Spill the beans. DVC3.
Come on simon let us know what the progress is on DVC 3, best kept secret in the lighting control world.
Music sets the mood Lighting sets the ambience
DVC3 development progress is much faster than it was 4 months ago. Some of the fundamental difficult features have been implemented such as support for the new SSL2 profile format.
A fair few bugs have been fixed including a complete re-write of the live previous/next button code.
Other features finished include scene colors, scene progress bars in live, master dimmer, better overview of all midi, dmx and keyboard shortcuts, undo/redo, a few graphical changes and a load more (I can give a complete list once the beta is out)
It's still too early to give a date but we want to have the product ready to introduce at PLASA next year so we should have a beta available a few months before.

We've been working on integrating the new audio analysis recently and at the moment we are fixing some scan library bugs. Development will resume later in the month. Here is some of the stuff done so far...
_____________________________________________________________
********FIXED BUGS********
_____________________________________________________________
when scenes are copied, not all properties are copied
------------------------------------
previous and next buttons should not change every scene in the software, it should only change the most recent activated scene, at the moment I think it is too complicated and for sure there are several bugs here
attached photo show an example of what happened when I clicked the previous and next buttons a few times with 2 scenes selected. The was a very small test show. Notice the random scene which appears on top of the group window...these button actually did something!
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
delete a group, confirmation dialog is in french
------------------------------------
when a scene is duplicated, instead of it being placed underneath the selected scene, it is placed 2 scenes underneath
------------------------------------
_______________________________________________________________________________
********NEW FEATURES********
_______________________________________________________________________________
SSL2 support
------------------------------------
See RGB RGBW and CMY channels if no dimmer
------------------------------------
master dimmer
------------------------------------
Live button are no blinking when in pause.
It is no more possible to activate/deactivate a scene when in pause (correction of a bug)
------------------------------------
pause button which flashes when enabled
------------------------------------
ability to control the dimmer of a scene
------------------------------------
ability to color a group
------------------------------------
double click at the top of a fader to change the DMX value
------------------------------------
The ability to set the editor to BLIND mode incase small adjustments need to be made at the beginning or during a show.
------------------------------------
ctrl+a to select all scenes
------------------------------------
In editor view, possibiltity to drag and drop group as scene
------------------------------------
Possibility to re-arrange groups
------------------------------------
hide a scene in LIVE mode
------------------------------------
Flash button option with keyboard shortcut
------------------------------------
when you create a new effect button, it is currently possible to "include live faders". It should also be possible to "include all levels" so you can make lots of buttons and save what you see into an effect button
------------------------------------
DVS auto arrange buttons option
------------------------------------
possibility to change the colour of a scene button as well as an effect button
------------------------------------
some users are asking if the shortcut manager can have a new group with all the scenes and to show all shortcuts for scenes
------------------------------------
for longer scene names, the text either needs to be made smaller, or it needs to go onto a second line
------------------------------------
It would be cool to have the possibility to add a small bar to a scene button which shows the duration...or if this is too difficult, maybe some numbers to display the total time of the scene and the current position (like a music track on a media player)
------------------------------------
remove possibility to open effects generator in live
------------------------------------
when product with out of date firmware is connected....
1. Dialog box appears
2. User clicks OK
3. Software is terminated
4. Tools.exe starts
------------------------------------
