Announcing Carousel 5.2.3

We are proud to announce the release of Carousel 5.2.3!

This release contains resolutions to some conditional bugs, seemly occurring sometimes, under a full moon, in certain time zones. Obviously I am kidding, but honestly these pest are our favorite to squish, release, and dare I say forget. Among this special breed were the analog clock and DisplayEngine crashing errors, which have now been put to rest. Also, the audio and video sync drift, along with the Ad Astra/EDS integration has been resolved.

Thanks to Tightrope Creative, 5.2.3 contains new templates for dynamic bulletins. They
have also created fresh backgrounds and templates for standard bulletins, which will be
included in your download, requiring you to upload them into Carousel.

To request this update, please email our support team at support@trms.com. In your
email, please include the following items:

-Your name and organization
-Your current version of Carousel

If you haven't yet filled out a customer registration form, please head over to http://

Thank you!
