• VTR Control and Batch capture
• Support for the JPEG-2000 codec. It does not require the pro codecs option (except if you need to record to MXF). Max 4 channels. It is GPU accelerated and thus requires a Mac Pro 2013. D500 or D700 recommended for 4 channels.
• Support for XAVC. Note that this is a very CPU intensive codec and it won't support 4K yet. You can record in HD only on a Mac Pro.
• Ability to "Lock" a source to prevent accidental record & stop record. When starting a scheduled recording and VTR batch capture, it automatically "locks" the source.
• Ability to configure the audio channels that are monitored for each "Viewer".
• Metadata sidecar files can now be created at the start or at the end of the recording.
• When a source uses "Video Card Timecode", it is now available as an "Application Timecode Source" in preferences. This allows sharing TC from one source to the other sources.
