    UTF-8

    With this feature OverDrive now supports UTF-8 Unicode character sets in conjunction with Switcher and Device protocols. It is now possible to accept, process and display UTF-8 characters on the OverDrive user interface. Data may be entered directly on the OverDrive GUI or received from the NCS via MOS. Specific testing has been performed using Traditional Chinese character sets.

    Server Sync Roll

    This feature applies to Video Servers (both MOS and non-MOS) and provides the ability to define pairs of 'redundant' Video Server channels which can then be loaded and synchronously rolled these channels automatically. In the event of Video Server failure, or some problem loading a clip to a particular channel, this provides the ability to quickly switch between the primary and redundant channel.

    Deko CG-Timing

    OverDrive release 11 now extends the CG-Timing feature to support DEKO MOS CG servers. During creation of a rundown in an NRCS, such as ENPS or iNEWS, a DEKO MOS CG element can be placed in the rundown and the DEKO plugin can now be used to specify the 'time in' and 'time out' or 'duration' for the CG element. This timing info will be passed via the MOS XML protocol and will be displayed and used by the OverDrive Rundown Control application.
