Los Angeles, CA - January 8, 2004 - NewTek, Inc. today announced the VT[3] Live Production System for Education, a special offer including VT[3], SX-8 Switcher, and RS-8(TM) Controller for $4495US, a savings of $500US off the regular educational combined price of the units, and of $1490US off the regular MSRP. VT[3] is the integrated production suite that provides real-time switching, keying and effects capabilities at uncompressed quality, ideal for live-production applications including newscasts, theatrical productions and sports events.
"We're committed to making professional production tools affordable for education," said Jim Plant, President and Chief Executive Officer of NewTek, Inc. "VT[3]'s complete, powerful and flexible production capabilities provide educational facilities and students the full range of live and post production needs at an unprecedented value."
NewTek's VT[3] includes integrated timeline and storyboard editing, paint, 3D modeling and animation, titling, keying, live-switching and much, much more. Also among the system's editing capabilities are real-time layering and effects for video and graphics in virtually any input standard or file format including DV or uncompressed D1 component video, for the highest possible output quality. NewTek's VT[3] includes a complete suite of virtual equipment created in software, including monitors, decks, switchers, waveform/vectorscopes, audio mixer and more. This virtual equipment provides a comprehensive toolset that is familiar and easy to understand and use for all professional video production needs from on-air distribution to web streaming.
"Our VT[3] system has allowed us to re-energize our in-house TV Studio, which budgetary issues had relegated to serving as a big classroom," said Robert Levine, AV-Specialist for the Media Production Program at Florida State Universities' College of Communication in Tallahassee, Florida. "Thanks to Newtek and their products we've been able to rebuild our TV studio's control room with a single VT[3] system and several tape machines. Now our students can checkout a couple of digital camcorders and do multi-camera productions in our TV studio, and with VT[3]'s innovative 'skins' technology and 'virtual equipment' the learning curve is extremely low - they're up and running in minutes."
NewTek authorized reseller DV Warehouse is showing the VT[3] Live Production System for Education in their booth at the Student Television Network Conference, January 8-10, 2004, in Los Angeles, CA, in the Sheraton Universal.
