NewTek

TriCaster is a portable live video production system developed by NewTek, a San Antonio-based company that designs innovative and affordable video and 3-D products.

"Its basically a video production studio in a box," said Rex Olson, vice president of content development at NewTek.

TriCaster allows a single operator to connect up to eight cameras to the system and add graphics and built-in virtual sets while streaming broadcasts live on the Internet.

Many universities and colleges have begun incorporating the system into their curriculum.

"[TriCaster] gives students the equivalent of a television production studio, but it's all in one system. So colleges are able to buy multiple systems so students can get more hands on production time," said Olson.
