Real-Time Alerts

We have successfully pushed an update to all zones. This release includes:

1. Improved Hardware Hub firmware which includes support for SDI and HDMI embedded audio within HLS-based Live Streaming, support for Hardware Appliance-based OCR meta-layer creation, and improved error and alert reporting. To receive this firmware update, please contact your Account Manager to receive an update appointment.
2. New System Alert tab within the Admin Panel that enables Administrators to send custom email notices to users of the Platform within their organization including – but not limited to – internal policy changes, notices of newly available media relevant to all users, upcoming user training sessions, etc.
3. Minor version update of the Software Capture for PC including general availability for screen region capture, improved behavior when the desktop icon is clicked on during an active capture, and more. We will be releasing another minor application update with some additional capabilities in a few weeks.
4. General availability of Recycle Bin capability with an Admin-configurable retention period. The organization’s Administrators can establish a retention period (default is 30 days) for all users. All deleted media automatically goes to the user’s Recycle Bin (underneath their My Account) where it be self-recovered prior to the retention period.

We also added about 65+ additional smaller features and improvements such as new third-party captioning vendor support, minor update to the Android app to support uploading locally stored photos and videos, and more.

The YuJa Product Team has delivered an updated version of the Android app for tablets and phones that improved device compatibility for capture replay, added the ability to watch single-stream (uploaded) media in the player app, and introduced single-sign-on (SSO) integration with the app. We are aiming to provide a similar set of improvements to the iOS app next month to improve video playback compatibility with newer iOS devices.

We have successfully pushed an update to all zones. This release includes a refreshed Main Menu, more modern Institution->Devices tab, an updated Android app that resolved a number of device playback issues on recent devices (we will commence work on refreshing our iOS app in July for the same purpose), and updates to our Video Quizzes to use our branded HTML5 Player.

We also added over 50 features and fixes included the ability for authenticated users to download their digital notes and bookmarks as a PDF, improved performance and search within the  Courses & Groups tab, the ability to better manage auto-generated PDFs and Audio Description tags.

We have some exciting features rolling out in phases this summer – stay tuned!

We are pushing an update this week (pending Android Store approval) to improve the use of HLS encoded streams. We expect this to be available for download by March 31st, 2017.
