Rode is rolling out a firmware update for its Wireless Pro and Wireless Go (third-gen) microphones to add a feature called Direct Connect, which was already available for the Wireless Micro. This allows the mics to pair with iPhones and iPads via Bluetooth without the need for a receiver. All youll need is the Rode Capture app. Rode said its able to offer Direct Connect for Wireless Pro and Wireless Go without compromising the broadcast-quality audio both wireless systems are known for. The feature still supports the option to record from two transmitters in either merged (whereby the audio blends into a single stereo track) or split (which keeps the recordings on separate channels to allow for more options in post-production) modes.Not having to worry about setting up a physical receiver to link these mics to iOS devices could help streamline things quite a bit for creators. And I can always get behind companies adding handy features to existing products without pushing customers to buy new models. Thats good for the environment, your wallet assuming you already have one of these mics and probably the companys reputation. An all-around positive update.

Apple is planning a major update for its Podcasts app. The entire app is switching to the company's HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) video technology. Previously, it streamed video in various formats like MOV, MP4 and M4V. This provides several benefits for the end user. It lets people switch seamlessly between watching and listening, in addition to offering a horizontal full display option. It'll also make both video and audio streams available to download for offline viewing. This wasn't possible with the previous streaming method, which pulled content from an RSS-like feed. The technology integrates picture-in-picture for multitasking on products like the iPad. Finally, the updated app will automatically adjust the picture quality to ensure smooth playback in various network conditions, including both Wi-Fi and cellular. The update will be available on most platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, visionOS and the web. It's in beta right now, but the company plans a major rollout this spring as part of the upcoming 26.4 operating systems.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/apps/the-apple-podcasts-app-is-switching-to-http-live-streaming-video-technology-182605612.html?src=rss
