Changes

Requires the latest Blackmagic Desktop Video (version 12.5.1 or newer)

Fixes

• Removed some Unity GUID clashes with AVPro Video components
  NOTE: Any Unity projects that use the following AVPro DeckLink components may need to reconnect them:
  ‘ApplyToMesh.cs’
  ‘UpdateMultiPassStereo.cs’
  ‘AVProDeckLink-VR-InsideSphere.shader’
• Fixed 10-bit RGB not outputting bug - https://github.com/RenderHeads/UnityPlugin-AVProDeckLink/issues/66
• Fixed broken '09_InsideSphereDemo' scene

Changes

• Updated DeckLink SDK to 12.5.1

Changes

Requires the latest Blackmagic's Desktop Video (version 12.2.0 or newer)

Fixes

• Fixed timecode not being read correctly above 30hz - https://github.com/RenderHeads/UnityPlugin-AVProDeckLink/issues/61
• Fixed frame order issue when input and output are synched, especially when interlaced (causing ghosting) - https://github.com/RenderHeads/UnityPlugin-AVProDeckLink/issues/45
• Fixed occasional misaligned thread locking behaviour

Changes

Requires the latest Blackmagic's Desktop Video (version 12.2.0 or newer)

Improvements

• Further improved threaded output performance (less locking)

Changes

• Added ‘09_InsideSphereDemo.unity’ (see manual)

Fixes

• Fixed threaded input/output glitching with D3D11 (particularly interlaced)
• Fixed duplex issues preventing stereo mode working
• Fixed duplex issue with ‘Input Explorer’ demo preventing input display if output already in use

Changes

Requires the latest Blackmagic's Desktop Video (version 12.2.0 or newer)

Improvements

• Threaded input for improved performance
• D3D12 support added (requires 2019.3 or above for full support)
• Added support for Unity 2022

Changes

Requires the latest Blackmagic's Desktop Video (version 12.2.0 or newer)

Improvements

• Better performance getting the time code value by better multi-threading mutex usage, especially for higher resolutions

Changes

• New low-level rendering system

Changes

Requires the latest Blackmagic's Desktop Video (version 12.2.0 or newer)

Improvements

• Added support for colour space and HDR metadata on output (rec 709, 2020 and 2100 - HLG)

Changes

• Updated to compile against DeckLink 12.2 SDK

Fixes

• Fixed issue with input/outputs failing to start on full duplex devices
• Fixed a warning if trying to reattach an eye input texture to a camera target texture
• Fixed Windows 7 support (compatibility issue with D3D11.1)

Changes

Requires the latest Blackmagic's Desktop Video (version 12.0.0 or newer)

Improvements

• Added support for adjusting Unity frame-rate based on output health status, and added proactive rather than reactive late/dropped frame correction resulting in more robust frame drop prevention
• Added support to DeckLinkOutput to generate timecode output, and if synced to input stream it will pass that timecode through
• Automated multi-output support
• Performance improvement by removing lock (within lock) from frame expected display time tracking
• Split frame reading and writing from GPU and placed writing on DeckLink consumer thread via custom render context for more optimal throughput
• Added better detection of already in-use devices
• Added new UI element to show output buffer health

Changes

• Updated DeckLink SDK to 12.0
• Internal rendering system heavily refactored
• Removed multi-output frame blending
• Removed multiple initialisation calls at startup

Fixes

• Fixed startup bug with first frame not being output
• Fixed bug with DeckLink output frame completed callback being out of expected order
• Fixed bug in device selection by index script

Changes

Improvements

• Added 10-bit RGB option as a forcible input mode

Fixes

• Fixed issue where field mode would be returned incorrectly causing deinterlacer to run when it shouldn’t, which resulted in reduced quality
• Fixed 8-bit ARGB shader applying gamma transform to wrong channel
• Fixed Save PNG option to resolve to sRGB first
• Fixed HDR option not being applied to automatic mode detection
• Fixed explorer demo so that visual zoom of preview now works

Changelog

Fixes

• Fixed crash in 32-bit builds with IL2CPP due to C++ calling convention mismatches

Changelog

Improvements

• Added Audio Mixer component for controlling levels of multiple audio channels
• Refactored FrameConverter class
