Major updates in version 9.0: Meet the next evolution of Silverstack Lab and XT

Silverstack Lab and XT v9.0 official release new features

We’re thrilled to announce the release of Silverstack XT and Silverstack Lab v9.0! This powerful new version is packed with major feature updates, topped by a true highlight: Silverstack’s brand-new workflow concept, designed to take repetitive busywork off your plate and speed up turnarounds. Here’s how: 

A unified workflow experience 

A sleek new workflow UI replaces and unifies the separate Offload, Backup, Transcode, and Upload wizards. This unified interface lets you chain activities into a custom processing pipeline, save it as a preset, and launch it for each new card with just a few clicks.

Smarter, parallel processing 

No more waiting for one job to finish before the next begins! With interleaved processing, activities like offloading, backing up, uploading, and reporting can now run in parallel. Silverstack automatically determines the most efficient execution order and resolves dependencies at task/clip level. Lab only: Add a transcode activity to generate proxies while still offloading!

Redesigned Jobs View 

Stay in control with the new “Jobs View,” which provides real-time visibility into the progress and history of all workflows, jobs, and tasks.
