To celebrate the release, the retail price of RayCaster has been lowered to $399. The 1.1 release can be tried now via a 7-day demo downloadable from www.raycaster.com.
Improvements to RayCaster 1.1 include:
* More efficient encoding and better performance in the case of CPU overloads
* Elimination of a color conversion step to preserve image fidelity
* Unattended encoding recovery with a simple command
* Built-in still slides
“We fixed some bugs and polished the UI for 1.1, but the real improvement is the enhanced performance,” noted CEO and chief developer David Mojdehi. “RayCaster 1.1’s improved efficiency allows for more complex encodes while demanding less of your hardware.”
RayCaster is a live audio/video encoder that employs up to five simultaneous, real-time Windows® Media™ encoders to reach the broadest audience possible with a high level of failover protection. RayCaster simultaneously archives high-quality footage to disk and provides a powerful interface to streamline the webcast process.
