Last summer, NewTek and its popular TriCaster line of production systems further established itself as one of the kings of the college sports video production marketplace with the release of the TriCaster 40. Its under-$5,000 price tag raised the eyebrows of live content creators and opened the door to a wealth of new client opportunities for the company.
NewTek has released Version 2 of its TriCaster 40 production studio.
NewTek is looking to build on that momentum with the announcement of Version 2 of the HD multi-camera video production studio.
TriCaster 40 is designed as a low-cost, entry-level solution that fits right into the wheelhouse of many university athletic departments and communications schools.
What excites us most about the college market, particularly in the US, is the sheer volume of sports games and how cost-prohibitive it has typically been for schools to have all the technology they need to produce a great-looking, high-quality sportscast, says Carter Holland, EVP of Worldwide Marketing at NewTek. Both our TriCaster and 3Play products give schools access to what would normally be found in a multi-million dollar production truck but for a very small fraction of the cost. Any school that wants to produce coverage of their sports teams can now do it on a tight budget, but with the look of a major sports television network.
Version 2 of TriCaster 40 gives students, schools, corporate video departments, small organizations and communities, video bloggers, and independent producers unprecedented access to tools such as customizable animated transitions, network-style titles and graphics, improved file interoperability and, more.
The workflow of the NewTek TriCaster 40.
Colleges will love the ability to not only create but customize transitions and effects, using something we call Animation Store Creator, adds Holland. In addition to the many transitions that come preloaded on the TriCaster, users can also easily create and customize their own graphics with their favorite applications and easily import them into TriCaster for beautiful full color and full motion overlays even warped video mapped against any 3D surface for truly incredible realism. This is the kind of stuff that has really only been available to very high-end broadcasters until now.
According to Holland, the latest additions to Version 2 came from conversations with clients, many of which work in the college space.
When talking with these customers, one of the most common requests has been for more graphics and visual capabilities that enhance the video footage with branded elements, making the look of their shows feel like something you might see on network television, he says. We've responded to that request with version 2 of TriCaster 40, incorporating a wide variety of templates to create and customize full color graphics, animated transitions, and pristine titles all of which are common branding attributes in a network broadcast. There are many other enhancements as well, but the primary focus was to empower this group of customers with more creative and visual control so they can produce content that looks, feels and engages their audience with the same kind of experience they get when they watch traditional TV.
