  • 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.
