Upgrading to 23.2

We would not recommend that you upgrade your Pixotope machines in the middle of a production or pre-production phase.

When choosing to upgrade, we recommend that you backup your existing Pixotope projects, so that you will be able to go back if you need to.

New default anti-aliasing method

Temporal Super Resolution (TSR) is the new default anti-aliasing method.

Using TSR comes with a performance cost. In Project settings you could change back to Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) which is the default in version 23.1.

Director changes

Timecode

Configuring Timecode has been moved into the routing panel.

Learn more about how to Configure timecode (LTC)

Genlock

The interface for configuring Genlock has been updated for consistency.

Tracking only

For XR machines, there is no need for a dummy video input anymore. Just add "Tracking only" instead of a full "Camera system".

Network Health Check

The Network Health Check control panel has been deprecated in favor of the new Diagnostics > Connections which offers a better integration.

Lens file location

The lens files are now stored in the Synced Config files folder, where they can easily be synced across machines.

Learn more about the Synced Config files folder

Migrating show files

To carry over show files and machine settings from an old installation you can

  • Click "Copy folder" at the end of the installation

  • OR manually copy the files into the Local storage folder of the new installation

Migrating projects

When opening a project from Unreal or an old Pixotope version:

  1. When prompted in the Editor, click "Update"

    • This will update your .uproject file

  2. Restart the Editor

Unreal projects can be used in Pixotope right away and do not need any migration steps.
