TriCaster at Digital Arts
NewTek today announced the release of TriCaster™ Upgrade 2.5, a software update to its TriCaster BROADCAST™, TriCaster STUDIO™ TriCaster PRO™ and TriCaster portable live production systems. This upgrade adds the ability to record all video in the broadcast industry MPEG-2 Studio Profile, capturing with full 4:2:2 color sampling, which is important when recording chroma key footage. In addition, enhancements to the real-time MPEG2 encoding technology yield significant improvements in quality with a lower compression rate for broadcast quality video recording.
This upgrade keeps TriCaster on the cutting edge of live streaming technologies and improves the user experience for both live and on-demand content with support for Adobe® Flash® Media Live Encoder 3. It also offers a greatly enhanced user experience with H.264 streaming format, simultaneous streams at multiple bit rates and improved streaming quality at reduced bit-rates.
“This upgrade to the TriCaster family of products further solidifies NewTek's leadership position in the video production marketplace,” said Michael Kornet, chief marketing officer, NewTek Inc. “Now it is even easier to reach worldwide audiences with well-produced live content at an unrivaled price point.”
NewTek TriCaster Upgrade 2.5 also offers a customized Flash® streaming profile for easier Ustream connectivity.
“Ustream.tv shares NewTek’s belief that anyone with the desire to get content out to a wide audience should be able to pursue it without the traditional roadblocks of production costs and advanced technical experience,” said Brad Hunstable, founder and president, Ustream.tv. “We are confident that producers will see the many benefits of choosing Ustream.tv and NewTek for their streaming projects.”

How easy to use is the TriCaster? Easy enough for fourth graders.
The staff at WES-TV, with the help of students in grades kindergarten through three, are producing their own daily reports.
"I get to sit back and watch the morning announcements," said Mark Anderson, Westby Elementary School principal. "It's great!"
Hot on the heels of the Lightwave Core announcement comes the news of NewTek's first High Def product the 3Play. The 3Play is a three channel HD/SD instant replay box with a list price of only $21,995. It allows the user to record three incoming streams of video. The magic is that the three streams are synchronized at all times. This means you can record the three streams, while doing a non-destructive, live, cuts only edit. But then you can go back later and re-edit the footage. This makes the 3Play an amazingly powerful HD field recorder.
I will have more details later and Digital Arts will have a demo unit soon. NewTek is doing a live stream to officially unveil the 3Play on February 13. You can sign up here.
