Asset Cataloging

Legion provides the user with two different types of controls to work from. One is a an array of what we call thumb panels. The other is a more conventional data table. You are free to work from either. You can easily adjust just how much of each you want visible. Both provides the same level of control, so it is up to you as to which you prefer using.

Asset Properties

Each playlist asset is affored a number of its own custom properties:

Mix & Match Asset Video & Audio Sources

Ability to mix and match visual and audio sources of a single asset. You can think of a playlist asset more like a preset where multiple sources can be combined and played as one.

Additional Features

  • Custom Pixel Spaces: By default, the program pixel space conforms directly with the dimensions of the assigned output display, but you can also choose to extend that space and span across multiple displays.
  • In-Sync Backup: Legion offers the easiest setup of a backup unit yet. Just have both computers share the same network assign one as the primary and other as the backup. Open each, click on one button, and now anything performed on the primary will be mimicked on the backup as well. This includes even the automatic transfer of media files from one machine to the other.
  • Remote Command Listener: Open its UDP packet listener and Legion conforms perfectly with our AVP Connectionless Protocol enabling operation via any third-party device that can transmit custom ethernet command strings.
  • Companion Compatible: Take advantage of the Elgato Stream Deck to remotely control any Legion playback product via the Bitfocus Companion host server. Just select the “IEW Solutions (aka ifelseWare) AV-Playback” module under “Add connection”.
  • HyperDeck Emulation: Connect seamlessly with any Blackmagic ATEM switcher. When on the same network as the ATEM, you can than go into the switcher’s HyperDeck control panel, assign AVP’s IP address and the switcher will see it as if it were another available HyperDeck.
  • LTC Timecode Generator: Built-in LTC timecode signal generator that can easily be assigned to output on any available audio port. This makes it very easy to distribute it to other devices that need to sync with program media.
  • AVP Timecode Display: This convenient executable can be easily copied onto any computer, without the need for any invasive installation or license. The application, when active on a computer that is currently connected to the same network, will display position data from any enabled AVP node. This position data reflects the current running time of whatever is playing out to program.

New for Legion II v2.6:  

It has been well over a year since there has been any revision of Legion II. It’s a testament to just how stable Legion has been for hundreds of users worldwide. So, some very careful planning along with extensive testing went into the adding of these new features.

Asset Cloning:

Clones are a convenient and efficient way to display a single asset in multiple locations at the same time, all while being in perfect sync. This is a true re-painting of the host asset’s rendered frame onto another location within the same pixel space. It is efficient because only one iteration of the file is actually being played.

Snap Regions:

In situations where Legion is being used as a full “media server” and serving multiple screens, you would setup one large pixel space that spans multiple outputs. Visuals would then be oriented to only appear within certain areas, such as a region that supports a single screen. Now you can select which screen that geometry snaps are confined to. Lessing the need to have to manually do the math yourself. Like, let’s say, centering an element within single screen.    

Display Multiple Backgrounds:

Added the ability to run multiple background sources at the same time as long they are positioned within their own separate output region. The setup for backgrounds also includes the selection output channels.

Expanded Stream Deck Utilities:

1) Updated driver to support newer rev 2 consoles

2) Support for simultaneous use of multiple consoles.

3) Added hot-swapable capability. Now consoles can be unplugged and reconnected without the app freezing or crashing. This is important in a Primary/Backup scenario where if the primary unit is lost, consoles can be disconnected then reconnected to the backup unit without needing to stop program play and/or restarting the app.

Improved Asset Edit Selection:

In situations where overlaying assets are associated with a primary, their thumbnail will appear correctly within the preview window as well as the primary’s thumb panel. Also, when a primary asset is taken to preview a representation of the overlays will also appear. The problem was that it could be confusing to know how to select an overlaying asset so you can edit things like its
