“In terms of market leadership, innovation and value, Daktronics and NewTek are uniquely qualified to deliver the means to integrate live video presentations to high school athletic competitions,” said Chuck Silber, NewTek Senior VP, Worldwide Sales. “We are excited to see that TriCaster continues to revolutionize the way people enjoy sports at all levels, from enhancing the experience in the stands to enabling games to be streamed live over the Internet.”

TriCaster™ enables sports organizations, corporate communications departments, broadcasters, schools and others to provide a new level of extended programming and content to their fans, partners and other audiences. Now, a single operator can produce a live show switching between as many as six cameras with two VCR’s, multi-channel effects, and NewTek’s proprietary virtual sets and keying technology using TriCaster. With it, virtually anyone can produce network quality live video, which can be distributed simultaneously via video, web stream and projector.

”The technology from Daktronics and NewTek will allow any high school to elevate their game-time presentation closer to the level of a college or professional sporting event,” said Randy Uehran, Engineering Manager for Daktronics. “NewTek’s TriCaster and our dynamic scoreboards and controllers combine to make the most formidable and cost-effective means for schools to integrate live video and graphics, enhancing the fan experience.”
