Hello All,

Currently I have three SD DekoCast's (v.3.6.6) and we are looking to purchase the new v4.1 HD version. I was wondering if there was any changes to the RocketEngineBCI or API interfaces with the new v4.1 from v3.6.

All that is on the KB site is the info for v3.6.

Thanks!

 Hello,

Per Avid support, the biggest change is that the scene name extension changes from .dkc to .dkx and the BCI cannot open a .dkc. So when using BCI, you MUST convert your .dkc files to .dkx. To do that, you should open the existing scene and save a new version in the new extension. Currently, there is not batch convert ability for this. 

Other than that, there does not appear to be additional issues with API/BCI programs.

Though it may go w/out saying, the move from SD to HD will also require some preparation of graphic elements including images and clips to the new format. But I presume you're aware of those considerations.

Thanks and good luck.

Hello Teicia,

Thanks for the FYI on that. I was aware of the other considerations and have accounted for them. Since I didn't see any documentation on anything for the BCI or API for the new version of DekoCast and just wanted to make sure that nothing had changed or had been forgotten to be posted on the Avid KB.

Thanks again for the info!
