GlobeCaster 3.1 Software

This new software version is a good step forward in the continuing development of the GlobeCaster platform. Most of the new features and enhancements are the results of direct input from GlobeCaster users. The list below is a highlight of the main features of this new release.

This release will only function on a GlobeCaster or an upgraded Trinity that is running version 3.0 or later software.

Note:Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional support only. Windows NT is no longer supported.

Note:The legacy Graham Patton audio module is also no longer supported.

Note: This version REQUIRES a 1 MB Static RAM module on the Coordinator Card. If the GlobeCaster has a Time Machine or a DV/IO card, this memory module has been installed. This new version of software will not function without this memory update. Click here to check your Coordinator Card's memory
