Telestream Retiring Support for Wirecast 3,4 and 5
By Jim Bask
With the ending of support for Wirecast 5 and older it is an excellent opportunity for dealers to reach out and talk to existing Wirecast owners about their options. Telestream offers a simple one price upgrade for all owners of Wirescast 6 or older.
On August 31, 2016, we are officially retiring legacy versions of Wirecast. This includes Wirecast versions 3, 4 and 5. You may continue to use your permanent licenses for legacy versions, but you will no longer qualify for customer support which includes technical inquiries, licensing issues, and compatibility questions. Moving forward we will be supporting Wirecast 6 and 7 as well as the latest operating systems, Windows 7, 8, 10, and Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite and 10.11 El Capitan.
Here are just a few of the things you’ll get with Wirecast 7:
- Faster performance – Take advantage of powerful, cost-efficient hardware encoding capabilities for better performance and less CPU utilization.
- ISO recording (Pro) – Create high-resolution recordings of your individual cameras or audio sources. Isolate clean shots that can be used later for editing offline or for live replay.
- Hotkey Manager – With our new Global Hotkey Management System, you can now create your own hotkeys for switching, replay or any repetitive task in Wirecast.
- New ways to configure Text – Add text to your broadcast from a variety of sources: typed in text, from a file, or from an RSS feed.
- Video Sync – Delay the video and/or audio of an incoming source to better sync. Save thousands of dollars on expensive hardware.
- Color Correction – Adjust the brightness, contrast, gamma, hue and saturation for all of your video and graphic sources.
- 3D Animated Titles – Create beautiful, animated 3D titles and graphics with Titler Live Express (a $99 value), now free with Wirecast 7. Choose from over 60 professionally-designed main title and lower third templates then customize the color, font and image to fit your needs.
- And so much more including: redesigned screen capture, system audio capture, solid color background source, and an audio mixer for greater control over all your audio sources!
