New Wildmoka features in June 2026 focus on automation, efficiency, and operator autonomy. The clip editing toolbar moves to the right side of the player for a smoother editorial experience. On the automation front, ad removal can now be configured directly in publish templates, and SCTE-35 markers drive end-to-end clip creation and publishing with no manual intervention. Finally, Haivision SRT Gateway parameters are now configurable directly in Wildmoka, eliminating the need to contact support.
What's new in this release:
Clip editor: Editing toolbar new location
Based on customer feedback and in order to improve the user experience, the clip editing toolbar in the new clip editor has moved to the right side of the video player.
How it works: The clip editing toolbar is now located closer to the tool panels appearing in the right-side area of the clip editor. The toolbar is now visible in both live monitoring mode and clip editing mode, but tool buttons are enabled in clip edition mode only.
Note: this feature change only applies to the new clipping experience.
Why this matters: This new location improves comfort and consistency as several of the tools available in this bar are opening a panel on the right side. Having the tool buttons and their corresponding panels closer to each other reduces the mouse distance and risks of mis-clicks.
Feature available since June 4, 2026.
Event management: Automatic ad-removal in templates
Automated ad removal from live event recordings can now be configured directly in publish templates.
How it works: Previously, this ad removal capability existed only via the Clip Assistant menu in the Clip Editor, where users had to open each clip and trigger the action manually. Now, the ad removal can be automated if configured in the publish template.
It enables the following workflow:
- Create a scheduled event with the option "Create a clip at the end of the event", and apply a template configured with auto ad-removal.
- At the end of the live event, a clip without ads is automatically created, ready to be published.
Why this matters: This feature gives digital editors a truly end-to-end and repeatable ad removal automated workflow.
Feature available since June 16, 2026.
Event management: SCTE-35 driven automation
Wildmoka now captures SCTE markers for channel programs, chapters and ad breaks automatically at ingest and turns them into clips inside the platform.
How it works: This feature enables the following workflow:
- Ingest a channel in Wildmoka. The platform automatically detects SCTE markers and creates programs, chapters, and ad break moments.
- These moments appear directly in the timeline view of the Clip Editor for fast access.
- Users can configure automations triggered by these moments to automatically create and publish clips — no manual intervention needed.
Note: if you're interested with this feature, contact your Backlight representative for enabling the feature on your tenant.
Why this matters: This feature offers an end-to-end automated program repurposing: the stream signals what to clip, Wildmoka clips it, removes the ads, and publishes it.
Feature available since June 16, 2026.
Ingest: Haivision SRT Gateway configuration screen
Customers can now configure their Haivision SRT Gateway (passphrase, latency and buffer) from Wildmoka, without contacting their Backlight support.
How it works: In the source management screen, Wildmoka exposes inbound SRT streams ("SRT*" mode) for both Primary and Backup paths. It’s now possible to edit the passphrase, latency (ms) and buffer (KB) fields under each SRT block (Primary and Backup):
- Passphrase — masked input with a show/hide toggle.
- Latency — numeric input, in milliseconds.
- Buffer — numeric input, in kilobytes (converted to bytes when calling Haivision).
Wildmoka will then provision the Haivision route automatically using the auto-generated endpoint and that passphrase, through the Haivision REST API.
Why this matters: Previously, no UI surface allowed operators to set up the passphrase, latency (ms) and buffer (KB) that the platform should use when provisioning the route on the Haivision SRS Gateway, and customers had to contact Backlight support to configure it. Now, Wildmoka administrators can configure their connection to the Haivision SRS gateway by themselves, saving time and reducing support overhead.
