OnTheAir Video 4 and OnTheAir Video Express 4 - Pre-release version available for download

New Versions, OnTheAir Video, OnTheAir Video Express, Release, Release Notes
OnTheAir Video 4 is now available for everyone to download as a pre-release version. It is probably one of our biggest releases ever with a host of new features to enhance both the user experience and the performance. As an example, we are adding CG projets directly into OnTheAir Video through the “Dynamic Graphics Overlay” option.
 
Our development team probably got too excited about this release and decided to add even more exciting new features like a powerful HTTP/REST API, new playback behaviours and many other things. This is why  our release date has slipped "a bit". But, every new license purchased includes a free upgrade to version 4, and there are already TV channels that are using the pre-release version for their production and broadcast, so if you need the best playout software you can already order it now. You won’t need to purchase anything when the final version is released, and, as always, you will enjoy our free support and update.
 
There are many new features with OnTheAir Video 4. Too many to be listed all here. The best is that you download and try it out, but here are a few that we wanted to highlight:
  1. Dynamic graphics overlay: OnTheAir Video now comes with a built-in Character Generator. Add animated logos, tickers, lower third very easily in your playlist.
  2. Transitions: Use either built-in transitions such as cross-fades, or custom transitions (made with your own movies with an Alpha Channel) to add more dynamics to your playout
  3. On screen video and audio preview. Preview directly on your computer screen what you are playing out.
  4. Secondary Audio Output: Additionally to the video output on the selected video device, you can now also output to another available audio output on your Mac. Works with CoreAudio, so supports the audio devices that are available for macOS (including Dante or MADI).
  5. Streaming input: Supports RTMP video input to play a web stream easily. Just add a "stream clip" to your playlist, enter the RTMP url and start playing it back.
  6. Improved for 24/7 playout stations: We have improved the built-in scheduler of OnTheAir Video for easy broadcast scheduling. But we also have added features to be used by major broadcasters, such as a new integration with Wide Orbit Traffic software for advanced master control operation. OnTheAir Video can now be used as a playout automation solution with features that were until now available only with expensive solutions.
  7. Improved for Live shows:  With audio countdown announcements, get a voice telling you automatically when the remaining time is 30, 20, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2. No need to have someone look at the remaining time.
  8. And many more improvements: such as Automatic Folder-based Playlist, shuffle playback, Comments, new REST API to control OnTheAir Video remotely, simply from a web page, etc...

As you may have heard, Belgium will be under lock-down starting Wednesday 18 March, 2020.
 
We wanted to let you know that we are all safe and well, even if movements are restricted. Our thoughts are with all the persons that have been impacted by this situation.
 
On our side, as software manufacturer, we are lucky that a lot of the work can be done at home. Most of the support, engineering and sales team are now working safely at home (even the employees in the US office), and you can continue to contact us normally.
 
If you need to place orders, our online store remains open during the lock-down. So you can place your order as usual. For orders that require shipments (Dongles, M|Family,...), this is handled by a small team, and strict hygiene measures are taken to avoid any contamination.  
 
For support, we also have as usual our support desk that you can use, we continue to answer with approximately the same response time. 
 
And of course our engineers continue to work on the new features and improvements of the software you love.
 
In any case, stay safe, we'll get through this stronger than before!
