I didn't post this when it was news but NewTek has done a refresh on the TriCaster Mini. They now ship with Advanced Edition 3.0 and Windows 10. The HD-4i (HDMI inpurts two hard drives and the 7" internal preview monitor has been discontinued. The HD-4 (HDMI, single drive) and the HD-SDI (SDI, dual drive, internal monitor) models continue. There was no change in list prices and the bundles are

"Only use a wireless microphone when there is no other choice". I've said this for years and no one ever listens to me. But the problem is getting worse. The FCC in 2017 sold off a big chunk of frequencies that were popular with wireless mic users (the 600MHz band) to T-Mobile. As soon as T-Mobile starts using the band in your area it becomes illegal to use your expensive wireless mics.

The newly announced mid-range TriCaster is positioned pretty much exactly as the original TC410 vs TC460 was. It more or less the same hardware as the TC1 with a slightly condensed feature set. The list of reduced features is pretty short and depending on your needs may make it the perfect TriCaster. Main Differences vs the TC1: No 4K Support Eight external inputs on switcher vs sixteen

NewTek's press release A little more info, VMC subscriptions start at $795 per month. Live Story Creator lets you go directly from script to prompter to TriCaster automation in one step. It's included in Premium Access.

Just a quick note after the dealer meeting. Much of it was covered in the Dr. cross interview I previously linked to. Big improvements in NDI 4. Record any/all NDI streams. Related to this is that that record function will be harnessed by TriCasters for easy instant replay. The replay function may be a premium access feature. Any NDI streams you record will be synchronized and there will

Interview with Andrew Cross TL;DR: More on the merger. Building the IP Production Monster. NDI 4.0 - Bigger, better, faster, lower overhead, with synchronization and unlimited recording plus even more, more. Unreal Engine plugin for NDI. Easy E-Sports? IP Series as a scaleable cloud service. All ghost, no machine. New Innovative NDI Converter boxes. So you can get video into your virtualized

...and no, it's not an April Fools gag. RedShark has the best take on this I've seen so far. The press release is here VizRT real time motion 3D graphics + NewTek real time everything else. On the face of it the merger looks like a winner to me. I'll update as necessary. Check back for more info after Sunday's dealer meeting. Update: In case you have no idea what VizRT does: Update 2:

This is kind of an 'Inside Baseball' post but I always do a pre-NAB speculative thing so here's this year's. And as always I have no actual inside knowledge I've  just have been observing NewTek for 29 years but they often surprise me so don't make any life-altering decisions based on anything here. There have been big changes to the NewTek TriCaster and 3Play lineup and as we run up to

NewTek recently posted this. The current version of Standard Edition is basically the same. • Adobe Premiere v12.1.0 running on Windows 10 64-bit. For any video formats not supported,use the TriCaster Export tool to convert recording into ProRes 422 format. • Avid Media Composer v2018 running on Windows 10 64-bit. Install NewTek codec pack and theXDCAM AMA drivers for full compatibility. •

You've got your TriCaster session set up precisely as you like, all your content is loaded, you've built a couple dozen lower thirds, setup a bunch of macros and comps. You're ready to go. Then something goes horribly wrong, your hard drive gets corrupted or fails and hours of work are gone. Well not if you had made a backup. NewTek has built in a lot of functionality to help you keep your

It's taken me a c couple of days to digest NewTek's NAB announcements. My predictions were way off in some ways. The big news is not really news if you've  been  paying attention, NewTek is continuing to innovate. It seems the next step in the evolution of their IP based production systems is to (buzzword warning) virtualize them. Now NewTek has always been about "Better Hardware

From the NewTek Announcement:  NDI Scan Converter The new version of NDI Scan Converter provides vastly improved image quality and much, much more. The GPU is now used to capture the screen, and handles the lion’s share of color conversion, processing and NDI transmission. You can now capture all of your system’s desktops in real-time, at full 60Hz and with almost no

It's that time of year again where I go out on a limb and make my predictions for NewTek's new products at NAB. Remember I have no insider knowledge, just 28 years of observing NewTek so I could be entirely off base. Definitely don't make any purchase decisions based on my wild-ass guesses! New low end machine. A sub TC Mini (TC Micro?) machine aimed at the educational market. This may be
