NEW SLM SOFTWARE VERSIONS

There are updated software versions available for the HOLOEYE SLM Pattern Generator, the SLM Slideshow Player and the SLM Display SDK. Updates are available trough our download website at https://customers.holoeye.com/downloads/. Please register if you do not yet have an account on our download website.

One of the main new features is the advanced device detection. On start-up a device detection dialog pops up which not only checks if a prober HOLOEYE SLM device is connected but also if all system settings are correct. You can directly solve issues with graphics card or systems settings using the device detection “configuration” dialog. Besides some minor bug fixes we made the following changes:

SLM Pattern Generator

  • Replaced device detection with a brand new one with better error handling.
  • Add check for a newer version to the help menu.
  • We now offer different versions for Ubuntu 16 and Ubuntu 18 to handle dependencies differences better.
  • New CGH Batch Conversion feature.
  • Tabs are now instead of individual windows, improving the overall user experience.
  • A general system information is now available in the help menu for easier support.
  • Added dedicated dialog to generate checkerboards to “Essential Optical Functions”.
  • Changed some keyboard shortcuts: Open image file Ctrl+O, Close All Tabs Ctrl+Shift+W, Close All SLM Tabs Ctrl+Shift+E.

SLM Slideshow Player

  • Replaced device detection with a brand new one with better error handling.
  • Added list of recently used folders when changing the signal folder on the “Files” screen.
  • High resolutions above 4K are now automatically registered with NVIDIA drivers so no user action is required anymore.
  • Added creating of crash dumps when the application terminates unexpectedly.
  • Add check for a newer version to the about screen, shown when clicking the HOLOEYE logo in the top left corner.
  • The taskbar now shows the SLM preview and controls on the application icon.
  • The playlists list is now automatically closed when moving the mouse downwards.

SLM Display SDK

  • Replaced device detection with a brand new one with better error handling.
  • High resolutions above 4K are now automatically registered with NVIDIA drivers so no user action is required anymore.
  • Added creating of crash dumps when the SDK process terminates unexpectedly.
  • Add check for a newer version to the help menu.
  • Added slideshow examples based on image files.
  • Renamed slideshow_simple example to slideshow_data_show.
  • Renamed slideshow_precalculate example to slideshow_data_preload.
  • Added code for dynamic loading of the SDK DLL.
  • The preview window is now in real-time and affects performance much less.
