NewTek Announces Portable Live Production Suite
February 15, 2005
Scottsdale, AZ - NewTek has unveiled TriCaster, its new production and presentation tool for video professionals.
TriCaster provides a complete suite of tools for creating and delivering live video presentations at the highest professional production quality - essentially a live production studio in a box that will fit into a backpack, the manufacture describes. PowerPoint support, easy template-based creation of graphics and titles, and television production tools labeled in plain English rather than video jargon allow the user to begin producing professional-quality video within minutes of opening the box.
NewTek's TriCaster allows the presenter to mix live and recorded video sources with titles and graphics, including full-screen graphics and video brought in from another system across the local network. The presenter can simultaneously stream the resulting live presentation to the Internet, output it to video and to a high-resolution video projector, and record it as full-resolution digital video on the TriCaster's internal media.
TriCaster Features Include:
•Portable live presentation from box less than one cubic foot and only 10 pounds
•Connect up to three live cameras, immediately ready for use
•Pull in PowerPoint, graphics, or even full-screen animations from any computer screen on the same network
•Hundreds of templates for easy creation of graphics and titles
•Keying, to mix your graphics with live video
•Dozens of video transitions
•Virtual VCR cues up digital video for live output
•Integrated real-time video editing
•XGA projector output of all sources
•Video signals are scaled up to match the size of projected computer imagery
•Live streaming to the corporate Intranet or the Web
•Output to video, Y/C or composite
•Archive your presentation to hard drive for later playback or editing.
TriCaster will be available in North America in the second quarter for $4,995 USD.
