Discontinuing OnTheAir Node, Manager, and Live — Introducing a Clearer, Stronger Future with OnTheAir Video
2025
Jun 18

We are officially discontinuing OnTheAir Node, OnTheAir Manager, and OnTheAir Live. These products have served our users faithfully for over 15 years, but they’ve now reached the end of their lifecycle. While we’ll continue to offer limited maintenance updates for a short transition period, active development on these apps ended several years ago, and they are no longer available for purchase.

But here’s the great news:
We’ve poured our efforts into building something better—OnTheAir Video is now our flagship playout solution. It not only incorporates the key features of the discontinued products, but also introduces significantly more powerful capabilities: native support for advanced effects, remote control options, squeeze back with supersources, and more.

This move also simplifies our product lineup. In the past, it wasn’t always clear which software best fit a given workflow—Master Control, Newsroom integration, or Live production. Now, the answer is simple: OnTheAir Video is the way to go, no matter the broadcast scenario.

Transition made easy:

  • If you own a license for OnTheAir Node 4, you’re entitled to a free crossgrade to OnTheAir Video 4.
  • If you own a license for OnTheAir Node 3, just purchase the upgrade from OnTheAir Video 3 to 4, indicate your Node license number in the comment field, and we’ll convert that to a crossgrade from Node 3 to Video 4.

We understand that transitions can raise questions, and we’re here to help. Our team is committed to ensuring a smooth shift to OnTheAir Video, and we’re confident it will deliver a more streamlined, powerful, and future-proof experience.

Thank you for your continued trust and support!
