InfoChannel 5 Release 3 adds several important new features and modules, as well as performance improvements and fixes to various issues. Some highlights include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- InfoChannel now has a new high-performance video-playback engine that plays back videos much faster than before, including 60fps video, and HD video on suitable hardware.
- InfoChannel now supports playback of H.264 (MPEG-4) video files. H.264 offers high visual quality at a smaller file size than MPEG-2 or WMV files.
- You can create text in languages such as Arabic, Thai, Hebrew, Hindi, Vietnamese, and other complex writing systems.
- The new Broadcast Server module for InfoChannel Content Manager allows you to distribute content and plans to players using a multicast or package delivery network.
- Support for playing and controlling external audio sources from the "Line Input" of your sound card.
- When setting up a dual-channel player, you can now configure the PC's displays to be in spanning / stretched mode, which performs better and looks cleaner than using two independent displays.

|
- Support for text-entry field elements from the Buttons panel. This allows you to create interactive applications that take keyboard input.
- If your InfoChannel Player is behind a proxy server, you can now specify the proxy server's URL, username, and password.
- Publishing individual files that are bigger than 4GB is now supported.
- InfoChannel Content Manager is now significantly faster when dealing with larger networks.
- In InfoChannel Content Manager, sub-playlists can be easily created by multi-selecting media items and clicking Create Sub-Playlist.
- Text elements using variables, and text crawls now support inline and adjacent style changes for font, color, italics, size, etc.
- In InfoChannel Content Manager, you now "synchronize players" instead of "generating plans", and the new Distribution screen efficiently manages this for both conventional and broadcast connections.
