Big 12 Conference Uses Newtek Tricaster for Championship Weekend

The NCAA Big 12 Conference is using NewTek’s TriCaster portable live production system to produce and stream Big 12 Championship events live on www.Big12sports.com this weekend.

TriCaster allows users to produce network-style live video, and distribute the event simultaneously to Web, video and projector. A single operator or small team can produce a live show while switching between as many as six cameras with two VCR’s, multi-channel effects and NewTek’s proprietary LiveSet virtual sets.

With NewTek TriCaster, Big 12 fans will gain exclusive on-line access to the Kickoff Luncheon, Coaches Press Conference, Legends Reception, and Post-Game Show.

“To many, college football is a more than just a sport, it is a passion, they can’t get enough,” says Philip Nelson, senior vice president of strategic development NewTek Inc. “With its portability and ease of use, TriCaster is a proven method for delivering extended coverage and unprecedented access to events.”
