Finland - Media server specialist Picturall has released version 2.4.0 of the software that runs their range of media servers. The new software improves and enhances performance with several fixes for minor issues, the addition of some new features and, most importantly, the addition of support for new hardware including dual DisplayPort 1.2 and uncompressed 8k playback options.
“The input cards were first unveiled last year, but the software was still in beta format,” explained CEO Samuli Valo. “The new release provides full support for the latest input cards, making Picturall one of the first media server manufacturers in the world to offer full end-to-end 4k compatibility as well as uncompressed 8k playback.”
V2.4.0 also provides support for the upcoming Analog Way server models. There have also been a number of improvements in display configuration and custom display mode handling as well as improved diagnostic tools.
“The new release software offers lots of little fixes and enhancements that will definitely please our customers, but what will really put a smile on their faces (and ours!) is the fact that we can officially announce 4k compatibility on the inputs for a full end-to-end 4k solution thanks to the DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 input cards, plus full support for the uncompressed 8k playback option, available in 2, 4 and 8TB formats.”
