Composer R1 2026 released
Composer R1 2026 “Daytona” brings professional broadcast audio processing, full SRT input and output support, and over 20 new GPU-accelerated video operators to Composer.
The release includes a complete integrated audio mixer with 8-channel routing, mix-minus submixes, EBU R128 loudness metering, and a full suite of dynamics processing, all controllable via the WebSocket API. SRT support covers both Listener and Caller modes with up to 16 channels of audio output and primary/backup path redundancy for reliable remote production.
New video operators span keying, compositing, image processing, and utility functions, including an HSV Keyer, Spill Suppression, Light Wrap, Gaussian Blur, and QR Code generation. The release also introduces Composite Layers, new target types, improved input management with search and filtering, autosave, and up to 10x faster HTML5 graphics rendering.
R1 2026 was proven at scale in Sveriges Television’s coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics, where Composer handled 25 SRT signals in a full remote production environment.
