New Features

  • New sequence behavior and synchronization
    • ScriptOS has been reworked to simplify scripting and synchronization between many layers of devices.
    • All SyncCore enabled devices now coordinate events with each other ' under-the-hood', preventing the programmer from having to worry about sync or media delays, regardless of the number of devices or sub-systems.
    • Logical sequences now process faster than before, and timed sequences can be instantly swapped between timeline views and grid views with the click of a button
    • AND MORE!
  • BX-4KU Support
    • WinScript Live 6 supports the new BX-4KU, a 4K uncompressed video module for the BinloopX.
  • Connection Manager
    • Connection Manager shows all Alcorn McBride devices on the network, including up to date information on whether they are running the latest project files, firmware, and media.
  • New configuration dialog
    • Device and script configuration is done from a single dialog, including sync settings, BinloopX module configuration, and project information.
  • Integrated file transfer
    • A file management interface is now integrated into WinScript Live, allowing you to see exactly which files are present on your device, and manually upload/download any media files, logs, etc.
  • Improved audio playback engine (Dim, Play Next, Lower latency)
    • The audio playback engine for RidePlayer and the BX-16A has been updated for lower playback latency and some new features, such as a "Dim" state and "Play Next" commands.
  • Players
    • The new audio playback engine is more powerful than ever with the updated Players resource.
    • Players maintain their audio routes and mixes until changed, allowing for easier organization and usage of the large number of playback resources offered (look for an updated online training highlighting the new 'Players', they are are powerful and greatly simplify scripting).
  • Added product file for logging to syslog servers Send log messages directly to an external syslog server to maintain your own system logs.
