ist of the various fixes and enhancements in ForwardT Software 5.0.0 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ###SLFileForwarder **New** (+) Application for pumping video files from remote disks. Executes scanning the OnAir schedule at a specified depth and pumping files to a machine with the OnAir program. ### ForwardT Software installer (+) Removed the page for selecting and registering DS filters - now registration is performed in the FDConfig application (+) Removed selecting the board operation mode (standard/limited) - now the mode is selected in the FDConfig application (+) Removed the page for plug-ins to WMP9 - plag-ins are selected straight in WMP9 (+) Removed the FDVideoSwitch.exe application from the package ###AutoDetect (+) Created two separate applications for adjusting the AutoDetect SW: SLDTMFConfig - for configuring DTMF cue tones, SLJingleConfig - for configuring jingles (+) For the DTMF cue tones, added ability of selecting an audio channel of detection and selecting a type of the signal (right channel, left channel, stereo, stereo inverted) (+) For the DTMF cue tones, added ability of specifying the "delay" parameter. The parameter allows setting a pause between the cue tone detection and the signal triggering in the OnAir program. (+) For the DTMF cue tones, added a special option "timeout". That is specifying the time on the expiry of which the program stops waiting the DTMF cue tone considering the event to have occured. (+) For the fragments of jingles, added ability of specifying the "offset" parameter. The parameter allows setting the location of a fragment for detecting in a Wav file with a jingle. Consequently, the same jingle fragment can be used repeatedly when adjusting the recognition - just changing the "offset" parameter shift the recognition zone. (+) For the fragments of jingles, added ability of specifying the "delay" parameter. The parameter allows setting a pause between detecting a caption and the signal triggering in OnAir. (+) For the fragments of jingles, added ability of performing individual settings. For example, to set one's separate level of recognition for each wav file participating in the recognition. (+) For the fragments of jingles, changed the structure of parameters: added notions of sound sample collections, audio device collections. (+) Revised the SLJingleTuning application (before called SLAutoDetectTest), intended to estimate the quality of a sound sample (fitness for recognition) and to fit the optimal parameters of recognizing jingles. (+) In the future, the SLJingleTuning application willbe included in the standard installer of the ForwardT Software package. (+) Added special option "timeout" for the fragments of jingles. That is specifying the time on the expiry of which the program stops waiting the jingle considering the event to have occured. ###OnAir (+) Added ability of full-fledged working on machines without the FD300 board (the DirectShow mode). The computer monitor and the SLTitlePreview program are used as preview. It is possible to make a full-fledged schedule (AVI, MPEG2 files, graphics files) with loading from the title project, to play the schedule with audio. (+) Added displaying a sound track for MPEG2 files in TrimEditor. (+) Added displaying a sound track for WAV files in TrimEditor. (+) Added ability of mirroring on several machines at the same time. (+) Added new modes of the program operation: FD300 Channel A / FD300 Channel B (2-4 channel solution for cable operators), DVM6x (solutions for broadcasting in HD resolutions). (+) Added ability of synchronizing from SLTimeServer (time server). (+) Added *.m2t , *.mpv, *.m2ts to the list of the standard extensions on the files page. (+) Added ability of setting a timeout for the GPI-in events. The default is 0 (no timeout). (+) Added ability of playing *.wav files in the program instances started as a title server. (+) Extended time for the command "Start loading schedule at the latest" in the schedule autoload settings: now can specify hours and minutes. (+) Added ability of specifying several commands in the settings of one GPI event (commands are listed separated by semicolons). (+) To the list of commands executed via GPI or SLMessageServer, added command for transfer to the beginning of the next block (Shedule.SkipBlock). When performing the command, playing the current block is stopped, a transfer to preparing the next block (if is) being executed. The command is analogous to shifting position in the leftmost column of the program schedule. The command has no an assigned button (added via the "Actions editor" page). (+) Extanded list of commands displayed when creating a GPI-out object (GPI settings page). Now they are three, have the same name, but different keys: 1) name (operates in the pulse mode), 2) name + on (closes GPI contacts), 3) name + off (opens GPI contacts). (+) Added ability to disable checking files in schedule periodically (Settings->Video files preparation) (+) Changed procedure of scanning PostPlay storages, which allows avoiding the program hang-up when losing connection with remote storages (+) Changed the core realization of SLMessageServer (rewritten under WFC). (+) Added a setting which allows avoiding frame bounce when switching from one input to another (sources without synchronization). The setting is written into the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SoftLab-NSK\SLTMVideoPlayer\LiveSwitchingDelay=14 (in fields). (+) Restored ability of synchronizing schedule by LTC (!) Fixed bug with unpredictable pause when displaying title elements (!) Fixed bug when keeping reports causing the program hang-up or processor overload. (!) Fixed bug with not keeping the On state of the "Auxiliary audio On/Off (F6)" button when exiting OnAir. (!) Fixed bugs when entering time in the wait time commands editing window (!) Fixed bug when an avi file absence mark spontaneously appears in the schedule, even if the file is present. (!) Fixed bugs when displaying file names in hieroglyphic languages (!) Fixed bug with stopping the PostPlay clips playback when using a remote storage. (!) Fixed several bugs when executing the schedule (!) Fixed bug when launching the application with some licenses (ForwardTP VInOnly, ForwardTP2 VInOnly). ###Titling system (+) Added playing audio in the "AnimLogo" title element (+) Added playing audio in the "Video" title element (+) Added ability of working with HD resolution files in the FDTitleDesigner application (+) Added receiving ID messages (SDK) in the SMS / SMSRoll title elements (+) Altered the internal mechanism of controlling the SMS and SMSRoll title elements, which fixes the hang-up and/or incorrect operation problem of title elements when exiting the OnAir program (+) Removed the "File name" property and added the "Style file name" property in the properties of SMS objects. The field can be empty (in this case, the default style is used, like in the "RollCrawl"). (+) Added the interlace support to the properties of the Flash title element (+) Added option which allows setting the periodicity of query of SMS messages (+) Extended file of the "Video" title element: added ability to select an audio and video line (LineA / LineB), which allows launching two title elements of this type on the same FD300 board. The *.LiveSettings file parameters: BoardNumber = 1 // 1 - 4 IsOutput = 1 // 1 - from the board output, 0 (or no parameter at all) - from the board input InputLine = 1 // 1,2 - the input line (1- LineA, 2- LineB) AudioLine = 2 // 1 - 3 - the input audio line number TransitionTime = 10 //the transition time in frames LeftOffset=130 //all the rest of the parameters in pixels RightOffset=220 TopOffset=120 BottomOffset=23 LeftCrop = 20 RightCrop = 10 TopCrop = 2 BottomCrop = 2 The XXXOffset parameters show how much is required to shift relative to the dimensions specified in the FDTitleDesigner. The XXXCrop parameters show how much is required to indent from the original image (+) Added SLTimeServer as the time source to the "Clock" title element (!) Fixed bug causing the RollCrawl jerking. (!) Fixed several bugs when displaying a RollCrawl created on the basis of a text (!) Fixed several bugs relating to the behaviour of a title object with a "main" element in the group (!) Fixed several bugs of the "Flash" title element (!) Fixed bugs in the SMS and SMSRoll title elements when the Style Collection File (*.efc) is not selected or empty (!) Fixed several bugs of the "Caption" title element (!) Fixed bug in the "RollCrawl" title element when one of the *.tga files was absent in the spt file (!) Fixed bug relating to displaying the "SMSRoll" title element (irregularity) when scrolling the text ###FDPostPlayPreview (+) In the Preview playback properties dialog (F9), the Playback Audio on device list is now divided into two: DirectSound device (the old list) and Forward device. In the first list, it's possible to select the sound devices available for playing via DirectSound, in the second list - intended for the playback directly on the FD boards, without DirectSound and drivers. (+) Added the Alt+Home/End hotkeys to transfer to the marked times MarkIn/Out (the hotkeys are available only if the times are already marked). (+) Added ability of changing the zoom with the mouse scroll wheel: keeping the Ctrl+Shift buttons pressed or keeping the mouse left button pressed. ###FDSportVideoIn (!) Fixed problem with 100 percent CPU loading when working with one storage in some conditions. ###FDPostPlayVideoIn (+) Added command "Allocate needed space on this disk" analogous to a double click on a table line (the command executes editing the amount of disk space allocated for the storage). The command is called by a right click on the list of disks for a video/audio storage in the Video/Audio areas respectively of the Storage configuration dialog. (!) Fixed several bugs in the application operation. ###ImageUpdater (!) Fixed bug with the image "jerking" (was noticeable in OnAir and FDTitleDesigner) (+) Added support for the "Heavy Weather" weather station (added special task type "SensorEx") (+) Support for the Elemer5920 sensor is now performed via an Elemer OPC Server (added new sensor type ÎÐÑ_õõõ). A task of the Elemer type is removed from the list. (+) Added ability of minimizing the application to the system tray. A right click on the icon opens a menu containing the basic commands for working in the application. ###SPTEditor (!) Fixed bug when importing from the text file in hieroglyphic languages (+) Added saving the last selected file in the Add Task dialog box (+) Added option of combining files. Now it is possible to select a contiguous group of files and combine them into one. ###FDConfig (+) Added displaying information of products in the Selected Board Info area (+) Added information of the "AutoDetect" SW to the list of the allowed application types. (+) Added ability of DS filters registration for different boards in the Advanced dialog. (+) Added support for setting the parameters of the SDI option embedded audio. (+) Added signal presence indication (red/green mark) ###SLLogViewer (+) Added parameters for launching from the command line, which allow making a list of rolls played for a certain time. ###FDMovieListEditor (+)Added option of sorting ###TGA2AVI (+)Added option of sorting ###FDCapture * Added mode of working with codecs of the DivX, XVid,.. type. ###FDPreviewMonitor (+) Removed the "Overlay" mode. (+) Added option for previewing sygnal from the board input lineB (enabled when launching the application from the command line with the parameter "-lineb") ###CopyDR (+) Added ability of minimizing the application to the system tray. A right click on the icon opens a menu containing the basic commands for working in the application. (+) Added option of file synchronizationin in the automatic mode ("Autorepeat"). (+) Added ability of editing tasks for copying (+) Altered realization of keeping the log window (+) Added ability of launching the application from the command line. The command line format:"path_to_CopyDR" #N /cmd= "path_to_cmd.txt" /log= "path_to_log.txt" where #N - the launched application number /cmd= "path_to_cmd.txt" - path to the file with the task list /log= "path_to_log.txt" - path to the log file ###MPEG2 (+) In the FDMPEGIndexer application, added m2t, m2ts, as well as mpv to the list of the file extensions supported. (+) In the IndexReader.exe program, added the command line support: when entered path to a slm file, it will try to open the file and display information of the MPEG index, as if the file were opened in the program with the Open button. (+) Changed procedure of working with audio/video decoders of the third party developers ###Êîäåêè (!) Fixed problem when displaying "black frame" in AdobePremiere 6.5
