New Features

Accelerated 10-bit HEVC

If you need to stream the highest quality possible, but your CPU cannot handle the workload, we have a solution. QTAKE can now use hardware acceleration to encode 10-bit HEVC in real time. This is especially useful for remote color grading or any other color-critical stream monitoring. Accelerated 10-bit encoding requires macOS Big Sur and supported Mac hardware.

New Features

Network Bonding

When working on a location with limited internet bandwidth, you can use QTAKE network bonding as a solution. Bonding multiple slow connections can create one fast connection, sufficient to handle the bitrate of your outgoing streams. But instead of getting a dedicated bonding router and paying extra for this service, you can now use built-in network bonding in QTAKE, free of charge.

New Features

Direct Stream Mode

One of the exciting new features in QTAKE is the Direct Stream Mode, licensed via the PRO module. This mode will attempt to connect your QTAKE system directly to clients, avoiding the need for QTAKE Cloud relay. Direct Stream Mode is a perfect solution for remote editing and grading sessions, where streaming is not limited by upload bandwidth. In case the direct connection is successful, post houses can stream high-quality 4K content without paying for stream data.

Live Audio Control

Many video operators have already experienced live audio privacy issues. The sound mixer usually captures audio even when not recording – picking up an on-set conversation that was not intended for remote clients. This new option in QTAKE stream setup lets you avoid this issue by setting live audio to “Record Only” mode. This way, all sound captured between takes will be muted to avoid embarrassing moments.

HEVC and Hardware-Accelerated Encoding

Screen Capture Input
