New features in Burli NE in 2025

  • Studio-quality Bulletins Recorded Anywhere - Record your bulletins at the kitchen table and they’ll sound as if they came from your fanciest studio.

All in one simple function.
  • Software based licensing - It’s easier than ever to run your broadcast servers in a data center or VM. Burli NE offers fully software-based licensing - no hardware keys required. That means Burli NE’s concurrent-user licensing is now simpler and more flexible than ever.
  • Space Monitoring - Nothing fills quite so quickly as newsroom media storage. Keep a closer eye on where your storage is being used with expanded storage monitoring tools.
