Nov 10: v3.4.5 Build 186

Discussion: The big news in this release is:
   a) significantly faster (up to 50%) decoder performance due to additional threading optimizations that take better advantage
         of 4-core and 8-core machines.
   b) support for AJA Xena 2K cards for timeline monitoring.  Capture/ingest is not yet supported for Xena 2K
   c) added support for exporting 3D LUTs as Active Metadata when 8-bit filters are applied to the clips. Previously all applied filters
         had to be 32-bit floating point. (Prospect 4K only).

• Added à Support for AJA Xena 2K for timeline playback and scrubbing - currently single link
• Added à Cineon 985a PD985Log equivalent curve type for Active Metadata (Prospect 4K)
• Added à more curve options for encoding and decoding through Active Metadata (helps with some Red projects.) (Prospect 4K)
• Added à Timecode support in HDLink for Sony EX1 MP4 files.
• Enhanced à Decoder performance increased significantly for systems with 4 or more cores (v4.3.)
• Enhanced à Look Exporter (Prospect 4K) now supports 8-bit filters in addition to 32-bit filters
• Enhanced à As PC are getting faster, we now mark fewer filters as requiring a render in full-res playback and export to tape modes
• Enhanced à Premiere Pro low memory issues for high resolution (>1920) projects
• Enhanced à Timeline audio sync start for Premiere Pro users that aren't getting hardware sync via an AJA HD-SDI card
• Fixed à Extreme super saturated Active Metadata color correction would clip highlight incorrectly through HD-SDI output
• Fixed à HD-SDI playback for non-standard source resolutions like 4Kx2K over 1920x1080.
• Fixed à 10-bit HD-SDI export to tape playback mode, was sometimes playing green and wasn't supporting RT titles with an opacity track
• Fixed à Minor color difference between 8 and 16-bit modes of the CineForm Color Balance filter for RT HD-SDI play-out

Oct 8: v3.4.3 Build 183

Discussion: The big news in this release is:
   a) the addition of a 32-bit floating point real-time Levels filter for Premiere Pro!
   b) preservation of timecode when re-wrapping from AVI to MOV
   c) bug fix that caused a rare decoder race condition resulting in infrequent but visible artifacts in decoded images (please update!)

• Added à Simple real-time Levels filter. 32-bit floating point precision (Premiere default is 8-bit.)
• Added à AVI to MOV rewrap now preserves timecode
• Added à Encoder/Decoder support for new monochrome encoding mode
• Enhanced à All 32-bit float filters now have "32-bit" in their name, allowing quick find in Premiere's filter search

While this made scrubbing a little faster, is was annoying for HDR source.  Playback control selects either 32-bit or 8-bit scrubbing.
• Enhanced à YC scopes now support 100+ luma levels.
• Minor à Horizontal and Vertical flip filter moved into "CineForm Filters" within Video Effects
• Fixed à Contrast shift in the CineForm Color Corrector between playback and scrubbing

August 25: v3.4.1 Build 179

Discussion: The big feature addition for this release is
a) the inclusion of R2CF.exe, a converter for Red One media into CineForm files (Prospect 4K/HD only)

July 28: v3.4.0 Build 174

• Fixed à Scrubbing in 32-bit mode delivered incorrect frames

July 25: v3.4.0 Build 173

Discussion: The big news for this release is
a) adding controls to support conversions from the JPEG2000-based Grass Valley Infinity camcorder, and
b) the addition of Active Metadata to both CineForm 444 and 422 sources (Prospect 4K only).  Active Metadata is a very powerful concept that can significantly speed up the look-intent portion of post-production. 
Many other minor updates are included plus the inevitable set of bug fixes.

NOTE1: The Active Metadata workflow is supported only under Prospect 4K.  For those Prospect HD customers who want to experiment with this, uninstall your copy of Prospect HD and install Prospect 4K.  When you're done, you can reverse the process to reinstall Prospect HD.

NOTE2: Check out our Active Metadata Tech Notes in the Tech Notes section for tutorial information.  Those Notes currently mostly refer to CineForm RAW sources (with Active Metadata), but be aware that all CineForm sources are now compatible with Active Metadata.

• Added à Controls in HD Link to support Grass Valley Infinity file conversions when using I-J2K Suite
• Added à Active Metadata support added for both CineForm 444 and 422 sources.  The feature and function of CineForm RAW is now identical for all Cineform file types (in Prospect 4K only)

• Added à CineForm 444 12-bit RGB files can now decode to 10-bit YUV 422

• Added à CineForm RAW decoder output now supports v210 pixel format
• Added à The file metadata dialog now supports per-clip demosaic selection (instead of demosaic previously being global)
• Fixed à File metadata now properly refreshes when stepping between clips.
• Fixed à Active metadata caching issues when switching color database projects while in Premiere
• Fixed à Active Metadata gamma correction would not be active if both white balance and matrix where disabled
