With this release of ArcGIS Excalibur, there are several new advancements to certain workflows such as publishing imagery and video layers, imagery analysis, and video layer management. These updates include additional configuration options when publishing imagery layers, a new Raster Template tool, a Job Status panel when running imagery analysis tools, adding data sources from a data store when publishing video layers, new configuration options on the Time Slider tab, and more, which are described as follows:
- The new Raster Template tool allows you to select and run Raster Function templates, which are combinations of raster functions that are used to create a specific visualization or analysis that can be repeated.
- The Job Status panel shows the progress of long-running processes, such as when a raster analysis tool is run as NDVI or Compute Change and provides information when a process completes or fails, and also allows you to add the result layer from these processes to a map.
- The Time Slider function has been updated to work with time-enabled imagery layers, map image layers, and feature layers. Additional configuration options have been added as well to change settings such as the playback position, play rate, and more.
- Additional configuration options have been added to the imagery publishing workflow, including raster types, source types, resampling types, and other processing options.
- In the Layer Item Details page for a video layer, item owners can now edit specific settings on the layer item such as the video poster, turn the livestream controls on and off, and convert livestream videos to on-demand videos.
- You can now add a data source whenpublishing video layers from a data store that is registered to ArcGIS Video Server. This is only supported on ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0 and later and is not available in ArcGIS Online.
- Additional protocols have been added when publishing livestream video layers. This is only supported on ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0 and later and is not available in ArcGIS Online.
- The ArcGIS Video Server setting in the app-level configuration settings have been extended to allow administrators to update elevation source information, define default ports, and enable and disable certain livestream protocols. This is only supported on ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0 and later, and is not available in ArcGIS Online.
