TGabriel Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I would like to know what is going to be new for S3 this year? Is there going to a S4 coming out? Are we going to have 64 bit? Are we going to be able to handle thousand of RGB channesls?I'm sure other member have their question also.So lets start asking the questions early in the year.Maybe we will get an answer early in the year, but I'm not holding my breath.Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 [The following are my own personal opinions.]I've used Light-O-Rama for 8+ years now. Based on what I've seen the past 8 years, I would be stunned and amazed if S4 came out this year. I do find it odd we're already up to 3.9.2, so maybe the next versions are 3.10.x etc. Either way, I don't see S4 coming out.That said, I do think there will be some improvements to the software in regards to how it handles RGB elements. At least, I hope that's what they have planned. I've talked to other LOR Partners who want/need the software to improve in that respect. I can only hope that it is coming. It would be a welcome update to the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis p Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 don what id like to see is to have the ability to use a second computer to add to the screen size of the visualizer say main stage on the main computer with stage right or left on the second computer linked r by the network with both screens working at the same time i belive now you can only use local or remote one at the time or is there something im missing.

Shubb Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I agree on the RGB conrol with the software. Call it S3.99999 or S4 let's just hope it's in the works!!Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I believe there was some discussion of moving away from WMP. I would think that would be a great place to break from S3 to S4, making it easy to remember where that major change happened. It would also be a great place to break to S4 if it added 64 bit support. But I'll take every little improvement in ability to support large RGB pixel sequences that we can get.

scubado Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Even though I'm not ready for pixels yet, There is other software that is in the works for large pixel counts and 64bit. I just hope LOR remains on top of the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubado Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 You can already do multiple monitors for sequencing, the visualizer is a different animal to tame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis p Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 guys let me ex plane a little further i have m/s with limited vision.i use an hp windows 7 machine yes its 64 bit with 12 gig of ram monitor is a 25 inch vizio hd t.v. with a second hp 20 inch digital monitor i run the sequence editor on the vizio and the visualizer on the hp.my display has grown to the size its out grown the one stage limit what i would like to be able to do is run another 20 inch off of my lap top so i could "see both stages at the same time while running the sequence on the main machine some people can sequence in thier heads i can t but the rub comes in as you can only run the visualizer on the local machine or the remote machine not both at the same time if some body has or knows of a work around let me know thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think there was a thread on a UDP replicator, or UDP "multicaster" that would allow the visualizer to run multiple places. In this case "Multicaster" is a misnomer, as it just replicates unicast traffic to multiple unicast addresses, not a unicast stream. I never played with it, but I believe there were two or three threads about doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 All I will need is 64 bit support. Im adding more pixels and with the hardware out there Im convinced I wont go over the limitations the current software can output. As for the 64 bit, that is for the handling of the much larger file sizes some of us are seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGabriel Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 So Dan I like to hear from you, on what are LOR plans this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Boyd Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 With the channel count going up, and t purser may have been said in a different way, so I may be repeating what he said. I would like to be able to run the SE with 2 instances of the Visualizer running. One for regular LOR channels and then one for Pixels, be it the CC devices or non LOR pixels. I will actually have both types in my display from here on out. It would be nice to have the two running so we can keep everything in sync.

S3 will run on x86 (32 bit) or x64 (64 bit) Windows machines without a problem.We've had many customer run Light-O-Rama software under Windows 8 in the standard desktop mode and all worked fine. We have not officially certified the product with Windows 8, though. Has someone heard differently? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Yugo can run on the Autobon, but will not perform like a Lotus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidPeterson Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 There is a big difference, though not as bad as a Yugo A 32 bit app runs fine on a 64 bit OS, but there are memory limitations for that app running under a 64 bit OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 From what I understand it's not only the matter of 32 or 64 bit, it's how the processing is done in the background of the software Vixen and HLS don't have such large file sizes as LOR the software taking in account the same amout of channels used...so if we had smaller file sizes we wouldn't necessarly need 64 bit systems (although it would be nice....."we all feel the need for speed") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
