TriCaster can automatically draft every iVGA running on the LAN and seamlessly select any of them as part of a live production, according to the company.
"The Mac platform is a very strong presence in the video editing and graphics production field. Bringing iVGA to Mac-based producers allows them to leverage the power of the award-winning TriCaster to expand their capabilities into live production in ways that just weren't possible before," said Philip Nelson, NewTek Vice President of Sales and Video Marketing. "iVGA and the easy-to-use, affordable TriCaster let Mac users save thousands of dollars that would normally be spent on scalers and scan converters."
NewTek TriCaster is a portable, live production system that elevates live presentations, events, product launches and seminars to network television quality. Turn on TriCaster, and in seconds, you will be mixing component video or camera sources with pictures, titles, technical drawings, and web pages. Import external VGA sources and distribute your live production at once to video, projector, hard drive and web stream.

NewTek Announces SpeedEDIT(TM)
"Worlds Fastest Video Editor" unveiled at NAB 2006.
Las Vegas, NV, NAB, Booth SL526 April 24, 2006--NewTek today announced SpeedEDIT ($495), a resolution-independent video editor designed to work quickly and efficiently on any video project, from web streams to High-Definition. According to NewTek, SpeedEdit works smoothly whether youre editing HDV, DV, MPEG-2, AVI, QuickTime or other popular video formats. Enjoy full resolution on-screen HD outputs with FireWireฎ output to camera or deck.
With SpeedEDIT, NewTek has created a faster way to edit video on a computer. said Philip Nelson, Vice President of Sales and Video Marketing. As a pioneer of the desktop video industry, weve spent years refining digital tools devoted to visual story-telling, and the result is SpeedEDIT.

Resolution independence - edit anything from web streams to HD
Mix SD and HD clips in the same project
Supports all frame-rates and resolutions
16:9 and 4:3 aspect support

Rather than emulating the old school film-cutting workflow found in most non-linear editors, NewTek says they streamline the editing process by eliminating many unnecessary steps. According to the company SpeedEDIT allows all editing functions to be performed directly within its unique timeline and storyboard interface avoiding the intermediate steps of transcoding or pre-trimming content.
SpeedEDIT further accelerates the editing process by dynamically linking Storyboard and Timeline, which allows the performance of many common functions in fewer steps. Ripple edits, clip replacement, segment repositioning, 3D video rotation, color correction, animated titles and Targa sequence playback are just a few of the everyday tasks that SpeedEDIT performs faster than any other professional editing package.
Pricing and Availability
SpeedEDIT will ship Summer 2006 for $495 USD.
