MTV Wants Their NewTek
« on: February 28, 2012, 12:13:00 AM »
Many of our 9,000+ members own and enjoy a wide range of NewTek products. That means from time to time we may report mainstream NewTek news here on Amiga.org.

News from Peter Pachal via mashable.com

Seven years ago a Texas company called NewTek launched TriCaster, a product that essentially puts all the equipment from a TV news truck into one box. It’s affordable as broadcasting equipment goes, with rigs as cheap as $5,000. When it unveiled TriCaster, NewTek thought its main customers would be amateur broadcasters looking to upgrade from shoestring operations.

Then MTV came calling.

I guess this means that every transition, digital effect, title, graphic, and animation you are about to see at MTV was created entirely with the Tricaster from Newtek. Enter Copernicus!

Is it really sad that I included the echo as I read that??  :roflmao:
