What's New or Changed for 4.0
The Haivision Media Platform 4.0 release adds the following new features:
| Enhancement | Affected Topics |
|---|---|
Added ability to customize the display of captions in the browser, including font type and color, background color and transparency, text size, and caption positioning. Administrators may change the default behavior for all users, while individual users can override the administrator's settings in their browser. Note This feature does not apply to the low-latency player as captions are not yet supported. Additionally, this feature does not affect captions displayed on connected set-top boxes. | |
Removed Preview Mode for the Low-latency Player, Live Review, and Layouts features. | |
| Removed Peer-to-peer video delivery feature. | |
| Added ability to always show the player controls when using an embedded player link. | |
| Corrected calculation of number of concurrent recordings. The license limit for recordings was incorrectly checked against sessions, instead of against sources. | N/A |
| Upgraded operating system (OS) to Oracle Enterprise Linux 9. | N/A |
| Due to the upgrade to the OS, the hash function used for pairing with HMG has changed from SHA-1 to SHA-512. Therefore, ensure the major versions of both your HMP and Gateways are the same. For instance, if your HMP is at version 4.0+, your Media Gateways must also be at version 4.0+ | |
Due to the upgrade to the HMP OS, changed the implementation for U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 and high-security (STIG) environments. (The STIG enable button was removed.) Please contact your Haivision Support representative to enable FIPS and/or STIG in your installation. |
Note
These features vary by product edition and license.
