Brandon Graham hosts Inside X, a live webcast from X Games 17.

On the second day of the ESPN X Games, Sports Video Group dropped by to see the TriCaster compound. Check out this behind the scenes article!

NewTek’s TriCaster has a two-fold presence at Summer X Games this year, producing video board shows for the outdoor venues at L.A. Live, as well as ESPN’s live companion webcast. However, the most notable difference this year is not in the quantity of video being produced with the TriCaster, but rather the HD quality.

“This is our third X Games, but it’s the first year that it’s been fully HD,” says NewTek SVP of Strategic Development Philip Nelson. “It’s a fully HD pipeline and workflow, which is huge. If you look at the quality on the screens here it’s not even a comparison [to the previous SD].”

SXSW4JAPAN Live Webcast & Album to Support Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Effort

In response to the devastation of the 9.0 earthquake on March 11th, which has left countless dead and homeless across Japan and the Pacific region, SXSW, NewTek, Livestream and HANSON are working together to rally support from the music industry for disaster relief.

The flagship event, a 12-hour live telecast to galvanize support for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund held during the SXSW Music festival in Austin, Texas, was pulled together in less than 48 hours. Recruiting 40 artists performing more than 60 songs, and viewed by people in 149 countries, the livestream was such a resounding success that the telecast is set to be re-streamed in partnership with AOL and Myspace on Tuesday April 5th at noon CT.

In the short period of the initial campaign, which was started at the SXSW Interactive Event with the original launch of SXSW4Japan.org, online donations have topped $100,000, plus a much larger amount that was directed straight to the American Red Cross via their national text donation number.

Many more artists are contributing to the re-broadcast and resulting benefit album, which is available for purchase digitally on Amazon.com today, Tuesday April 5th. These rare and intimate performances include John “JoJo” Hermann of Widespread Panic, North Missisppi Allstars, The Boxer Rebellion, The Hours, Michael Stipe, HANSON, Ben Folds, An Horse, Natasha Bedingfield, Ozomatli, Alpha Rev, Anna Nalick, Charlie Mars, Cary Brothers, Michelle Branch, Bowling For Soup, Rooney, Amanda Palmer, Andrew WK, Taylor Locke And The Roughs, Jimmy Gnecco, Imani Coppola, Tracy Bonham and more.

On the webcast I performed the song, “Unwind Our Hearts” written by New Orleans singer/songwriter, Paul Sanchez.
