- Custom Calibrations are now assignable to Color Pipe 8
- Image Captures should no longer save corrupted frames

- Image captures should now be scaled correctly on 720p monitors
- Calman Integration: Resolved issues setting the monitor's white and black levels

SDI
- Color Picker does not work when the Crop & Scale Tool is used. This bug is not specific to any monitor Recommended Practices
- Connect external recorders directly downstream of your source device (i.e. camera), not downstream of the monitor
