Ventuz 4 FAQ
Posted: 29 Apr 2013, 13:24
Hi guys,
since I'm getting a lot of questions about V4- lets try to get the information concentrated here.
Q: What are the changes in the license model?
A: V4 will no longer have a free express nor a touch version. In future there will only be the V4 professional Version and no specific broadcast version.
The presenter is now called runtime (same girl - different name)
You can now get additional SDI output modules which work with the professional designer (overall - the pricing in Broadcast is pretty much the same as in V3 Broadcast).
Additionally we are releasing the Director a new Ventuz remote/controlling tool for Event and Broadcast market in our well known Ventuz quality.
Q: So the Director is not included in V4 Professional Designer?
A: no, it is not included.
Q: I have V3 touch and want to upgrade to V4 what do I do!?
A: Email me – we will find a solution.
Q: When I buy V3 now will I have to pay for the V4 upgrade?
A: no!
Q: When is V4 released?
A: Approx. end of June. But can be delayed.
Q: What are the main features?
A: Well, first of all we have a new UI - which is a feature because it is dark! (and you can switch to bright as well! -crazy)
Apart from that the MAIN features are Director /template engine , Global variables and events(finaaally), fancy new font engine (finally no more problems with huge asian fonts as well),a new Video Pipeline, and a Render /Cluster setup tool - making multiple monitor settings + Clustering and custom resolutions + bezels very very easy to work with.
Q: Is there any footage or demo material?
A: actually apart from the snapshots on our HP I’m sad to say no – we are just back from NAB and everybody needed like 1 week sleep straight. Anyways I’m thinking about making at least a short demo video for Director and V4 as soon as I have time. But don’t pin me down to that!
Q: Will my old licenses stop working?
A: No.
Q: Will there be a PLE?
A: Yes, for V4- including SDI- and the Director.
Q: How can I ensure to get a copy as fast as possible?
A: We have a lot of orders at the moment from all over the world. So it is possible that our shipping is delayed if you order shortly after release.
To prevent this, Email me or André now and pay in advance – we can then prepare everything and ship at release day.
