Built 2021-12-03T07:19+00:00
Changes:
- DeckLink - capture supports signal bit-depth detection (8-bit capture is no longer default if not explicitly requested), support for HDR metadata in display
- Raspberry Pi - support for HW encoding of H.264
- higher bit depth support for various compressions - Cineform, libavcodec (libx264, VP9, NVENC)
- libavcodec - new compressions support and inclusion in Linux builds - SVT, rav1e, david; videotoolbox HW accelerated decoding
- NDI - support for 16-bit video, compatibility with NDI 5
- added some NAT traversal techniques - PCP, NAT-PMP and the server mode
- GPUJPEG - improved handling of color spaces - BT.609 and RGB is finally encoded natively allowing faster encode/decode and possibly also better fidelity by avoiding color conversions
- Support for 360 degree video stitching and playback
- GUI - now it's possible to select a specific encoder for each codec
Fixes since last release:
- fixed testcard pattern gradient2
- build fixes (OpenGL, SDP/HTTP, SVT VP9)
- broken JPEG from libavcodec if threads disabled (threads=no)
- AppImage: bundle i965-va-driver-shaders instead of i965-va-driver
- fixed AppImage GUI crash on Ubuntu 21.10 + compat with Rocky Linux 8.5
