Release Notes

Please note: If you currently use Platinum v639 or below with a Spirit HD/2K/4K, please contact Pandora before upgrading.

v764 (5th October 2011)

New Spirit4K Framing timing offset parameter. This can be used to adjust the timing of the Spirit4K fine framing separately from other Spirit4K parameters.
New "Manual/Auto" switch in Data Setup - Spirit4K panel. If set to Auto, image size will be read from the Spirit4K rather than set from Platinum.
Fix for a crash when using the Creative layer transparency controls.
Fix for crashes using some knobs on Creative layers.
Millennium TK - Max shuttle speed is now 20 rather than 15.

Bug fix with panel mapping on Creative layers.
Fix to allow decklink card to be used for thumbnail grabbing, whilst allowing an external stillstore.

Bug fix to stop a conflict when grabbing images in Data mode, which was occasionally causing a crash.
Bug fix with the mapping of the panel for R1 Bezier layer (was corrupting bezier curves).
Bug fix for red2red button on inactive lists in Data mode.

Bug fix for lockup of Platinum GUI/panels.
Handling for Autodesk *.lut 1D LUT files, and Da Vinci 1D *.data files.
Bug fix when opening lists using "New" in Data mode. This was responsible for allowing only five lists at once and not allowing them to be reopened when closed.
Defocus output/coring values can be copied or swapped between C1 Defocus channels and the C1 Defocus background through the Expanded C1 Defocus panel. Note the key defocus parameters are part of the "Key" group, not defocus group.

New Feature (Revo only):
Can now turn on multiple channels at the same time. With no modifiers, pressing the channel buttons will switch to that channel as normal. However, pressing ALT and the channel buttons will add that channel to the current controls (or remove if it's currently on). All knobs and resets will now affect all channels selected.
New "Full" panels for the revo layers. These can be accessed by double-pressing the R1, C1, C2, or R2 layer buttons.
Bug fix: Stop a crash when pressing CUE-IN or CUE-OUT with no In/Out point.

Implement Decklink for thumbnail grabbing if no Stillstore license (will not grab full-size stills).

New user option to either use full tablet height or maintain screen aspect ratio on tablet. This is useful when splitting the tablet in left and right sections (see v754 release notes).
Revo Hue, Sat, Lum isolation: Left/right (or high/low) soft edges can be adjusted independently by holding ALT (above "Layer 1" on SCC panel, or "Trim" on Transport panel) and using Width and Softness isolation knobs. This works on creative channels and six vector colour cubes.
If using license dongle, splash screen now indicates if Pogle Workstation is present and allows this to be disabled if required. If not using a license dongle, the workstation must always be present.
Bug fix when grabbing images from Enter or Add in Video mode (was causing a crash).
Bug fix in Data mode when Adding/Entering events (was causing the occasional crash).
Bug fix for Decklink button in Vault when using license dongle.
"Stripe All VTRs" bug fix.
FastTrack points are shifted with Event. To fix FastTrack points (ie. shift event while leaving FT points on same frame) hold ALT key when shifting event.
Bug fix to stop clipping in some circumstances when using soft isolation in six-vector channels.

Bug fix when clearing EDL params in the EDL Full panel.
When splitting the tablet in left and right sections (see v754 release notes), maintain aspect ratio for each half.
Warn if Platinum appears to be running more than once.

Fix for DVNR control, broken in v752.
Support for Decklink card for list images and stillstore. Note: you must be running the 64 bit of Red Hat Linux to use this feature.
YoYo Integration: new options for using tablet with yoyo and platinum. Option (in User Setup) to split the tablet in half and use one side for YoYo and the other for Platinum, without the need to switch between. Default is previous behaviour.
Fix for Video Revo Autoshot.

New layout for User Setup panel.
Support for 16-point Iridas 3D cubes (requires latest firmware).
Fix for encoder handling if Evolution panels drop out (parameter was jumping when an encoder was touched for the first time after a drop-out).

Bug fix to stop overflowing system log and debug with errors in some situations.
Bug fix to stop crash when resetting Pixi with "YoYo" selected as DDR source.

New Annotations feature to add written notes to projects. These can be used to mark whether, for example, the project and lists were created with the legaliser turned on, or a noise reducer in circuit.
Revo Datamode:

Original Events in the EDL (obtained with the "Grab EDL" button or by pressing Enter without a list open) are now displayed in the List text view in white. Extra events, added by the user or Revo Autoshot, are displayed in Yellow.
EDL Events (white) cannot be shifted or deleted. If these are incorrect it indicates that the original EDL is incorrect and the EDL should be fixed on the YoYo or client side and reimported. Added events (in yellow) can be shifted or deleted.
Events added with the Autoshot are now treated in the same way as user added events and so can be deleted, shifted or new events added.

In COPY or READ mode, if you break away a single layer (eg. C1), an individual channel can be selected with the channel buttons. This only selects a single channel. If you wish to select more than one channel, use the Status panels.
Bug fix in READ mode when selecting C1 using the "C1" key on the Transport panel (previously was not turning on and off the C1 layer using the button).

PLEASE NOTE: DVNR AGR-IV users require the May 2005 firmware upgrade for your DVNR for all versions of Pogle Platinum listed here.
