2 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing NewTek 3Play™. This system is a member
of the NewTek family of live video production systems and
software, and enjoys a proud heritage. A bona fide video pioneer,
NewTek is justifiably proud of its record of innovation, ongoing
commitment to excellence and superb product support.
This chapter provides a quick tour of the major components of your
NewTek 3Play system.
2.1 OVERVIEW
NewTek 3Play™ is a multi-channel high
definition
video device supporting
simultaneous recording, display and
smooth slow motion replay of as many as
eight audio and video sources .
3Play’s outputs include professional
quality connections capable of distributing
two fully independent video channels
(designated Channels A and B) to external
video systems, such as live broadcast
switching equipment.
Alternatively, these two primary outputs support a video switcher style program-preview
workflow, complete with transitions, and even overlays. Too, 3Play supports selectively
publishing data to internal and external file storage, ftp and social media platforms on the fly.
Realtime A/V output at a given moment may consist of any combination of the following:
I. Live video – direct pass-through of an input source
II. Delayed video – output running somewhat behind live input
III. CLIP LIST – playback of a timed segments of captured (or imported) media
IV. PLAY LIST – playback of a prepared playlist that may include clips or other imported
media and transitions.
