BackEtere 36.1 Adds Full 8K Support Across the Ecosystem
08 January 2026Etere announces version 36.1, a highly anticipated software update that introduces complete support for 8K workflows, including 8K UHD and 8K Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) resolutions across the Etere ecosystem. Delivered as a free upgrade, Etere 36.1 helps broadcasters and content owners prepare for next-generation production and delivery without disrupting existing operations.
With this release, real-time 8K playout, preview, and recording are powered by GPU acceleration for demanding broadcast and live environments, while offline and back-office workflows including content management, scheduling, library, and archive—remain fully supported on standard CPU-based infrastructures. This approach preserves current investments in both GPU-enabled and CPU-only systems, while enabling a smooth introduction of 8K into day-to-day workflows.
With Etere 36.1, customers can manage end-to-end 8K workflows with:
■ Real-time 8K playout and recording on GPU
■ 8K media management on CPU for non-real-time operations
■ Full compatibility across UHD and DCI 8K standards
