HyperHDR 21.0.0.0

What's new in 21.0.0.0

I am pleased to announce the latest release of HyperHDR v21, which concludes the year-long development and testing cycle of the application:
- The architecture has been rebuilt once again, this time focusing on further eliminating heavy dependencies from the past. In addition to lower resource consumption, you will definitely notice how much the installers have been slimmed down (they still contain all the necessary dependent components) and the HyperHDR application itself. Our Github CI also supports now lightning-fast builds thanks to use of native Github Action ARM64 runners.
- The DirectX grabber has been expanded with a multi-monitor mode that also includes re-order displays ability. You no longer have to use external applications to capture a second or third monitor. Do you still use them? So please make sure they provide full acceleration support by the graphics card as HyperHDR does including using pixel & vertex shaders to scale the textures before sending them from the graphics card memory to the computer so as not to block communication resources which can cause for example: performance drops in games. It is also the cheapest and most effective alternative to HDMI grabbers and splitters on Windows x64 platforms such as multimedia miniPCs with N100. All you need for such setups is USB LED driver like Pico with HyperSerialPico.

- Implemented support for Home Assistant lights ( https://github.com/awawa-dev/HyperHDR/wiki/Home-Assistant-lights ) and experimental direct support for zigbee2mqtt ( https://github.com/awawa-dev/HyperHDR/wiki/Zigbee2MQTT-lights )
- HyperHDR has been officially included in the LibreELEC distribution! ( LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv#9761 )
- Another new feature that I think will be useful for many people is automatic tone mapping. In case you can't control it from outside via the application's API this is the solution for you. Once enabled HyperHDR will analyze the video image and enable it automatically for dark and faded raw HDR signal and disable it when it detects bright SDR image with normal colors.

- In the past, the process of calibrating the grabber's LUT to obtain the best possible colors was quite problematic: to do it, it usually required a PC set. …
