jstorms Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Sneak peak of up and coming LOR software updates from the Austin Area Mini get together. Sorry for the poor video quality, all I had on me was my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 WOW. Great as I watch the video. Is it a 64 bit program now? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBobO Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Cough HACK dead air and very exciting that the dev team is far enough along to demo it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randallr Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Okay. You have my attention! I was way more excited after watching this. Wish I'd been in Austin to see this live. (only 6 hrs away.. dangit). Would have been so much more memorable than watching the Oscars flop on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yep Randall. Close to your backdoor. I would be more than happy to start testing it for them. I am a little over 40K channels in this years show. If it can be broken I can break it..... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzaas Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I know he said he can't mention dates or licenses BUT when do we get to use this?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1983ss454 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Looks great, I just hope it's not just an effects generator like xlights is all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocrash Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'd like to see a demo of combining Superstar effects with Nutcracker. I assume you'll just import SS into this new pixel editor and fill in the blank spaces with NC effects. It will be nice to see it all on the same preview. Open up your wallets - LOR isn't giving this away for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If LOR does not move to a 64 bit software I am saving my money. The loading and saving is killing me at this point. Installing a new channel config is a killer to. All the tools are great but if the main software cant run what good will it be. This is my 8th year with LOR and I plan on staying with them. Due to file size I may have to play this years show in xlights unless LOR has something better then I will spend a few bucks. We have seen a small taste of what is coming out so is it much to ask for an update from LOR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If you want to complain about the lack of communication, I would suggest filling out a help desk ticket.While I don't work for LOR I can say that is the most effective way of reaching them. Cluttering up another thread isn't going to solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougd Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Well I am looking forward to anything new to try out. No sense in speculating when, where, what or how much. I will carry on building props and hopefully we will see something definitive soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Messer Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Agree with the admin on clutter on the post. We are on topic of a sneak peek of the update so all stated does fit the topic by the OP. Lack of communications and help desk ticket? Would that get an answer? I have plenty of time to wait and keep building props like dougd stated. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfing4Dough Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Pretty sad when a LOR Forum Administrator (whether paid or not...though he is a LOR Partner) considers paying customers' discussion about the company's future software release "clutter", in a thread that is about that topic no less (in the LOR Software section of the LOR forum). His post is the one that stands out like a sore thumb in my opinion. Not sure where in this post he felt there was "complaining about the lack of communication" anyway. Well, I guess the fact that he considers that lack of communication from the company a "problem" is a start though. So who gave this sneak peak presentation at the Austin mini? (John, too bad you didn't have one of these.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robo Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I believe the post that was considered "clutter" was removed by Admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Burton Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks for the video. Got a little sea sick watching it after a while ;-)The interface looks interesting. Glad that it is similar to the LOR3 interface. Learning curve hopefully won't be as steep. It really would be nice to find out about the licensing. That way I can plan out my budget (which is limited) for the upcoming season.Again very excited about this announcement :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen a small taste of what is coming out so is it much to ask for an update from LOR? We will be releasing a beta next month. This is absolute, 100%.... We will start releasing information about the new software on Tuesday March 3rd. (or today...) I will say now, that there is a new method for storing "pixel" type data that is created in the new Pixel Editor(always) and in Super Star(optionally). With this scheme, the time to load a sequence is very small and has nothing to do with 32bits or 64bits but rather it is due to design. In the old design when loading a sequence, the entire sequence was loaded before play started. With the new scheme data is read as needed and only the data necessary to play "now" and in the near future is kept in memory so sequence size has a minimal affect on the time it takes to start playing. As well, the time to load/save a sequence with one of the editors is reduced because only high level commands are loaded and saved. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed26105 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Dan, thank you for the update.
