Release note 8.5 BazePort IPTV

RELEASE OF BAZEPORT IPTV - VERSION 8.6

Bazeport 27 October 2022

The BazePort IPTV system is continually renewed and improved as part of our ongoing product design and development. When you enter a BazePort Service Agreement, you are entitled to new software releases and fixes for the software licenses you have purchased. BazePort version 8.6 introduces several new features, dynamic content and possible integration methods for BazePort Publish, as well as introduces the possible use of Bluetooth-connected headsets for our CT-2211 set-top box. 

NEW FEATURE: SLIDES - INSTANT PREVIEW

Publishers familiar with BazePort Publish know how to use Slides & Templates. The new Instant Publish functionality allows for a quick and instant preview of your content when working with slides.

Skill level accessible - medium

­Previously Slides needed to be saved to test the result. That was time-consuming since saving includes rendering the Slide into a playback format to be used in an Info Channel. Instant Preview eliminates the need for saving and allows the publisher to inspect the result instantly with a click. Jumping back and forth between edit mode and the result has never been quicker or easier.

NEW FEATURE: THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATION

BazePort 8.6 includes a new method for using external APIs in a BazePort Publish, Slide element. Useful when data used in the slide is dynamic and produced in systems other than BazePort. This new feature, available in BazePort Publish, is expected to be used by people who are experienced with coding and using JSON APIs.

This feature requires skill level advanced.

Sometimes it is helpful to extract information from one system and display it on another. This way, you can combine data from multiple sources together.

NEW EDITOR: ADVANCED CODING OPTION

When adding data from a third party, you will need to adapt and style the data to your Slide. This is how the data get their design and comes together with the rest of your slide. Data from an API may be presented in different formats, depending on the destination.
