Restream FTL in XSplit Broadcaster 3.7

FTL is now fully supported in XSplit Broadcaster 3.7 with the Restream.io plugin! We’ve been working closely with Restream since PTR 3.7 was released, and it’s finally here.

FTL stands for ‘faster than light’ and this protocol developed by Mixer, enables a low video latency for streaming. This is especially helpful if you’re engaging a lot with you viewers and giving them interactive controls through the platform. FTL support was first implemented on Mixer plugin itself and it’s now available for the Restream plugin as well.

Restream created a step-by-step guide on how to get started and we highly recommend you to check it out if you’re new to this thing!

XSplit Bundle with Restream!

There’s no better way to celebrate this than introducing the Restream-XSplit Bundle!

Get the ultimate multi platform streaming combo for a discounted price of $37/month! Restream allows you to broadcast to over 30 platforms simultaneously with minimal impact on your bandwidth and hardware, and XSplit Broadcaster is the perfect streaming application for that! Take advantage of the offer here.

This bundle is available for a limited-time period only and will expire on April 30 2019. Avail it while it lasts!

XSplit x Versus Evil at PAX East

After SXSW and GDC, we travel next to PAX East where our team will be co-exhibiting with the wonderful people over at Versus Evil.

Versus Evil is a renowned indie game publisher responsible for publishing titles such as The Banner Saga, Armikrog, Guild of Dungeoneering and more! We’ve worked with them for a number of times in the past but most notably in last year’s PAX East. This year’s flavor is pretty much similar, putting the spotlight on content creators streaming games to their channel all week long. All content will be streamed by our production team using XSplit Broadcaster. If you’re attending, make sure to visit us at booth #15090 and #15096 for some good content and free swag. And don’t hesitate to say hi to us!

Additionally, we’re co-sponsoring a party with Versus Evil and Woovit which will be happening on the 28th starting at 5pm. Learn more details about the party and how to RSVP here.

Just like with other events, we’ll be covering the event on our social media channels so make sure to follow @xsplit for some live updates!

NVIDIA NVENC Improvements in XSplit 3.7

We’ve been working with our good friends over at NVIDIA to optimize XSplit Broadcaster’s NVENC implementation by providing better default encoding settings as well as additional options that can improve the overall quality of your stream or recording. This update is part of the latest XSplit Broadcaster 3.7.

Our Director of Developer Relations Miguel Molina explains it more thoroughly in the video below while also showing some examples.

NVIDIA wrote a detailed NVENC-XSplit guide that walks you through each setting and what is recommended based on the type of content that you’re capturing. We highly recommend checking it out!
There’s more in this version than just NVIDIA optimizations. Please refer to the full release notes for a complete list of new features, improvements and bug fixes.

Finally, a big shout out to the awesome folks on our Discord channel, who spent some time and helped us in testing the PTR version of this release. If you want to get your hands dirty and get access to our PTR builds, join our Discord channel today!

XSplit Partners with Intel at GDC

It’s a real busy month for us as we’re flying next to Game Developers Conference together with Intel to demonstrate XSplit VCam and showcase a lot of things that we’ve been really working hard on for quite some time.

We co-produced a whitepaper about intelligent background removal on Intel GPUs and that’s what we’re aiming to demo live at the Intel booth located at #449, Exhibit Level, South Hall. This is a perfect opportunity for us to get XSplit VCam out in the wild and get as many feedback especially as we near towards the end of our early access period.

Are you going to GDC? Let us know in the comments below!

XSplit Partners with Alienware at SXSW Gaming

They will also be bringing in a whole host of content creators who will be playing and streaming games throughout the event.

See you there!

XSplit is Now on Discord

We’re always looking for ways to better connect with our users whether through exceptional and timely support or just engaging and having fun discussing everything gaming. In the last couple of years, we’ve upped our efforts with both providing 24/7 one-on-one support while also being more proactive on our social media channels so we can foster a closer relationship with you, our users.

Today we’re taking it up a notch by announcing our Discord channel!

Discord needs no introduction as I’m sure you’ll agree. And even though we’re a little late to the party, a lot of us are very familiar with the platform having been part of other channels ourselves which convinced us creating one for XSplit is the way to go.

Inside are some channel-exclusive perks and incentives. One of them is the PTR program which we have completely moved inside. Get to test new features and improvements that are not widely available yet and also help us shape our product updates by working closely with our team through giving feedback and bug reports.

And yes, there are going to be some exciting promos and giveaways only exclusive to members so you’re really gonna be getting a lot by being inside the channel.

Join our Discord at xspl.it/discord and start interacting with us and fellow content creators today. Let the fun begin!

XSplit VCam Holiday Offer

When we released XSplit VCam over a month ago, we’re already quite happy with the product as a whole despite it being in an early state. Even with that, we still didn’t expect the influx of feedback (mostly positive) from you since we released it, which obviously made us happy but also allowed us to keep on working and making the product better. All of this, despite VCam being only available to existing Premium license holders.

Now it’s time to open the gates and let more people in!

VCam Lifetime License & Free Trial Promo

XSplit VCam is more of a utility application which means people are going to be using it with a wide variety of applications. This means purchasing a Premium license just to get access isn’t ideal to some.

We’re removing that restriction by introducing a separate license for XSplit VCam which will allow users who are not using XSplit for streaming, or even those who are not into streaming, to avail it for a reasonable price. And reasonable it is, as starting today, the XSplit VCam Lifetime License will be available with an Early Access offer of $24.95 until January 15, 2019. That’s 50% off!

That’s just the first part of the deal and you may be asking “before I pull the trigger and buy, why not give it a try?”. Well, to coincide with the standalone lifetime license sale, we’re offering a free trial to everyone for a limited-time period only. Head on to xsplit.com/vcam and click the “free trial” button to get started.

Time to get creative and have fun!
