Download the New BoinxTV 1.5 for Mac OS X

Touted as being the pioneering live-production software for video podcasters, BoinxTV can turn any Mac into a TV studio “for the rest of us,” according to its makers, provided that the Mac is a new-generation model. BoinxTV is the winner of an Apple Design Award (Mac OS X Leopard Developer Showcase).

“Record stunning studio shows, podcasts, sports events, concerts, interviews, sermons, seminars and more using your Mac, multiple cameras, microphones and other footage,” Boinx Software, the maker of BoinxTV for Mac, says. “With its innovative user interface, BoinxTV makes it easy to create professional ‘TV style’ recordings, setting a new quality level in the production of video podcasts.”

The changelog for BoinxTV 1.5 reveals that audio files can once again be dragged onto Audio Only layers, while major improvements have been made to the whole rendering engine of the software. According to the developers, “This will enhance stability, especially on Multicore/Hyperthreading based Macs.” The new version also adds support for the Aluminum Apple Remote and the White Apple Remote on 10.6.2 and higher. Other changes include the ones listed below.

· Rendering on multiple screens and graphics cards;
· Issues with Nvidia based GPU leaking VRAM;
· Issues with ATI based GPU leaking RAM when using layers with multiple video inputs (e.g. Video Switcher);
· Overall performance of composition sources;
· Overall performance of filter sources;
· Playing movies with non-square pixels (like DV formats) now works as expected;
· The above should also result in a slight performance improvement for non-square movies;
· Generally improved performance of movie playback;
· Undo needs much less memory;
· Frame dropping behavior using HDV;
· The values of jog wheels in the parameter view can now be changed by scrolling horizontally instead of vertically. Therefore the jog wheels no longer conflict with scrolling the parameter view;
· Many other under-the-hood improvements and fixes.

BoinxTV requires an Intel-based Mac with discrete graphics or a dual-processor PowerMac G5 with ATI graphics, 2 GB of RAM, Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.5 or higher) and QuickTime 7.5.5 or higher.
