I love finding a band that I’ve never heard of and then the totally blow me away.. I was browsing the Amoeba Records website checking out their live streaming of in-store performances thinking that I should pitch them on TriCaster.

The first band that popped up was a French band named “Revolver”.. I started watching the webcast from a technical viewpoint but midway through the first song, I was hooked! WOW! This 3 piece really has bottled magic!

Here is your assignment.. Watch the webcast.. Then follow the link to buy their album.. You won’t be disappointed!

The Future of Live Sports Production!

Philip — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:05:06 +0000

The world is rapidly changing. Budgets are dropping, sponsors are cutting back.. It seems like everything around us is in decline! Everything except the demand for sports programming!

In this perfect storm of lower budgets but more demand for content, what is a producer to do?

D2 Productions teamed up with live sports producing legend, Joel Kitay to show what the future holds for live sports production..

On the weekend of May 13-15, 2011, D2 Productions teamed up with longtime partner Kitay Productions to produce cutting-edge experimental coverage of college baseball for Conference USA.

Our mission: to produce network-level HD sports coverage within a budget roughly one-third to one-half that of comparable broadcasts. We headed to Rice University in Houston for a weekend series against Memphis. We built the production system on Friday, and then produced games on Saturday and Sunday which aired on CBS Sports Network. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we did it.

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].”
