Software Update
We strongly advise updating all devices to the latest build across all platforms.
macOS Monterey Support ending soon
We will be removing formal support for macOS Monterey soon. Any users continuing to use this operating system may see issues with versions of Focus released after this.
Streamline Sharing & Group Management
Changes have been made to how Groups and Sharing works to improve usability and stability:
- All users in a Group can Share, Create and see all Historical content
- Users are no longer required to be part of a Group to share content
- New User Groups created in Hub 6.3 will not be available in previous versions of Hub/MatchTracker/Focus. Make sure to update all software
Presentations Improvements
- New Ice Hockey Tactics Board
- Reduced number of automatic perspective keyframes shown, and added ability to manually adjust the automated results. Also, users will be/are prompted to re-run calibration if the clip gets extended.
- Implemented a smaller upload progress dialog for Presentations
- New presentations will now trigger version warning popups in the future
Other Improvements
- Implemented the Catapult colour picker
- Added a Diagnose Connection button to the Server connection screen allowing to analyse network conditions and troubleshoot issues
- Added a 'Tag Count per timeline row/tag type' column option to the List View Column Manager
- Hub sync queue now responds more efficiently when uploading changes to the Hub
- Improved playback of HTTP (e.g. Hub shared) video
- Improved opening speed of Hub sessions
Bug Fixes

- Fixed: Could not close app with unsaved changes on a presentation from newer software version
- Fixed: Focus crashing in some cases while adding clips to a Server Presentation
- Fixed: Potential crash when cancelling a Hub upload
- Fixed: Black screen with no UI feedback for an extended period when loading Hub sessions on very slow networks
- Fixed: Focus channel length not matching original media file when restreaming certain types of IP feeds using HLS
- Fixed: Unmuted Buffered Playback (e.g. in Hub) stuttering when media had portions of audio missing
- Fixed: Improved video playback, loading and seeking performance, particularly when using streamed media
- Fixed: Improved cleanup of network connections for video caching after video chunk has been downloaded
- Fixed: Stability of HLS live playback when encountering some latency
- Fixed: Playback of Focus Server re-streamed HLS after changing server connections
- Fixed: Invalid Session Type error when attempting to start a live session using a custom Session Type
- Fixed: The number of channels would always show 0 for Hub sessions in the Review Sessions dialog
- Fixed: Focus would report an incorrect channel count for sessions that included channels composed of multiple video files
- Fixed: In some scenarios, selecting tags by clicking on Tag Template Outputs and subsequently performing actions could only apply to the tags in current session rather than all of the tags selected from the output
- Fixed: Adding a new label shortly after adding an XY point would result in XY data not being saved in the tag
- Fixed: Post-roll defined in the Tag Template Designer was not getting applied to manual tags. Please note this means that manual tags in existing templates might behave differently after updating to this version of Focus
- Fixed: Post-roll time would always get adjusted to match the pre-roll time when adjusted via the Properties panel in the Tag Template Designer
