NOTE: Zenium was previously named Kayak/Xenio

Transcription

1 NOTE: Zenium was previously named Kayak/Xenio Blueprint File Extension in the Designer (as of December 2014): The Zenium Designer will now save blueprints with a.zenium file extension. Previously saved blueprints which used the.kayak or.xenio file extension can still be opened in the Designer using the Designer s File > Open menu. However, the files with the older.kayak or.xenio file extension will not be shown in the Zenium Designer User Files panel. Updating Zenium Plugins Using the Repo Open the Zenium Repo Browser. (From the SelenioFlex File Manager Console select Server > Zenium Repo Browser from the main menu.) If you imported plugins during the installation you will have at least one populated partition. You can update existing partitions or create new ones. Option 1: Add Plugin Updates to an existing partition. This will add the new versions to the partition without deleting the older versions. To add new plugins to an existing partition from a remote repository: Disable the Read Only option in the Repo Browser and click the Synchronize button Enter the URL of the remote repository. For the Zenium Public Repository enter Select the remote repo partition. Remote plugins that are newer than local plugins will be shown. Select the plugins you want to sync and click the "Synchronize Selected" button (lower right). To add new plugins to an existing partition from a Zip file: Download the Plugins zip bundle Select Plugin > Add Plugins (Zip bundle) and select the zip file Option 2: Create a new partition for updated Plugins If you may want to run some Zenium Blueprints using the older version of the plugins, while being able to run other Zenium Blueprints using the newer versions of the plugins, then you should create a new partition. When you have more than one partition, when you launch Zenium Designer you will be asked to select the plugin partition to use. When you create a group in SelenioFlex File Manager, you will be asked to select the plugin partition that will be used by Transcode Engines assigned to that group. To create a new partition you must disable the Read Only check box found to the right of the Repository URL line. Select Partition > Add Partition, and enter a partition name. Use the partition dropdown to select your new partition. Add the new plugins to the partition by either sync'ing from a remote repository or from a downloaded plugin Zip file (as detailed above).

2 Change History Zenium Plugins Release HEVC Encoder: This component has been added to support encoding of compressed HEVC (H.265) video. This plugin supports muxing into a transport stream, with Main, Main 10, and Main 12 profiles and a variety of levels. Video Rotation: This component has been added to support 90, 180, and 270 degree rotations. MOV Multiplexer: Support for XDCAM IMX (SD) has been added to the component. Support for 608 and 708 CC tracks has also been added. AVC Encoder: This component has been redesigned to support dynamic switching on input video format, which is useful for cliplists. It now supports setting custom AFD values, and overwriting an input AFD value. Blueprints using the old AVC encoder (now deprecated) will still load correctly, and will continue to use the old AVC encoder, unless you replace the component in the blueprint. Media File Input: Added an SRT Decoder supporting ANSI and UTF-8 encoded source files. Unicode is not currently supported. Special characters such as musical notes are only preserved in UTF-8 encoding, and will be replaced with? during ANSI encoding. Support for some special characters is available. Text to Image Converter: Added the ability to use a font size larger than 100 by typing the value directly into the Size field. The maximum font size is 800. WebVTT Subtitle Encoder: This component has been added. STL to DVB Enhancement: Added support for font outline thickness control. DTSEncoder plugin: This component has been returned to the bundle. Zenium Plugins Release ProRes Encoder: This plugin has been added to the Studio Bundle. It converts uncompressed video to ProRes video. The following profiles are supported: Apple ProRes 422 LT, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Apple ProRes 422 Proxy, and Apple ProRes 422. ProRes 4444 is not supported. ProRes 4:4:4 decode: support for R10K pixel format in PixelFormat. In order to either preview or transcode, the "Video Data Layout Converter" component must be connected right after R10K RGB uncompressed video. The "Video Data Layout Converter" component settings used can be the default settings: Planar, 32 Scanline Alignment, Automatic Bits Per Sample and etc. MOV Multiplexer: The Advanced tab now has added support for AVCi, including AVC Intra Class 50 and 100 (1080i/25, 1080i/29.97, 1080p23.98, 1080p 25, 1080p 29.97, 720p 59.94, 720p50, 720p29.97, 720p25, 720p23.98). The DTSEncoder plugin has been temporarily removed from the plugin bundle. If you have an existing workflow with the older DTSEncoder plugin then it will no longer work. Please contact support for more information on obtaining an updated DTS plugin. April 15, of 22 Page 2 of 22

3 Zenium Plugins Release MOV Muxer: Support for DNxHD, includes p23, p24, i25, p25, i29, p29, p50, p59. The MOV Muxer is also enhanced to accept PCM audio. SCC Controller: Added support for offset on SCC input file within the Media Source component. Smooth Streaming: The Smooth Streaming Manifest now writes 3-character language codes for compatibility with ISO AVC Decoder: The plugin has been updated for better TS IP input support. Zenium Plugins Release Updated the Media Source plugin so that SelenioFlex File clip list submission can now use an extended schema that supports the additional clip list functionality that is available in the Media Source component. Please see the SelenioFlex File documents for more information about clip list submission. Updated the integrated License Server to version Added a new SPTS Muxer that is intended to be used in DASH workflows. Note that this muxer should not be used for other non-dash workflows. AVC Encoder: When the Set Timecode option was used and the blueprint was saved with a timecode value, the value was slightly different when the blueprint was reopened. This has been fixed. MXF Demuxer: The demuxer was having problems handling ancillary data in some source files, causing the demuxer to crash. Updating the demuxer SDK from v to v fixed this issue. NOTE: Updating the MXF demuxer caused a file decode which was previously working to stop working, specifically when attempting to demux files which include an MPEG2 video essence which have a missing I-Frame (error "Failed to decode MPV sample."). MXF Muxer: Updated the MXF muxer interface to expose a new OP which is used to support AS-03 files. Currently this only supports AS-03 which uses MPEG-2/PCM. (Note: This did not require an MXF Muxer SDK update.) MOV wrapped file decoding issue: Added support to allow the decoder to handle multiple codecs in the same video stream in the QuickTime decoder, specifically ProRes 422, DNxHD 8-bit and DNxHD 10-bit. This could cause general decoding failures and/or color space issues if the file was decoded. Loading a graph that needs to inspect a source file with an MPG file extension which is actually a TS file should now take a significantly shorter time to load. This will help alleviate problems that were occurring in SelenioFlex File Manager, when the longer blueprint startup time was causing errors. Some Transport Stream files which contain AVC were not able to be decoded due to abnormal timecode in the file. This was triggering an error (Invalid frames: 33) which was causing the decode to be aborted, now the software will continue to decode the file and will just log a warning. Fixed an issue where some Transport Stream files which contained AVC at 24fps were not able to be decoded due to the decoder interpreting Pic_timing SEI with a counting_type of 4 being interpreted as drop_frame = true. The error was: Frame Rate 24 not expected to be dropframe April 15, of 22 Page 3 of 22

4 Corrected an MPEG DASH issues where the subtitle track was not being accepted in the MPD writer component (caused by an incompatible input from Timed Text to TTML Segmenter). Fixed an issue that occurred when decoding files which use the QuickTime decoder (such as ProRes files) where the Timecode Overlay could drift out of sync with the timecode in the source file. Fixed a Media Source issue that caused the trim values that were saved within a blueprint to not be used when the blueprint was reloaded and it was run for the first time. Fixed an issue that could occur when attempting to decode mp4 files which contain H.263. Now if that issue is encountered in the Designer an error message is displayed, warning that the demultiplexer thread has failed, and the Designer does not crash. Zenium Plugins Release Updated DPP (Digital Partnership Program) support to version 4. This version no longer requires a sidecar XML, so that has been removed from DPP templates. A Shim version metadata setting has been added. Changed the line up start/color bar duration. Changed the label on FPA to PSE (simply a name change on the UI to match the updated spec). This DPP update requires the use of the updated MXF multiplexer component, which includes SDK v2.6.4, also released with this update. NOTE: Updating the MXF muxer caused a previous MediaInfo workaround to stop working. When MediaInfo was used to inspect a file it was incorrectly merging the info from the header metadata trees located in the header and footer partitions as if they were a single tree, causing it to report links to the essence tracks doubled. A workaround was in the previously released MXFMuxer v (in the February 2015 release) to not repeat the header metadata in the footer. In this release of the MXFMuxer that change is not present and the header metadata is present in the header and footer of the MXF files created (as normally recommended for MXF file creation). Added an option to the Smooth Streaming manifest writer that allows the fragment size element in the manifest to be excluded. This can improve content loading times on some players, but may introduce compatibility issues. Fixed an issue which caused some blueprints that used the Dolby Loudness Corrector component to show 100% progress on the blueprint after the first pass, long before the processing was complete. Updated the MPEG Program Stream demuxer so that it can decode a wider variety of Program Stream files. Additional updates to improve Transport Stream demuxing speed, JPEG2000 decoding speed, media inspection speed. Zenium Plugins Release Media Source Component The Media Source component underwent a significant revision for this release. This source component now has static, user-defined output pins. This allows the outputs to be defined at blueprint design time, even if a representative source is not available. This is in contrast to the Media File Input component, which has dynamic pins that are generated based on the source file that is loaded at blueprint design time. This component can be used to handle sources which have changing video, audio, 608/708 caption, and timecode data. For example, if the source changes video format from HD to SD to HD the media source component will be able to output that video data on the video output pin. April 15, of 22 Page 4 of 22

5 Normally this component s video and audio output pins will be connected to the Video Format Converter and the Audio Format Converter. These format converter components can take the input data and convert conform it to a specific, constant output format. If the source is a clip list, and the video duration is shorter than the audio duration in a single clip (or audio is longer than video), then the gaps can be filled in. If the audio output is set to a certain number of channels and the source has fewer channels then channels with audio silence can be generated. Please note that the Audio Format Converter has also been updated for this release, and the older version of the Audio Format Converter has been depreciated. In particular, for this release the input channels MUST include speaker position assignments or the Audio Format Converter will assume that channel is missing and will generate a silent audio channel to replace the missing channel. If your source does not include speaker positions you can use a Speaker Position Assigner or an Audio Data Type Updater component to add that metadata. Please read the Media Source component s help file and the Audio Format Converter component s help file for more information on these changes.
