NewTek TriCaster PRO™ to Power Tom Green Live on ManiaTV!
Historic Show is the First Live Comedy Broadcast Over the Internet
San Antonio, TX – June 15, 2006--NewTek, Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading video products, announced today that Tom Green Live, the first live comedy talk show broadcast over the Internet, will use NewTek TriCaster PRO to switch and stream the show. Tom Green Live will be simulcast on ManiaTV! www.maniatv.com and www.tomgreen.com on Thursdays at 11:00 pm EST starting June 15.
ManiaTV! is the ground-breaking brainchild of founder, Drew Massey, who combined an entrepreneurial drive with easy-to-use and affordable production equipment from NewTek to make his idea a reality. The NewTek TriCaster, an Emmy-nominated portable presentation device, allows seamless integration of live cameras, video clips, graphics and titles for simultaneous output to projector, video and the Internet. Designed for corporate presenters, educators and Web broadcasters, TriCaster allows anyone to produce presentations with the dynamics of live television. About the size of a shoe-box and weighing just 10 pounds, TriCaster PRO retails for $6,995
”TriCaster PRO is a powerful production tool to put live content on the web that costs tens of thousands of dollars less than competing products. As evidenced by the Tom Green Live program, it is already beginning to revolutionize Internet TV broadcasting,“ said Philip Nelson, NewTek’s Vice-President of Sales and Video Marketing.
ManiaTV! already reaches 1.5 million viewers a month, driving its need for fast and fresh content. When the production team receives the latest music video or short film, it uses another NewTek product, the VT[4] Integrated Production Suite, to digitize, edit and play it live in just minutes.
Awards
