Wirecast Studio 4.3

Wirecast software lets you produce professional-looking live events with just a camera, an internet connection and a computer. Stream or record live internet shows, broadcast breaking news or sporting events, stream live concerts, transmit church services, corporate meetings, lectures and much more.

DESCRIPTION
With the intuitive interface and fully integrated streaming capabilities Wirecast makes it easy for anyone to share live experiences and build a global community. Wirecast lets you stream multiple live video cameras while dynamically mixing in other media such as movie clips, images, audio and text. Features such as Chroma Key (green screen), 3D transitions, built-in titles and up to 35 layers of live compositing allow you to create professional broadcast productions for live or on-demand distribution to services such as Ustream, Livestream and Justin.TV, as well as to a wide range of streaming servers. Wirecast Pro adds scoreboards, advanced audio control, 3D virtual sets and more.

Plug-in your camera. Prepare your shots. Broadcast live.

Wirecast is ideal for novices and professionals alike who want to stream or record professional broadcasts to live or on-demand audiences.

Wirecast 4.3 Now Available
Telestream is pleased to announce the release of Wirecast 4.3 software. This free update adds even more sophisticated capabilities for streaming mutlicamera live events.

Highlights include:

Live Thumbnails
The new live thumbnail feature in Wirecast 4.3 enables real-time monitoring of all live source shots in the shot window. This allows users to see exactly what's happening on each live input at any point in time, making the process of switching between multiple live cameras faster and more manageable.

Countdown Clock
Wirecast 4.3 adds a countdown clock under the Live Broadcast window whenever an imported video clip is playing. When users switch to a recorded video, the countdown clock will display the remaining time of that video, making it easier to prepare for the next switch.

Teradek Integration
Live event broadcasting just got easier. Teradek's new Stream Reader (Windows Only) plugin for Wirecast allows Cube, Brik, and Bond users to import live HD video directly into Telestream's software platform.

Stream Reader is a powerful tool for live productions that use local or remote IP video feeds. This means that Teradek users can pull low latency video into Wirecast straight from their encoder or a Sputnik Server.

Stream Reader also offers a number of features to help you get the most out of a Wirecast workflow, including adjustable options for jitter buffer and lip synchronization across several Teradek video sources. To ensure your production is always in sync, the special Synchronization Mode automatically determines and applies the optimal buffer delay to your video feeds.
