At IBC 2019, Softron has announced new hardware bundles which have now been divided into the S|Family (software-only) and the M|Family (software + hardware).

All the S|Family bundles contain a dongle (non-splittable) and include shipping.
 
The M|Family bundles all contain a single card type: the Deltacast 12G/2C which can either input or output 2 channels in 6G/12G or 8 channels in 3G. So all connectors are reversible and can be used as an input or output. There is also an LTC or Genlock input. It can be used as LTC for ingest applications and as Genlock for professional playback.
 
The bundles do contain 9 adapters from Mini BNC to regular BNC (these are different adapters from the current ones).
 
The new bundles are now divided into the “e” version which stands for “external” and contains the Thunderbolt 3 Sonnet SEL chassis (small one) while the “i” version (“i” for “internal”) does not contain the chassis, but only the card and dongle. The 'i' models are ideal for the new Mac Pro, or if you already have a Thunderbolt expansion chassis.
 
For users who have purchased a S|XX bundle or already have existing licenses, it is possible to buy only the Deltacast card and the 9 Mini BNC adapters as part number 3.AMHW.
 
A new bundle has also been introduced in both software-only version (S|80R) and with the PCI card (M|80Ri/e). It contains both 8 licenses of M|Replay and MovieRecorder on the same dongle. It is recommended in applications where the same hardware setup should be used for instant replay or ingest.
 
All models are available for purchase now.

We are happy to say that we have been working on macOS High Sierra since a while and there is no known issue with the latest versions of our applications. If you want to upgrade, we recommend as usual to have a backup readily available so you can revert back just in case the upgrade does not go as smoothly as it has been for us. If you do so, and you are using a serial number, remember to deactivate your serial number before booting from a backup hard drive.

If you are using a dongle, make sure to update your Softron application to the latest version available from the downloads page (the ones released after September 10th, 2017) to ensure that your dongle license will be seen.

M-Replay, New Applications, Release Notes

Softron Media Services has released the first instant video replay solution on the Mac. M|Replay, that’s its name, can record multiple HD channels on one Mac, and instantly replay all channels synchronised to review the important moments. M|Replay is ideal either as a replay server for video production or for example as an adjudication system for referees.

Thanks to its intuitive user interface, the M|Replay application will allow you to instantly replay all the cameras at once to review important moments, and select one camera to view in full screen if needed; while still continuing to record all channels. You can add markers and create clips to be played back immediately or exported at a later time.

M|Replay can be controlled either on screen, with keyboard shortcuts, or with some dedicated hardware controllers, so all the controls are at the touch of a finger.
