Whats New In Version 4.8.5

Hippotizer Version 4.8.5 adds new features and functionality to V4 and V4+ systems.

!Green Hippo recommends always backing up all programming before carrying out any software changes.

• Systems currently running 4.4.X, 4.5.X, 4.6.X, or 4.7.X should export all programming, carry out a clean install and then import data into 4.8.X.
• Systems currently running 4.3.3 or older software must clean install 4.8.5; all existing programming and settings will be lost.

• The recommended capture card driver version has been updated. If you have a capture card fitted, please select ‘Yes’ when asked during installation to update your drivers to the correct version.
