NewTek Adds LiveText™ Remote Titling Options to TriCaster
New remote titling system provides producers flexibility to update and make immediate changes during live TriCaster production
NewTek, Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading video and 3D animation products, today introduced LiveText™, an optional accessory for its line of TriCaster™ portable live production and virtual set systems that gives users access to hundreds of ready-to-use professional titles for their live web stream and video projects. LiveText installed on a laptop allows operators to directly control titling options for full pages, lower thirds, scrolls and crawls “on the fly” as video content is being streamed live. The results can be displayed for director approval or put immediately on air.
By allowing a dedicated person to control all titling aspects of a production, LiveText frees up the director to focus on the flow of a live web stream or video project and improves the reaction time and accuracy of new titles added “in show”.
“LiveText will boost the quality of any producer’s output with advanced, flexible and easy to implement titling options that can be performed live,” said Andrew Cross, NewTek’s Executive VP, Software Engineering. “Anyone who has produced a live program, from sporting events to news, knows the creation and management of titles can be stressful. LiveText greatly improves this aspect of the live production experience.”
Pricing and Availability
NewTek LiveText will be available for $995
