Elementi 2021 is the eighth generation of the Elementi software, introducing the following new features:

  • Support for rendering PDF files within projects for HMP400 and HMP400W. PDF files with multiple pages are imported automatically as a playlist, thus allowing hiding pages, reordering pages, and/or adding a custom transition between pages.

  • Image conversion on import into a project now supports all the image codecs installed on the host operating system.

  • New "Send to cloud" button to publish any Elementi project into your ARYA Enterprise cloud, after entering the ARYA account credentials in Elementi.
  • Elementi 2021 Update 5 adds the support for multitouch (including in HTML layers), the WebRTC API in HTML5, audio surround (5.1 and 7.1), web radio streaming (using the ICY, HLS or DASH protocols), and bitmap color OpenType / TrueType fonts.
  • Elementi 2021 Update 6 adds the support for the video input scheme URIs (i.e., videoin:// and audioin://) to include playback of content generated by audio/video capture devices connected to HMP400/W players through USB. This is a Technology Preview Feature.
  • Elementi 2021 Update 7 adds the support for the video input layer to facilitate the use of the video capture feature in the content.
  • Elementi 2021 Update 8 adds the support for showing images attached to the calendar event for calendars connected to Exchange online.
  • Elementi 2021 Update 9 adds the support for showing images attached to the calendar event for calendars connected to Google Calendars and for modern variations of the RSS format.
Note Note:
Elementi 2021 is a native 64-bit application. Older 32-bit versions, such as Elementi 2020, can be installed at the same time if needed for managing legacy players.
