VidZapper Upgraded

We've just released a major new upgrade of VidZapper. Version 2.6 has a whole host of exciting new features and improvements.

Scheduler v2 – the new release of the scheduler enables drag and drop scheduling against a timeline and also supports overlays. Therefore it is possible, for example, to schedule a simulcast for 24 hours and then to overlay particular programmes, slots or ad breaks. Schedules can be pre-prepared for a limitless amount of time in the future.

Player Builder v2 – the latest version of the player builder enables sophisticated players to be built with no coding at all. A new scheduling component has been added, along with a considerable enhancement over the settings and controls for the player, which can only be exported in Flash/Flex at present. The Player Builder is fully compatible with VZPlayer 3.0.

HTML5 Support – you can now generate HTML5 players that will work on any HTML5 compatible browsers, provided you use compatible video. These players are ideal for iPhone and iPad distribution.

Previews – players and videos can now be directly previewed.

Faster Searching – in all views a new, faster search algorithm has been implemented; this particularly helps clients with large data sets. Also, search queries now paginate.

Expiry Date – a stamp is now placed on expired content.

Statistics Enhancements – the speed of lookup has been considerably enhanced and stats can now be filtered by the hour.

Content IDs – meaningful names can be given to metadata content ids, e.g. SD/HD, or Web/iPhones/Blackberry so that it is easy to manage different content types; also it is now possible to search by All content ids. This feature can also be used for supporting multiple language players.

VZPlayer 3.0 – a new version of VZPlayer is available with far greater customisation, enhanced performance and control and a smaller footprint.

API – the API has been considerably expanded.
