# Introduction

With the release of Unreal 5.1, a number of changes were made to the Media Framework plugin provided by Epic.  These updates have slightly changed the steps required when setting up a project using the Ncam workflow wizard.

The changes between 5.0 and 5.1 are described here

# Workflow Wizard

The workflow wizard is largely the same as in previous versions, the "timecode format" has been removed however

# Media Profile

The updates made to 5.1 require the manual setting of:

- Framerate
- Timecode format
- Video input device

After creating a media profile using the wizard, it is important that all of these settings are manually checked/updated in the created profile

The images below show the **input**, **output**, **timecode **and **genlock **settings that need manually setting

It is very important that the correct settings are used throughout the profile, otherwise issues with video I/O and synchronization will occur

**"Auto" with Blackmagic devices**

In our testing we have found the Auto option inside the media profile fails to work correctly when using Blackmagic video devices, we recommend manually setting the correct settings instead

# Lens component

Although not directly related to the Ncam Unreal plugin, Epic have added a "lens" component to cine cameras that are required to distort them.  Previously this was all done inside the Live Link Controller.

When working with Cine Cameras in composure, make sure to add a Lens component alongside the live link controller, and ensure it is configured to receive lens data from a livelink source
