No SX-8. No Problem.
Now you can join Beta Force too!

As many of you know, VT[3] Beta Force hit the streets early this month with resounding success! We shipped the beta with the usual trepidations... how many problems will our beta testers find? Will we be able to fix all the bugs? Is our beta ready for prime-time? We were pleased when we received an enormous amount of positive feedback. Three weeks ago, the only way you could get the software was with the SX-8 expansion module for initial testing.

On Monday, October 29, we're offering Beta Force membership as a software-only upgrade.

VT[3] is now feature complete and tested on the front line by SX-8 owners. We need your participation in the final phase before public release. Numerous Authorized NewTek dealers and end-users have VT[3] systems up and running, and they're absolutely ecstatic about the results! Click Here to view the list of locations where you can experience the interface and the vision that is VT[3]. If you've been waiting to buy a VT, now's the time... it's everything you've ever wanted... you'll be ahead of the pack AND get an additional free stand-alone copy of Aura 2.0! Order from your Local Reseller.

A few comments from the field:

VT Editor:

I believe what all of you at NewTek have managed to do again, is create a truly remarkable electronic canvas. A starting point for millions of visual journeys. I'm humbled and honored to participate."

"You don't need me to tell you this but the competition won't stand much of a chance. I've had the opportunity to use just about everything I would consider NewTek's competition - Velocity, RT2x00, DC1000, DV500, etc. and there simply isn't anything close in terms of performance and power in one integrated package. You guys are delivering the dream!"

VT Witness:

Warning! Warning! Warning!
"Going to a VT 2 Demo can be hazardous to your wallet and mind. You have been fairly warned.
I had promised myself to wait before purchasing my second edit suite until NAB 2002. There was an Expo in Houston, TX where I got the demo of my life. I was truly blown away, especially after having high hopes for my Trinity. My wish list was all there plus some I haven't even thought of. To top it all I got a deal I couldn't refuse because I am a Trinity Owner. I ordered one on the spot. If you see a demo and can't afford to buy a VT 2 you will go mad.
You have been warned. This is not a test. This is an actual warning!"
