NewTek Debuts New HD Replay System at All-Star Weekend
I’ll have more details once I have a chance to see it in action but NewTek willl roll out a brand new system at the NBA All-Star Game Weekend. It’s 3PLAY multi-channel, HD instant replay and slow-motion system will be used during a practice session of the NBA Development League. We had a sneak peak at the system a few weeks back here in New York City and it can handle either 720p or 1080o slow-mo playback and can hook up to a TriCaster. NewTek’s TriCaster has become a staple at D-League games, allowing the league to produce the games much, much more cost effectively than if they had to rely on a “traditional” broadcast production infrastructure. The TriCaster will also have a role in Phoenix, delivering segments from the NBA All-Star Jam Session from Feb. 12-16 to www.nba.com/allstarscene.com. The segments intersperse fan play-by-play with commentary from NBA TV network personalities.
