• Re-licensing is required to update to this version. Special pricing is available for

registered 1.0-1.4 customers.

1.40

• A webcasting flaw was eliminated. This flaw introduced a bottleneck, preventing

MPEG/JPEG webcasting from reaching maximum frame-rate potential. Now with a LAN

or sufficiently high-speed connection, it is possible to see 15 fps or higher at a

reasonable quality.

• Improved multi-camera support. When using either the "4-up" or "fit to window"

camera layout, the "selected" camera is outlined in red. Click on a camera to select

it. The snapshot, video record, and camera properties icons operate on the selected

camera.

• Each camera's "short name" appears in parentheses following its full name above its

video window.

1.39

• The camera Timer property page has been recoded to allow multiple active time blocks

for each day. The time also has a graphical display. Note that timer settings made prior

to version 1.39 will be lost and must be re-established.

1.38

• A new Options (See 11.) page has been added entitled "Keyboard Shortcuts." Use this

page to setup shortcuts or keyboard "accelerators." You can map Control+R to the

Record function, or Shift+Control+S to the Snapshot function, for example.

• The Video hardware configuration page (See 7.1) has been revised (again). It is now

possible for advanced users to override the X,Y and frame rate settings with arbitrary

values (use caution in doing so).

• Some capture devices (for example Hauppauge) only offer you the ability to set the

video capture resolution through their hardware options pages -- use of Blue Iris's "X,Y

size" pull-down is either unavailable or causes the capture driver to crash due to

selection of an unsupported size. Beginning with this version, Blue Iris will sense that

you have set the resolution through a hardware properties dialog, and memorize it as

the camera's new "X,Y size."

• The ADS Technologies "Instant DVD" product (producing MPEG-2 video) was coaxed into

working with Blue Iris. It requires the use of its DVD resolution, and requires that the

Pinnacle MPEG-2 decoder filter is installed (included with Pinnacle software).
