Paul Congo, Executive Director of Access Monterey Peninsula, has spent over 25 years involved in community access television, and along the way, he learned what it takes to succeed in this broadcast field.
“VT[4] LIVE! is the most practical, user-friendly video suite on the market. The fact that a single operator can have such power at his fingertips continues to amaze me. From broadcasting multi-camera live-switched events to one man productions, VT[4] LIVE! ’s flexibility is unbeatable. The price point also makes it wonderful for public access. With budget cycles sometimes years apart, VT[4] LIVE!’s affordability makes it possible to purchase multiple systems for use in training, remote locations, and in studio." |
“But the real value of VT[4] LIVE! is its integration and video quality. Everything’s there: switcher, editor, graphics, even high-end animation capability. VT[4] LIVE! is a system that can be used as a switcher OR an editor OR a graphics station. It combines live switching of up to 24 sources, real-time editing of both uncompressed and DV clips, character generation, painting, both 2D and 3D animation, integrated Proc Amps, Waveform and Vectorscope - even Internet streaming capabilities."
“Bottom line: VT[4] LIVE! is well-designed, stable, and supported by a company that started the desktop video revolution over a decade ago. There is nothing on the market that compares to the power and quality of this suite of tools, and the price point is far below anything else that even comes close.”
News bumpers are a breeze in VT[4].
Bullhead City, AZ, recently began using NewTek's integrated production suite to telecast their City Council meetings on the government cable channel. "The first broadcast using the new system went flawlessly," reported Don Jackson, of Digital Video Productions. "The manager kept breaking out in laughter with excitement as I was doing the switching, and he saw how great our broadcasts would be from now on."
Don used the NewTek suite's graphics capabilities to spice up the telecast: "I created a network-style opening for the meeting using Aura, and made a down-and-dirty flying logo station ID using LightWave. The professional quality graphics really enhanced the show and were quick and easy to achieve with NewTek's toolset." VT[4] LIVE!'s usefulness at TV4 is quickly growing beyond the live broadcast application. "This past week I shot and edited a 15 minute video that was shown to the Council members and the public," Jackson said. "After the video some of the members said it was the best work they'd seen from TV4 and that they want more produced for public consumption."
"VT[3] is the centerpiece of our production, replacing a whole bunch of analog equipment. VT[3] Saves the taxpayers a lot of money."
