Resolume 2.4 released

[bart]

Here it is: Resolume 2.4 final! We smashed loads of bugs and added a couple of small enhancements. This is a free update so download and enjoy!

One of this enhancements is a new overlay mode called AlphaLuma. With the AlphaLuma overlay mode the luminance of a pixel determines it's alpha value. In other words, if you would make the video grayscale then the dark parts would become more transparent then the light part in the image. Compared to a normal alpha blend that has a tendency to make the result a bit gray and dull this keeps the overall image nice and bright.

For a full list of bug fixes and enhancements checkout the change log on the download page. In case you missed the 2.4 beta version here is what is new compared to 2.3:

BPM Clock
With the BPM clock in Resolume it is very easy so synchronise video clips to the tempo (Beats Per Minute) of the music. By setting the the video clips in BPM mode the speed of the clips is automatically adjusted to fit in any number of beats. The BPM clock can be set manually or can be linked to an external Midi clock.

With this function your visuals are so easily synchronised to the beat of the music! The BPM clock can also be used to drive effect parameters and to have them play synchronised to the music.

Checkout the BPM clock chapter in the manual for instructions.

DMX
DMX can be used to control Resolume but also to send DMX signals from flash movies playing in Resolume. This enables you to integrate your visuals and video with lights, strobes, lasers, moving heads, LED panels and any other device that is DMX compatible. DMX signals can be send via Artnet over a computer network or via USB with the Enttec DMX USB Pro Interface.

Check out the DMX chapter in the manual for instructions.

Speed improvements
We took some extra time to totally dissect the Resolume engine and Edwin was able to improve the playback speed dramatically, with one layer playback framerates can be up to 80% faster and running multiple layers can be up to 10-20% faster. So if you were thinking about switching from 320x240 to 640x480 now is the time to try it out.

Cool.
Going to try out the BPM clock at my next gig in a couple of weeks - see how it goes. Hade a few practice runs in the house. Great to have a bit of extra freedom to concentrate on other things.
Looking forward to it.

Nice one.
