Version 1.2’s new features include advanced 3D graphics options, as well as multiple audio tracks for multilanguage applications, open and closed captions, HD ingest, MXF and GXF support, and live instant playback for news, sports and entertainment programs.
Also on the docket for OmniBus at NAB is OPUS 2.

OPUS 2 Smart Client is both Windows and Mac-compliant.
