developments at make.tv: The constant improvement principle

Dear Producers,

the latest make.tv update is online!

This isn't just about the new features - we'd also like to demonstrate just how versatile the virtual studio's capabilities are.

Showcase "Herz-TV"
make.tv makes it possible for you to produce innovative, interactive Web TV formats. To show you some possibilities and perhaps inspire you, we've created various showcases. Take a look at our little "Herz-TV" show. What's special about this show are the two interactive elements: viewers can be patched in to the show and live voting is possible.

Screen grabber and Blue-Screen
Install our free Screen Grabber and create innovative presentations. See for yourself: in this example we used the Screen Grabber to combine a PowerPoint presentation with a speaker, who, using the Bluescreen effect, is inserted in front of the slide.

Variable bandwidth with Media Encoder
If you use the Adobe's free Media Encoder, you can adjust the bandwidth used by your cameras very finely. But which bandwidth do you need? Our team took a trip to the Cologne Zoo to find out and produced a short, live broadcast from the primate cage. Interesting for you:
the clip is available in 4 different bandwidths.

NEW: Anonymous Chat
Just join the conversation: viewers no longer need to register with make.tv in advance before chatting with producers and other viewers during a broadcast. All a viewer has to do to participate is choose a chat name. Of course, anonymous chatters can be patched in to a broadcast via webcam.

NEW: The Show Trimmer
With this tool you can trim the beginning and end of recorded shows. Convenient: crew members are automatically informed 24 hours before a planned broadcast.

NEW: Secure Player
Especially for White Label Accounts: The Secure Embed Player Code. Using this new HTML code, you can embed your player 100% securely. An intelligent TAN system protects you from unauthorized access to your embed code.

NEW: Camera Replace Function
this function considerably reduces the time expenditure when preparing various scenes. Input sources can now be dragged directly to the red camera placeholder - this is then replaced by the new stream which automatically assumes the size of the previous source.

We wish you continued success with make.tv. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Your make.tv-Team
