Fresh Squeezed Features in Cablecast 5.4

Cablecast 5.4 has been officially released! Enjoy more advanced channel branding options via newly added GPI triggers, more system control from within the Cablecast UI, advanced MPEG-2 compatibility and more!

Support for GPI Triggers

Cablecast now supports GPI triggers. This allows you to add more customized branding to your channel including logo insertion, fades, squeeze backs, and more. An external switcher is needed for this functionality, but these triggers can call be controlled from within the Cablecast UI. Watch the video at the bottom of this post to see Cablecast developer Ray Tiley demonstrating this new feature.

Improvements to SX Servers

Cablecast SX servers now have independent encode and decode resolution options within the UI, which is particularly useful for stations that are HD ready, but are still broadcasting in SD. You can also now control your channel's Genlock timing from within the UI. Skip ahead to this feature in Ray's demonstration by using the log in the video description (look for scrub by topic).

Enhanced MPEG-2 Compatibility

Cablecast 5.4 brings you more flexibility to play back MPEG-2 files accurately. For those coming from systems that record playback streams, such as Synergy Broadcast Systems, you will see increased compatibility for playout using those recorded stream files.

IP control for LeitchRouterCM

You can now control your Leitch ASCII protocol switcher using IP, which is helpful for customers who don't wish to use serial control.
