NAB. A suite of sports productions that can be transported anywhere easily was presented by Newtek with its 3Play Mini. This portable and lightweight device allows sports video producers to add instant replays, slow motion, sophisticated transition effects, and a wide variety of other built-in, professional-quality production capabilities to their shows without being constrained by space, location, or cost.
3Play Mini allows you to carry out a complete show. Anyone using up to four HDMI cameras can produce instant replays at multiple angles and slow motion, edit featured plays, play stored video, create effects and transitions, post to social media, and much more.
Ready to use, operators can control 3Play Mini with almost any wireless touchscreen mobile device or use an optional 3Play control panel.
"NewTek's 3Play products are already a hit with stadium sports producers because of their ability to generate audience-engaged programs, to project and stream them from a mobile unit or video booth," said Dr. Andrew Cross, President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of NewTek.
He added that "However, there are countless other events that are too far apart or have no structure for larger teams – and frankly the opportunity to consider some system, may never have occurred to those who try to produce small shows with modest budgets."
