New in Portable VideoVelocity 3.7.2090.0 (Mar 11, 2019)

  • New Feature: Support 4K and 8K timelapse broadcast to teleport.io
  • New Feature: Experimental support for UDP video stream capture, like that used by a GoPro Hero 4.
  • New feature: Nikon D500, D5600, D7500, D850 support.
  • Change: Using teleport.io domain when broadcasting to Teleport, use to be teleport.nu. Also now using REST Api endpoint, all traffic goes over HTTPS and is SSL encrypted.
  • Change: Improved IP camera connectivity.
  • Change: Preview is now an explicit project propery that can be saved to the project file.
  • Change: MP4 files output now optimized for web streaming. (Win7+)
  • Change: Improved rendering when converting video files. (Win8+)
  • Change: Using faster REST baised API endpoint to broadcast to Teleport.
  • Fix: Regression where output timestamps in filenames weren't respecting LocalTime setting. And could result in missing output files.
  • Fix: Improved support for Nikon capture in LiveView mode. Note VideoVelocity will now lock on shutdown waiting for active camera command completion, i.e. long duration exposure completion.
  • Fix: Fixed an issue on .Net 4.5 on some systems that would cause VV to hard crash once preview or capture was started.
  • Fix: Ability to select the input on capture cards.
  • Fix: More efficient IP camera capture, with ability to force basic authentication for cameras that don't support digest auth.
  • Fix: Improved historical frame upload to teleport.io
  • Fix: Divide by zero error that could occur when preview was on.
  • Version 3.6.2008.0
  • New Feature: Support for broadcasting already recorded content (images/video) to Teleport.
  • New Feature: Option to keep any captured images on the Nikon camera memory card.
  • New Feature: Optimized RTSP stream capture, allows for higher frame rate capture.
  • Fix: Some changes to support TeamViewer/WPF rendering. Issues such as 'black window' still exist and we recommend using a dummy HDMI plug on deployments without monitors. The issues are a result of TeamViewer and .Net/WPF incompatibility and not VideoVelocity specifically.
  • Fix: Improved image quality when downscaling images.
  • Fix: Multi rule schedules that driving capture interval and also broadcast to Teleport, would use Teleport configured value over the scheduled value if VideoVelocity was restarted.
  • Fix: Video from files, wouldn't read some files if shorter than 1 sec.
