What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Live Low Latency
· Configurable Maximum Packet Size
· Improved Firewall Traversal
· .RA and .RV file extensions
· In order to take advantage of the new Live Low Latency feature in RealProducer 11, you must be broadcasting to a Helix Server 11. If you are broadcasting to an older server with Latency Mode set to anything other than 0, the server will report Malformed Packet messages to the server logs, and clients will not be able to connect to the broadcast. See the user's guide for information about the new latency mode options in RealProducer 11.
· The Legacy Push broadcast method has been removed from RealProducer 11. This means that you cannot broadcast to a Pre-8.0 RealServer from RealProducer 11.
