New Features in Version 4.0
- 3-D Effects – Audience now supports 3-D transitions that can rotate a zone on the x or y axis, and any angle, or map graphics, video or mng files onto a 3-D object such as a cylinder, cube or sphere.
- Single/Double Transitions – You can now fade to black or zoom up and down by assigning a single transition to the the page. The transition affects how the previous page ends, and how the current page begins without having to alter the transitions on
both pages. - Gate Transition – A new regular transition that swings the page like a gate door. Transition direction determines which edge is ‘hinged’ (Top,Bottom, Left and Right).
- MPEG4 Support – Audience uses the Quicktime engine to play MPEG4 files.
- H.264 and MOV video file playback support – Both SD and HD up to 720p resolutions.
- HD MPEG support
- Looping MPEGs – You can now easily create a full screen video background that continuously loops. If the video fits on the VGA card’s memory, it will load there, saving system resources. The looping function also works in normal pages, not just full screen background pages.
- MNG Animation – Broadcast quality 30fps animation files with 8 bit alpha channel. Both looping and play-once options. MNG Animation files are created automatically by dragging and dropping a graphic image sequence (discrete png/jpg/tga/tif
files) into an input directory. - Keywords – A powerful new scheduling option that allows you to target specific playbacks by location, demographic, area, etc. Create an unlimited number of ad-hoc playback groups quickly without modifying the scheduling structure. Assign keywords to playbacks as well as to pages, and those pages play only on those specific playbacks.
- Full alpha channel flash support – Flash with alpha channel is now supported on all Audience systems (DSX, Sign and Web). Flash files with ACTIONscript, especially those that require user interaction or that read data from a source outside the playback computer are not supported.
- Create scheme of multiple playbacks at once – With ScreenWizard you can now create a scheme that includes more than one playback.
