### ZED Studio

* Introduced ZED Studio, a new tool for viewing and managing multiple cameras, streams and SVOs in one app. It supports customizable layouts with drag-and-drop panels, synchronized playback and recording, and group control of settings.

### ZED Calibration

* Fixed the `--cimud` command-line argument to handle all GMSL cameras.

### ZED Media Server

* ZED Media Server is now deprecated; use the new, more efficient Virtual Stereo API instead.
* Fixed the adaptive GOP size depending on the FPS of the cameras.
