SCANNY

1.1.0 beta 29

1.1.0 beta 29ProofDATE14 OCT 2026CHANGES06BETA

AJA ColorBox check: one press reads every box, gives a verdict with the numbers behind it, and exports evidence an engineer can check.

SAFETY 01

  • Reads only, one reversible exception

    The only thing Scanny changes on a box is the web preview's INPUT / OUTPUT button, to grab the post-LUT picture: only on boxes that report as ColorBoxes, only after re-reading, confirmed before the picture is trusted, and always put back and read back. READ ONLY in Settings turns even that off.

NEW 03

  • ColorBox check: one press, every box

    Network › COLORBOX reads every AJA ColorBox in parallel through the box's own API: input lock and format, output, bypass, Frame Store, overlay, safeboot, pipeline and 3D LUT, firmware, and the box's own picture before and after the LUT with a luma waveform. A 60-second lock check catches dead or flapping links. Each box gets a verdict with the numbers behind it: NO INPUT, UNSTABLE INPUT, BLACK INPUT, FLAT INPUT, PASSING, PASSING · NO LUT, or BOX OUTPUT BLACK — the only one that blames the box, and it names the box setting when one explains the black.

  • Which camera feeds each box

    Scanny reads the ALEXA metadata riding in each box's input (model, software, clip, lens) and matches it to the camera it already knows. Packets marked for deletion show when a feed passed through another processor first.

    ALEXA

  • EXPORT EVIDENCE

    One press writes a timestamped folder with a PDF report, summary and lock-poll CSVs, every box's raw API answers, the pictures and waveforms. The report states how each verdict is decided and only claims what was read: anything a check could not read says not read.

IMPROVED 02

  • A dark log scene is not a box fault

    When a LUT turns a dark scene almost black but highlights still reach the top, the verdict says PASSING · LUT crushes a dark scene, with the highlight level, so nobody mistakes it for a blocked signal.

  • HELPER knows the ColorBox

    The HELPER library gains an AJA ColorBox section: the chain, the connectors and LEDs, bypass, Frame Store, LUTs and Livegrade, and how to tell whose black it is.
