AJA HELO Plus V2.0
Free firmware v2.0 for AJA&s HELO Plus H.264 streaming/encoding/recorder brings a number of new live streaming enhancements. The update also introduces two new licensable features, including simultaneous streaming/recording of multi-channel stereo audio and PlayToStream, which allows users to use a previously recorded program for a future streaming event.
AJA HELO Plus
HELO Plus v2.0 will be available for download from the AJA support site in May and will include new features such as additional audio options, full integration with Facebook Live, SDI and HDMI status overlays, and more. An optionally purchasable new PlayToStream license allows a previously recorded show to be played as a streaming source, even in parallel with another live stream. The add-on can also be used to record a live stream to a storage device connected to HELO Plus and play back the stream immediately after the recording ends or at a later time.
True multi-channel stereo audio streaming is also now available via a separate optional license that supports two simultaneous channels of stereo audio streaming/recording. This feature allows one stereo audio pair to be assigned for streaming content in one language and the other for streaming the same content in another language for multilingual requirements.
