Release of Bazeport IPTV - version 8.3
We are proud to release a new version of BazePort IPTV. Version 8.3 includes a brand-new announcement tool, new functionality for planning and preparation of content, as well as a new EPG service and a few other treats.
BazePort AVOD
A brand-new powerful announcement tool, known as AVOD is one of the highlights in the 8.3 version of BazePort. A helpful tool when you want to reach out to your guests, crew or colleagues with important information.
The AVOD functionality enable you to force playback of short announcement before playback of on demand content. These short announcements can be any asset available in your Media Asset library. Automate playback of one or more announcements and target where and when to display.
Preview of Info Channels
Want to see how your Info channel is presented to your audience? Play it from within the Info channel editor using the new preview functionality.
In combination with the draft version functionality, the preview function is an excellent tool for preparing and planning digital signage content. Combined, the draft and preview function will help you prepare and preview your signage content right at your workstation.
Draft your content
Now you can draft Info channels and Information portal content before actually launching it to any endpoints. The draft version can even include availability rules as you plan to use them when published.
In combination, the preview functionality and the draft version function are both great tools for preparing and planning your signage content. For example, you can organize all availability rules and see how it will present to different audience groups, at different times, without making a particular version for a test screen.
New features in BazePort Flow
We are adding another helpful feature to the Flow application. The new feature is an action type found under System Command, called Send remote control keypress. It does what it says on the tin and sends a remote-control command to the BazePort end-point.
New EPG service
Many of our customers have, up until now, received TV guide content, EPG, as a free and complimentary service. We regret to inform you that our free EPG service is no longer possible to uphold as a stable service. This is due to the increased complexity and scope of EPG sources. Our free EPG service will therefore discontinued later in 2021. For this reason we are launching a new EPG service.
