NewTek unveils TimeWarp External Replay Controller

NewTek has begun shipping
TimeWarp, an external replay controller for the NewTek family of TriCaster
products and VT[5]. TimeWarp is a desktop controller that provides clip
selection, marking and playback at selectable speeds, with complete external
control of two digital disk recorders (DDRs).
“TimeWarp’s instant replay
and slow motion is a great benefit for TriCaster and VT[5] production,” said
Andrew Cross, NewTek’s Executive VP, Software Engineering. “Users will quickly
be able to increase the quality and professionalism of their live production
environment without the large, costly learning curves typically associated with
new products.”
TimeWarp replay controller
extends live production capabilities by providing a dedicated operator for
video playback, and even allows for the flexibility of instant replay without
requiring an additional replay box.
TimeWarp, which requires
Software Update 2.0, enables producers to improve production quality by adding
a dedicated replay operator, also record a selected TriCaster or VT[5] input
with instant access to that footage, and it also will surpass audience
expectations with instant replay & slow motion at any venue. It provides
clients with productions that look more professional as well as mark in, mark
out, cue and play back clips without distracting the director.
TimeWarp is available
internationally for $995US. For more information, please visit NewTek or call NewTek Sales at 1-800-368-5441,
