Software Updates

  • Carbonite HyperMax v11.2.0 Released

    HyperMax is seeing another release!

    In January we released version 11.1 which included the following features:

    Preprocessor Effects
    The Preprocessor creates visual effects that can
    be applied any 3D DVE channel. Any number of
    preprocessor effects can be applied to the same
    DVE channel.
    • Ultrawide Defocus — adds a horizontal and
    vertical blur to the image on the channel.
    • Strobe — alternates between freezing and
    playing the live video of the channel.

    Key Auto Drop
    The Key Auto Cut, or DSK Auto Drop, feature
    sets whether or not the keys are cut off-air when
    a source is selected directly on the background
    bus of the control panel.
    Key Auto Drop automatically cuts the selected
    keys off-air when a source is selected directly
    on the Background bus (hot punched) of the ME
    or MiniME™ on the control panel.
    Note: This feature only applies when a source is selected
    directly on the control panel.

    Media-Store Capture
    Capture a still image ofthe video and alpha from
    any bus on ME P/P using Media-Store channels
    1 or 2.

    MaxScene Source List
    You can now view a table of all external video
    sources being used by any MaxScene in the
    switcher. This tells you how many input you are
    using and allows you remove sources to make
    room.


    Version 11.2 is now available and adds even more while also delivering plenty of Bug Fixes!

    64 Aux Buses
    The number of aux buses available to the
    switcher has been increased to 64.

    Frame Redundancy
    Two switchers can now be set up in a Sender
    and Listener pair. The Sender is the primary
    switcher for your production and the Listener
    is the redundant or backup switcher. Both the
    Sender and Listener should be configured
    similarly with the same media assets. When an
    action is performed on the primary switcher, it
    sends that command to the redundant switcher.
    If the primary switcher goes down, the
    redundant switcher can be used to continue the
    production.

    3 HyperMax Switchers in the Same Frame
    MaxConfig can now set up 3 independent
    HyperMax switchers within the same Ultrix™
    frame. Each switcher must have an SDPE blade
    assigned as ME P/P. Additional blades can be
    added or removed from each switcher as
    required.

    Looping Shift
    Multiple shift buttons can now be replaced with
    a single shift button that loops through all the
    shifted buses. Press the looping shift button
    repeatedly to go to the next shift bus until
    coming back to the main bus. The loop
    progresses through the shift buses in one
    direction only.

    Individual Bus Maps
    Bus maps can now be assigned to individual
    buses separately. This allows you to assign a
    different map to a keyer bus than the
    background/preset bus and Aux Buses.
    Each Panel Connection (Main/Sat1/Sat2) have their own 16 bus maps and assignments.

    If a recovery or the panel is required please use the 3.2.0 Recovery Image and then perform a 3.3.1 upgrade followed by a DashBoard 9.15 upgrade.
