The third maintenance update for LightWave 3D 2019, Rev 2019.0.3, is now available for download in Registration. The new version enhances the LightWave Bridge to Unreal Engine via Batch-sending of meshes for potentially higher performance in scenes with many smaller objects; as well as several fixes.

New low-profile variant of the DeckLink Duo 2 PCIe capture and playback card with 4 independent channels for SD and HD up to 1080p60. The card has a smaller footprint with miniature BNC connectors for low-profile server PCs.

This software update adds support for the new Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 camera and the latest Blackmagic RAW SDK 1.3. In addition, this update improves support for audio metadata when exporting AAF files, adds high frame rate timecode support for EXR clips, and improves both AAC audio and Wacom tablet responsiveness on Windows systems.

This software update adds new long form recording features to Blackmagic Duplicator 4K. In addition to standard duplication mode, Blackmagic Duplicator 4K can now record in single disk mode and infinite overwrite mode. The new single disk mode sequentially writes to each SD card, one at a time. As one card is filled, recording automatically continues onto the next card. When all available media is full, recording stops. The new infinite overwrite mode writes sequentially to a set of cards and then loops back, overwriting the oldest card and starting again.

Improved efficiency for both H.264 and H.265 codecs
