout can now contain multiple instances of type Property Editor, Preview Renderer and Playlist. To what data source they are bound can be changed in the window manager.
- Director has a new Tools main menu which contains the options menu entry. In it, various start up options like fullscreen and default topology can be set. See Application Settings for more.
