On August 17th Singlewire Software released InformaCast v7.0, the newest version of our popular IP broadcasting application. Following is a list of some of the new features that have been added to InformaCast v7.0 to enhance functionality and improve user experience. Any clients using an earlier version of InformaCast who have a current maintenance contract can download version 7.0. If you are interested in downloading the newest version of InformaCast, would like to update your maintenance contract, or are interested in purchasing InformaCast version 7.0, please visit us at www.singlewire.com/talkwithus.
New Features:
- Dynamic Text. Add simple variables to the Short or Long Text fields to include dynamic text (such as the current time or date, the user who sent the message, the user’s directory number, etc.) within a message.
- Data Setup Script and Audio Replacement Script. Pull dynamic information or audio from other sources to include in your messages.
- Twitter Integration. We now provide the means for connecting with and sending messages through Twitter. (Contact your Singlewire salesperson for more details.)
- Pre and Post Tones for Live, Ad-hoc, and Recorded Messages. Configure your audio messages to contain tones that play before and/or after a broadcast to let people know when a message is about to start and when it has ended.
- Scroll Speed and Duration Fields. You can now control how fast and the number of times a message scrolls across your devices. These features currently only work in conjunction with new LED clock speakers being released in conjunction with InformaCast 7.0.
- Re-broadcasting Tab. This feature allows you to control whether your message repeats, how often it does so, and if there should be a pause between repetitions.
- Language Support. InformaCast now supports non-Roman alphabets for display on phones and the Desktop Notification System. As long as the phone’s region supports the appropriate alphabet, broadcasts containing text comprised of non-Roman alphabet characters will display properly.
- Reporting. Generating a report in InformaCast allows you to see a list of the broadcasts that were sent out and which users sent them.
This is only a partial list of the new features InformaCast v7.0 has to offer; for the full list please click here, or if you are interested in viewing a webinar about the highlights of InformaCast v7.0 click here.
