What’s New in Wirecast

Wirecast 9 is the latest version of Telestream’s award-winning live streaming and production software for Mac or Windows. It is available to anyone who owns Wirecast 8 as a free upgrade if they have a current support subscription (purchased Wirecast 8 in the last twelve months), or as paid upgrade to older versions of Wirecast (version 7 or earlier). It comes with a number of notable new features, updates and improvements, including improved rendering and UI performance, a redesigned user interface with a new “dark” theme, a new way of managing your sources, a faster more convenient way to stream to Facebook pages, and it launches with a brand new custom controller from X-keys, available at most major resellers.

PTZ Control (Pro) Remotely control cameras with built-in pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) features directly within Wirecast Pro using the new PTZ Controller window. Works with cameras that support VISCA over IP control, like PTZOptics cameras. For the latest information on supported PTZ cameras, visit our devices page.	X-keys for Wirecast Pick up your brand-new X-keys control surface for Wirecast. Custom designed buttons allow faster, tactile operation of Wirecast while switching and producing your live shows. Compatible with USB on Mac or Windows. Learn more.	Paired Encoder for Facebook Select Wirecast as the paired encoder for Facebook pages and accounts. This allows live streams to any managed pages without having to share your credentials, assign a page role, or grant admin privileges. Just give them a user code and you’re done. Perfect for pages with multiple contributors or cross-promotional streaming.

New Add Source Menu From cameras to capture cards to IP streams and media files, Wirecast works with many different sources. Now adding, managing and finding your sources in Wirecast has been redesigned to support categorization, favoriting, searching, as well as a new right-click quick-access menu.	Facebook Live Comments Use the included Titler Live Express (free with Wirecast) to curate and display Facebook comments and posts directly on screen in beautiful, custom-animated templates.	Local Wi-Fi Camera It’s back! Add unlimited iOS camera sources on your Local Area Network (LAN) using Wirecast Go’s free local camera feature. No need to use Rendezvous for local sources any longer.

NewBlue Titler Live Create beautful 3D animated titles and graphics, and choose from hundreds of templates or build your own. Comes in 4 different versions: Present, Sport, Social and Complete.	Multi-channel Audio Ingest Now you can bring in up to 16 channels of audio per source. Avoid unnecessary upstream mixing and get the sound you want in Wirecast. Support for ASIO and WASAPI compatible devices added.	New Rendezvous UI We’ve redesigned the web console for your Rendezvous guests to be simpler and easier to use. Guests can choose from tiled view or full screen view while participating in the call, and switch their audio/video devices at the top of the console.
