New Prices for our playout applications
OnTheAir Video Express, OnTheAir Video and OnTheAir Node now come with new prices.
OnTheAir Video 3 is now priced at $ 2.795 / € 1.995. HD, logo and schedule options are now built-in for that price!
OnTheAir Node 3 (available soon) is now priced at $ 3.495 / € 2.495. HD and logo options are now built-in for that price!
As the software completely evolved with new features such as the Dynamic Graphics overlay, and streaming, and because for example, HD options were standard nowadays, we changed our price structure to make it easier to read and understand. Features that were once optional (HD, logo, schedule) are now built-in in the standard licenses.
OnTheAir Video Express 3 is now priced at $ 995 / € 695.
It now uses the same Smart Playout Engine as OnTheAir Video and OnTheAir Node, but without the Dynamic Graphics Overlay, nor smart resize or streaming option. It is a completely new version, that is now 64 bit, with seamless playback and support for many codecs and support for Avid DNxHD® and MXF, playlist can also now be edited when playing out, and many more nice features. To bring all those nice features and be future proof (Apple is phasing out of the QuickTime APIs) we could not use the good old QuickTime API anymore, and use more functions more complex to develop and maintain, and this is the reason why we could not keep the same price for version 3, not because we wanted to.
Note that the new price is have taken effect now, even for current versions. For more information on prices, options and upgrades, check our online store.
Find the UPGRADE that’s right for you !
If you already own a license and want to upgrade, check the Smart Playout Engine upgrade program page to easily find the upgrade for you ! Just select the product you have and which one you want to get.
