Warnings and Important modifications

• M|Family: Download the Deltacast drivers from our website. Download the universal version if you are on an Apple Silicon Mac, and the intel version if not.
• ❗Known Issues:
  • No deinterlacing on Apple Silicon! There is an issue with the code that we used previously to deinterlace the outputs signal. We will change the code we use to support this, but until done, deinterlacing does not work on Apple Silicon, so if you use interlaced format, and do a pause, you will see either 2 frames simultaneously, or half of the image. Also, slow motion quality will not be as good as previous version. Note that the issue can not be seen in the preview, and there is no issue in the recorded files, the issue is there "only" in the output. The issue happens:
    • on Apple Silicon computers, with both the intel and universal versions.
    • on Intel computers, the issue is there only with the universal version. So if you are using interlaced formats, only an intel computer with the intel version of M|Replay will deinterlace. With the universal version, and on M1 computers with the intel version as well,  We will restore deinterlacing before the release, but if you are using an intel Mac, prefer to download the intel version.
  • Loop recording: This is work in progress, and when using loop recording, you won't be able to use the clips in the playlist. Only external clips. Resuming a session which has the loop recording option may not work as intended as well.
  • There is currently a bug in QuickTime X and Final Cut Pro with files longer than 12 hours. They will play without audio. But the audio is recorded in the file, and if you export a shorter duration from M|Replay, you'll be able to access to it, but exporting or sending to Final Cut Pro X won't work for sessions longer than 12hours.
  • Creating the header for a 25hours file can take some time. The session will work immediately, but the send to Final Cut Pro X or reading the files directly won't work until the header is created.
