ITVDesk Change Logs

ITVDesk 11.2 makes it easier to set up your cameras and understand how your streams are performing. Preview video before saving camera settings, see connected clients and live stream statistics, and select application windows more flexibly. This release also improves activity monitoring, VMS/NVR integration, secure connections, and overall reliability.

Release highlights

• Video preview and combined layouts let users check supported sources, crop, scaling, and layout before saving camera settings. New vertical and mirrored arrangements expand combined-stream options.
• Live stream insights show session details, measured outgoing FPS, bitrate, and total outgoing traffic. Compatible unicast clients can also provide round-trip time and video packet-loss statistics through existing RTCP reports.
• Application and security analytics provide ONVIF VideoAnalytics metadata for compatible VMS/NVR clients, alongside independent Motion output controls and flexible Application Windows selection by full title, partial title, or program name. Metadata display, indexing, and search depend on the receiving VMS.
• Discovery and update controls add optional Bonjour/mDNS discovery, automatic update-check controls, download progress, and download cancellation while keeping manual update checks available.
• ONVIF integration expands with processor-load monitoring, camera LastReboot events, and TLS Configuration Add-on 2.0 functionality with RSA/ECC key support, certificate signing requests, and certificate management through compatible VMS clients.

Reliability fixes

• Improved concurrent local replay, file-source initialization, audio timing, video conversion, and RTSP service/session status handling.
• Strengthened HTTP/HTTPS request validation and file access protection while retaining existing stream addresses and connection settings.

ITVDesk 11.1 improves Windows desktop and audio capture performance, audio backchannel stability, HTTP/HTTPS tunneling, and ONVIF integration for professional VMS and NVR environments.

Release highlights

• Windows desktop performance improves with FPS-paced frame processing and cached video conversion contexts. Local Windows VM tests delivered approximately 24.45 FPS at a 25 FPS target, compared with 18-19 FPS previously.
• Audio and Talk reliability improves with safer session shutdown and stable RTSP URLs when Audio IN is enabled, changed, or disabled for local Desktop, Window, and Webcam streams.
• HTTP/HTTPS tunneling handles fragmented stream-control data and repeated connection changes more reliably, including when multiple cameras or VMS/NVR clients are used.
• ONVIF integration improves with HTTPS service discovery and replay updates. All 651 tests in the executed ONVIF Device Test Tool 26.06 test set passed with the tested device configuration for Profile T support.
• Unicast and multicast streaming gains more reliable transport selection, shared multicast startup, and sender handover while retaining existing saved settings.

Reliability fixes

• UI Protection now also locks Server Mode stop/configure and apply/start controls.
• Corrected multicast transport retries and stream addresses, and prevented duplicate ONVIF analytics rule descriptions after camera reinitialization.

ITVDesk 11.0 expands ONVIF integration with HTTPS certificate management, recording job control, recorded audio replay, event notification streaming, and per-channel Application Monitoring.

Release highlights

• ONVIF certificate management lets compatible NVR/VMS clients create certificates, generate signing requests, and upload or replace HTTPS server certificates.
• ONVIF HDD recording and audio replay add AAC audio to new recordings from configured Audio IN device sources and ONVIF control of recording jobs.
• ONVIF Notification Streaming and multicast control extend event integration and IPv4 RTP multicast operation for compatible NVR/VMS clients.
• Application Monitoring adds optional per-channel application events, visible-window alerts, and allowed-application monitoring through existing Motion events and video OSD.
• Desktop PTZ AbsoluteMove adds normalized cursor positioning while retaining existing relative movement and mouse-click mappings.

Improvements

• More reliable HTTP/HTTPS services, tunneled streams, audio backchannel changes, and ONVIF event delivery.
• Improved Media1/Media2 profiles, recording and replay, snapshots, discovery, and stream resource handling.
• Clearer license request exports and offline license generator workflows, with existing offline licenses supported and online activation unchanged.

ITVDesk 10.9 introduces Security Monitor for Windows protection status and security incidents, with on-screen warnings, VMS/NVR alarm integration, and encrypted incident history.

Release highlights

• Windows Security Monitor brings antivirus health, Microsoft Defender protection, and Windows Firewall status into ITVDesk.
• Security warnings on the video stream make selected incidents visible through CPU OSD.
• VMS/NVR alarm integration connects selected events to per-channel Motion alarms and per-device Alarm IN.

Improvements

• Clearer monitoring settings, grouped events, and an on-screen alert preview.
• AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption for local configuration and security-log protection.
• More reliable incident saving, source filtering, and overlapping alert handling.

ITVDesk 10.8 adds exacqVision VMS support and security enhancements for hardened deployments, including secure-only connections, Windows-protected storage, shared certificate management, and expanded access controls and security auditing.

Release highlights

• exacqVision integration supports ONVIF HTTP and HTTPS connections with RTSP-over-HTTPS tunneling.
• Optional HTTPS-only and RTSPS-only operation gives administrators more control over allowed connections.
• Windows-protected storage and certificate management strengthen protection of configuration, secrets, and imported TLS private keys.

ITVDesk 10.6 adds Windows User Session media sources for Windows Server, RDP, and RDS environments, together with persistent per-user session binding, expanded Server Mode controls, and configurable PNG logo overlays.

Release highlights

• Windows User Session media sources can follow the active Windows session, capture the local console, or remain assigned to a selected user and monitor.
• Persistent SID-based user binding helps ITVDesk restore the intended user session after reconnects, logons, Session ID changes, service restarts, or Windows restarts.
• Per-channel session status and desktop settings provide clearer control of the selected user, session, monitor, capture area, cursor, PTZ, and keyboard overlay.
• PNG logo overlays can be applied to video streams with adjustable opacity while preserving the image's original transparency.
