What's New in Cablecast 7.8

Cablecast 7.8 includes support for Multiple Audio Programs, publishing server output to thrid party platforms, a new way to run events with Control Rooms, and a cleaner Run Details UI for your schedule items.

Multiple Audio Programs

Shows with Multiple Audio Programs are now supported through their Videos on Demand and Cablecast Closed Captioning content. The Video on Demand section now allows you to choose a language and give a label to each audio program. The Cablecast Closed Captioning section now contains a similar configuration, where each audio track can be labelled with the appropriate language.

Network Stream Destinations

Network Stream Destinations enable you to publish server outputs to a third party. This allows for easy RTMP configuration and a method for publishing to social streaming platforms. Currently in Cablecast 7.8, you will be able to publish directly to YouTube, with more social platforms to be added in the future.

Control Rooms

Control Rooms aim to replace the Force Matrix by giving you greater customizability tailored for your station. These rooms can be configured to display only the set of devices relevant to your events. In addition, you can create Macros to better automate common broadcast operations with a single key press.

New Run Details Overlay

The Editing Records Side Pane in the Schedule has been replaced with a less cramped and more robust Run Details Overlay for you to control all settings related to a run. The Schedule Side Pane is now reserved for show searching, allowing new features more space in the new Run Details Overlay.
