Wirecast versions

v5.0.3 [Nov 6, 2013]
Enhanced encoding and playback:
-x264 encoding for stunning quality at low bit rates
You now have the choice to use x264 to live encode your stream. x264 offers high quality encoding with lower bitrates, making it one of the best low-latency video streaming formats in the world.
-Stream Delay
With support for stream delay in Flash, now you can delay your streamed broadcasts to add a buffer between your live stream and broadcast. Gamers: perfect for delaying your stream to hide your strategy from online competitors.
-Improved H.264 playback
Now you get even smoother playback of your pre-recorded H.264 videos in Wirecast.
Efficiently, redesigned user interface:
-Redesigned Shot List
Now you can see all your Master Layers at once in the easy-to-manage Shot - -List area. Easily resize the height of your layers to save space, and even drag-and-drop shots between layers.
-Intuitive Broadcast Settings workflow
Same settings, now even simpler to use. Just choose where you want to stream live, then configure your settings in the newly redesigned broadcast settings dialog box.
-Live Preview Swap
Easily switch back and forth between two shots with a click of the Live Preview Swap button.
More powerful screen capture:
-Capture multiple windows on the same computer
Wirecast 5 lets you broadcast multiple application windows from the same computer efficiently and smoothly.
-Full HD 60 frames per second capture
Let the games begin! Stream your computer desktop screen in HD at 60 FPS with amazing quality. Great for live game streaming.
New input and output integrations:
-Program feed output to Blackmagic Design
Take your Wirecast feed out directly to Blackmagic Design Intensity or DeckLink hardware. Ideal for sending live feeds directly into editing, effects and broadcast design systems. Our Blackmagic Design partnership is the first of many integrations for Wirecast’s new Output SDK, which enables SDI/HDMI progressive program feed out.
-Input web streams as sources
Now bring IP or web-based live feeds directly into Wirecast as sources. Wirecast supports RTMP, RTSP, MMS or HTTP sources. This is great for news, sports, and other live shows where you have remote sources.
-Bring TriCaster output into Wirecast to take advantage of Wirecast's powerful streaming options
Telestream Wirecast 5 now allows you to live stream to multiple platforms or your own streaming servers directly from your TriCaster. With Wirecast's pre-configured destinations, it's easy to stream directly to YouTube Live, Ustream, and many others in just a few clicks.
