New Features:
1. POS – Print to Screen API
Displays POS events and transaction details directly on the video stream in real time, providing immediate on-site visibility for operators and security staff.
2. POS – Recording Control and Timeline Search
Enables start/stop recording triggered by POS events and fast timeline search to quickly locate relevant transactions and incidents.
3. New Media Source: ONVIF IP Camera Client
Allows direct connection to external ONVIF IP cameras via RTSP, including support for POS text overlays on third-party IP cameras, unifying desktop and camera workflows.
4. Shared ITVDesk Configuration (System-Wide Settings)
Introduces system-wide configuration, allowing a single set of ITVDesk settings to be applied to all Windows users on the same PC,
simplifying deployment in enterprise, lab, and training environments.
5. Centralized Offline License Management (Local License Server)
Adds support for centralized, fully offline license management via a local License Server,
designed for system administrators to easily manage licenses across multiple machines.
Enables license assignment, activation, unbinding, and reassignment without internet access,
making it ideal for secure, controlled, and air-gapped enterprise environments.
6. Combined Stream Scaling Options
Adds multiple scaling modes for combined (multi-monitor) streams, including Fill (stretch), Fit (letterbox, preserve aspect ratio), Center (no upscale), Crop to fill, and No scale (sharp, cropped), with optional crop alignment for precise layout control.
7. Advanced Combined Stream Scaling Controls
Adds independent X/Y scaling for fine aspect-ratio adjustments, with Tile Scale acting as a uniform scaling control for accurate multi-monitor alignment.
Improvements:
1. On-Screen Display (OSD) Improvements
Fixes drawing issues, reduces visual artifacts, and improves overall overlay stability.
2. License Handling Improvements
Improves license validation, activation reliability, and reassignment flows, especially for offline and isolated enterprise
environments.
3. Installer Improvements
Enhances automatic detection and handling of required C++ dependencies for a cleaner and more reliable installation experience.
4. Automatic Port Handling
Automatically selects a free ONVIF/HTTPS port after application restart if the configured port is already in use, reducing configuration conflicts.
5. Enhanced Offline License Isolation
Strengthens isolation of offline licenses to better protect customer environments and improve overall security.
6. ONVIF Stability Fixes
Improves SOAP response handling and ensures safer cleanup of PullMessages during rapid start/stop operations.
7. Multi-User Session Improvements
Each Windows user now runs an isolated ITVDesk instance with its own settings and ONVIF camera on a separate port,
allowing VMS/NVR systems to discover each session independently.
8. Combined Streams – Webcam Handling Improvements
Improves webcam handling on Windows (Media Foundation stride and pixel format) and adds safer frame validation to
prevent invalid-frame errors.
9. Improved Scaling Quality
Sets the combined scaling filter to Bicubic interpolation for sharper and higher-quality downscaled video.
10.Overall Stability and Performance Improvements
General internal optimizations to improve application stability, performance, and long-term reliability.
