VūOS and Virtual Studio Release May 8, 2024

Dear Vū User,

We have been hard at work on some exciting changes to Virtual Studio, SceneForge and Vū OS, and those updates are headed your way!  

The upcoming planned maintenance window is scheduled for the morning of May 8, 2024. 

There should be no interruption in service. The only thing you should notice is that systems installed locally, i.e., VūOS and SceneForge, should automatically detect that an update is available and prompt to install it.  At that point, the update can be installed immediately or deferred to be installed later.

Highlights of the Release Include

• SceneForge:
  • You can now manually set fractional angles for LED Walls
  • You can now set the scale of LED Content identically to Vu One.

***IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT VūOS***

If you are currently using a VūOS version that ends in something other than “-P”, you need to update to the Production version. All customers are encouraged to use the Production version to be assured they are using the most current stable version. To make the switch, you will need to update your VūOS software using our manual update method. 

If you run into any issues or have any questions, now or in the future, please contact us for help.
