MovieRecorder 4.0 and MovieRecorder Express 4.0 are now out of beta. Enjoy!

Ten years after the release of the first version of MovieRecorder, we are bringing another major (r)evolution to ingest solutions with MovieRecorder 4 and MovieRecorder Express 4. We will be showing MovieRecorder 4 at IBC2017, stand 7.G12, so come by and see for yourself.

NEW in MovieRecorder 4:

• Fully configurable user interface 
• NDI® sources
• External audio sources
• Effects and overlays
• HEVC (H.265) support
• Save and restore configurations

MovieRecorder Express 4 is an entry-level version of MovieRecorder. It uses the same reliable recording engine and beautiful user interface as MovieRecorder 4, with the same outstanding features such as edit-while-ingest, NDI® sources, scheduling, remote control,...  But it limits some of the available features to make it even more affordable for everyone.

MovieRecorder 4 and MovieRecorder Express 4 will be available for purchase on October 1st, 2017. Contact us if you are interested in being part of the beta program when it's available.

NDI™ is exciting, right? It's even better on the Mac! Softron is adding to the excitement by implementing NDI™ in all of our playout applications. Now, thanks to NDI™, you can transfer HD and 4K video over a simple ethernet cable. No need for routers or even SDI cables anymore. All this while preserving the ease-of-use and reliability of our products. 

What's new in OnTheAir Node 3.5?

• NEW: Support for NDI output
• IMPROVED: <strong>Important behaviour change </strong>when reaching the end of the last clip in an event, instead of looping back to the beginning of the event, OnTheAir Node will stay on "hold last frame" of the clip.
• IMPROVED: When a clip is paused, and user does a "skip to next", the playback starts again on the next clip (useful for Live events that were set to pause and that ends)
• FIXED: Some "growing files" could remain opened even after they have been closed.
