Due to the global chip shortage we are unfortunately not able to supply the M|xx bundles anymore. We will continue to support existing customers, including with the Apple Silicon compatibility, but we will not be able to sell new bundles. Of course, our software-only bundles (S|xx) remain available and can still be used with any supported Blackmagic, Deltacast or AJA interface.

On January 1st, 2018, we will stop selling upgrades from our "old" playback applications to the latest and greatest versions.

Versions impacted by the change:

• OnTheAir CG 1.x
• OnTheAir Node 1.x
• OnTheAir Video Express 1.x
• OnTheAir Video 1.x
• OnTheAir Video 2.x

If you still own one of the licenses above and did not upgrade yet, it is the best time to do it. After January 1st, 2018, you will have to purchase a full license if you want to upgrade.

So don't wait any longer. Our latest playout applications (now all in version 3) offer great new features and improvments. 

Contact us if you want more info on the upgrade.

This is a minor release, but with a major change: it now comes with an installer. Because of Gatekeeper we had to provide an installer.

BE AWARE that the OnTheAir CG will be installed in a folder named "OnTheAir CG", so you will have to delete the previous versions that were in folder named "OnTheAir CG 3". Make sure you also remove them from the dock so you actually start with the new version.

A few good news: There are some sample projects and html pages provided so you can actually get started with the wonders of the REST API. Get a web developer working on this to see all you can do with that. Contact us for more info if needed.
