Main features

One license for multichannel streaming

One Softron Streaming Pack license, adds the ability to stream using MovieRecorder or MovieRecorder Express running on the same Mac. Just create a preset in the new "Streaming Center" application and it will be available to use with all* the other Softron licenses you have on your Mac, without any limits in the number of channels, except of course the capability of your Mac to encode H.264.

Direct integration with social media

Stream to Facebook, YouTube or Twitch. Log in YouTube in Softron's Streaming Center, and start streaming your live directly from your favorite Softron application. This makes it very easy to start streaming an event.

Use direct link with MovieRecorder

Currently, Softron Streaming Pack is compatible with MovieRecorder and MovieRecorder Express. Other applications will be supported soon for streaming directly from our playout applications. But you can already stream the output of your favorite Softron playout application (OnTheAir Video Express, OnTheAir Video, OnTheAir Node, OnTheAir CG, and even M|Replay) by using the direct link feature.

With the direct link, MovieRecorder and MovieRecorder Express can receive the frames directly from our playout applications running on the same Mac. You don't even need to have a video device for your playout application. Check the following video to understand how this works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SseHZ4UsQ3o

DEMO Limitations

In DEMO mode, the streaming software application will burn a blue frame in the recorded file at some intervals. That's the only limitation and difference. After your test, you will keep on using the same application, just with the demo mode unlocked

How to unlock the DEMO version ?

Purchase a license through one of our resellers or the Softron online store, then just activate your serial number in the License window or plug your dongle in the computer.

Upgrade/Update instructions

Just download the latest version and replace your previsous version. It is always recommended to run extensive tests with your specific workflow and setup before putting a new version in production. You can use a free demo version for that on a separate computer. Previous legacy versions are available from the general downloads page.

You do not need to deactivate and reactivate your serial number when updating your Softron software. Read the following article to know when to deactivate.

* We know that some of our users can not upgrade their macOS very often. This is why Softron tries to maintain compatibility with older versions of macOS as much as possible, but it is not always possible to achieve. Because Operating Systems are usually significantly improved over previous versions, Softron must use many of the more capable built-in functionalities inherent in Apple's latest OS releases. Failing to do so would mean that Softron software would essentially be blocked from using the new Frameworks provided in the OS. For this reason, Softron's free support is provided only on the current and previous macOS versions. Also, most of our tests will be done on these macOS versions, and only basic tests will be done on the previous OS. We will always try to help, but in some cases, the best solution is to upgrade your macOS to a more recent version.

Softron does not warrant that these recommended configurations will always meet specific user requirements. They are intended as guidelines and are based on extensive testing that Softron has done, they can be changed without notice. Hardware, drivers, software and operating systems change regularly and we advise users and prospective users to evaluate their requirements in their specific environment/workflow using Softron demo licenses that are available for downloading from Softron's web site.
