This is an older release. The current version is always at releases/latest.

Sources

  • Fixed an issue where SRT cues played without sound. Picture and audio now
    use one connection and play together at the feed's incoming size. Channels
    imported from .m3u playlists also carry audio.
  • New: Swirl pattern, after Pocket Test in the pattern picker. A slow spiral
    of melting pixel greens with a yellow crest, matching Deckboy's trailer,
    for holding screens or backgrounds behind lower thirds.
  • Source commands accept full names with or without quotes:
    NDICUE "WINDY (Graphics PC)" and NDICUE WINDY (Graphics PC) both find
    the sender. This applies to every source verb that takes a name.

Cues

  • Fixed an issue where CONTINUE FOLLOW set to from end did not take
    the next cue when the current cue held its last frame. Hold remains the
    default.
  • Fixed an issue where the desk stuttered when a MIDI file cue's
    port was held by another program. Deckboy retries every couple of seconds
    and opens the port when it becomes free.

Remote protocol

  • STATUS adds audio_level= for each deck: 0-100 on the VU scale.

Outputs

  • New: GRID in the warp toolbar, with 3x3 to 9x9 points. Drag points
    to map curved surfaces with smooth interpolation or folded surfaces with
    straight lines. Grid warp applies on top of the existing corner pin.
  • Remote: WARP GRID <n>, WARP GRID SMOOTH|STRAIGHT,
    WARP POINT <col> <row> <dx> <dy>.
  • The programme monitor's WARP button is sized for every interface scale.
    Settings > Video Outputs > Geometry adds a WARP section that opens the
    editor.
  • The warp editor identifies whether it is editing the whole programme on
    an output or one layer's corner pin.

Control surfaces

Surface File How
Stream Deck Deckboy-1.0.0.streamDeckPlugin Double-click it.
Bitfocus Companion Deckboy-companion-module-1.0.2.zip Unzip it somewhere permanent, then point Companion's developer modules path at the folder containing it. INSTALL.txt inside has the three steps.

First run

Deckboy is free software and is not code-signed, so the OS does not recognise the publisher. One time only:

  • macOS — if it says the app is damaged: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Deckboy.app
  • Windows — SmartScreen may appear: More info → Run anyway

Deckboy is free, open-source cue-based media playback and show control for live video — clips, slides and live sources on one cue list, out to a screen, NDI, SRT or Blackmagic SDI, with a stream and a recording running at the same time and presenter view on its own display, driven from a Stream Deck, Bitfocus Companion, OSC, MIDI or LTC timecode.
