Nero has just released the Nero 2016, a software suite that gives multimedia fans an advanced all-in-one solution for managing, streaming, playing, editing, ripping copying, burning and sharing files. The Nero 2016 Classic and Nero 2016 Platinum suites provide full support for Windows 10 and introduce over 20 new features which revolve around multimedia streaming functions, the integration of smartphones, tablets and smart TVs, as well as auto-optimized picture and sound quality, alongside many usability improvements and increased performance.

Significant improvements have been made in streaming from and to any DLNA/ UPnP-capable device.

New App: Nero Streaming Player Connects Smartphone, Tablet, Smart TV and PC

The Nero Streaming Player is a new player app for smartphone and tablet that plays slideshows, videos and music on a mobile device directly to a smart TV in the living room. At the same time, it serves as a remote control, browser and playback device for the Nero MediaHome media server. The browsed content can then be sent directly to a smart TV. The new iOS and Android app thus combines the functionality of a PC media server, with the browsing convenience of mobile devices and the high picture quality of large smart TVs.

Nero 2016 Classic

Nero 2016 Classic is an all-in-one multimedia solution. A new video-editing preview function in Full HD quality with the option to turn a second monitor into a preview screen.

The new version of Nero Classic now allows music videos and radio recordings to be imported directly as audio files and to have the sound quality automatically normalized and optimized. Furthermore, improved hardware support for ripping and converting video and audio has been coupled with support for the latest and most popular mobile devices, which can be be selected from a list without having to worry about formats and settings.
