NewTek TriCaster™ awarded
CGW Editor’s NAB Pick.

San Antonio, TX – July 28, 2005

TriCaster wins Fifth "Best of Show" Award

NewTek, Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading video and 3D animation products, was recently presented with an "Editors' Pick of Show" award from Computer Graphics World magazine for its Portable LIVE production System, TriCaster.

After NAB, Computer Graphics World editors Karen Moltenbrey, Courtney Howard, and Jeff Sauer assembled to discuss the many innovative technologies and products that were demonstrated at the show. "We each submitted our top picks for the hottest products at NAB2005, and those which would have a significant impact upon the industry," said Senior Technical Editor, Courtney Howard. "When the votes were tallied, TriCaster was among the top 7 hottest and most innovative solutions at NAB 2005."

At the NAB 2005 Conference, Newtek demonstrated the easy use of TriCaster as an all-in-one solution for presentation and live production. With a simplified interface labeled in plain English rather than video jargon, TriCaster is easy for anyone to learn and operate. Users can create compelling productions with the impact of live television within minutes after turning it on. TriCaster offers real time live production and editing, PowerPoint support, easy to use titling templates, and simultaneous output to video, projector, and streaming.

"All industries from visual effects to education face the same challenges of communicating, archiving and distributing the intellectual property," said Philip Nelson, NewTek’s Senior Director of Video Marketing. "We are honored that Computer Graphics World Magazine recognized the importance of TriCaster as a uniquely powerful and affordable toolset that facilitates better communication and presentations."
