Release Notes

Important Information
Quicktime Vulnerability Issues
The current Grass Valley editing/finishing products that may be affected are Rio, Qube, sQ Edit, sQ
Cut (with I/O), QTube Edit and Marco.
Also The broadcast products sQ EditX, sQ CutX (with I/O), Live Touch Client, sQ Play and sQ
Record.
All of these have an I/O menu that support the import/soft mount of Quicktime files using the
Quicktime codecs.
To enable this support the end user needs to have accepted the end user license agreement andinstalled the Quicktime player.
Grass Valley are currently researching an alternative to having the Quicktime installed and will
have an alternative solution for IBC.
In the interim for current systems it is recommended that Quicktime is re-installed with only the
Quicktime Essentials selected.
This will minimise the Quicktime player vulnerability, but will not eliminate it.
For new installations where the ability to import Quicktime files is still required then only the
Quicktime Essentials should be selected from the installer.
For further information please contact the Grass Valley Support Department
https://www.grassvalley.com/support/sam/Support for Maxwell “M” and Pascal “P” CUDA cards
V4.3.0 adds support for Maxwell “M” & Pascal “P” CUDA cards.

Neo and Neo Nano workstation software
The installable package includes Neo Workstation software for completeness.
No Update to Neo Workstation software is required when upgrading from V2.1 rev 4 to V4.5.3

Release Notes

Base Compatibility
Base, Desk and Dict folders are compatible with V3.1 rev 1.
V3.1 rev 1 was a major release and requires a database schema change. After installation the firstrun up will migrate the base, desk and dict folders automatically creating a back-up of the original
ones.
NOTE : v4.5.3 compressed clips are not backwardly compatible with V 4.4 or earlier versions.
A compressed clip becomes UNDEFINED and displays as noise with V4.4 or earlier versions.
NOTE : RAW colour space causes some clips to be tagged as ‘raw’, this becomes ‘unknown’ if thedatabase is used in V4.0.0 or V3.1 rev 1. For this reason V4.3.0 will copy the V4.0.0 database
and then update it to use ‘raw’ colour space leaving a copy of the V4.0.0 database if theuser wishes to down grade.
Note.
1) ONLY NEW material will be updated to use ‘raw’ colour space (if applicable)
2) Any new / modified material will not be in the copied database.
NOTE : This new database schema is not back compatible with V3.0 rev 1 or V2.1 rev 4
NOTE : v4.4.0 colour settings are not back compatible with V 4.3 or earlier versions

Archive Compatibility
Existing archives from V 2.1 or earlier software versions will come in as “raw video” or “raw log” anduse ‘source colour processing’ as the default. To maintain existing compatibility clips should beviewed on output and rendered at “raw video” or Rec709 and 2.2 gamma.

Render Compatibility
Due to improvements in the colour cube processing, 2.1 archives and migrated base settings willrender with a subtlety different result.

Release Notes

Previous releases
New Features and Enhancements in V 4.4.1 to V 4.4.15
Alchemist stretch

Settings are available in the RIO setting configuration, for CPU or GPU processing.
CPU – Alchemist will use CPU only.

Shared- Half of all Cuda cards assigned for Alechemist.

Note: When 50% of all cards are set for Alchemist, Alchemist can only use a single card so
this results in 50% of all additional cards being unused.

Rio 4K/8K
Release Notes
Dedicated GPU– One Cuda card is dedicated for alchemist use.
If system only has one card, then 1/3 of the single card is dedicated for use.

It recommended by GV if Alchemist is not being used that the setting is set to CPU only.

Other Information
Windows 10 support
Rio 4K/8K and Rio Assist now support Windows 10 pro edition
Please note that the Sentinel Driver v7.5.9 is required to use Windows 10
https://sentinel.gemalto.com/sentinel-drivers/
Note the Version required, USB only no need to install parallel:

All Software only and existing Rio systems if upgraded to Windows 10, need to ensure all Windows
10 driver requirements are fully compatible before doing so.
Grass Valley have not fully tested all configurations and commonly used 3rd party cards at this point
on Windows 10 pro edition.

This document assumes the Platform is Windows 7. Some drivers for Windows 10 maybe different
however Grass Valley will endeavour to document specific cases as and when they arise.

For further information please contact Grass Valley Support Department
