Big-game Capability
Your fans feel the thrill: Hitting the six-channel “sweet spot” for sports producers with four cameras in, two fully independent channels out, and a lightweight price point—3Play 425 gets you the professional, multi-camera replay coverage you’ve been aiming for, without going over the cap. Your Cinderella story is about to be written.
Small Team Player
Your small crew’s in the big league: What your crew lacks in numbers, it makes up for in efficiency, productivity and skill. With the 3Play 425 system’s ease of operation, any utility player on your team, from the rookie to the veteran, can step in and shine. The intuitive replay workflow is easy to learn, so your bases are always covered—no matter who the players are.
Booth and Van-friendly
You have a small amount of space for production: From mobile unit, to press booth, the sleek 3Play 425 network-quality replay system tackles the away games as easily as it powers the home games. Slide easily into any existing production space or produce from places you’ve never been able to before. Every angle is just an SDI connection away.
Multi-game Workflow
Boy, do you got game: Tournament-style action can be thrilling and taxing, but 3Play 425 is up to the challenge. 30 hours of recording capacity, plus removable storage to bring drive after drive off the bench when marathon recording is a must. Session management lets you keep games and clips organized. And, built-in applications allow for importing and exporting media to handle any in-game or post-game file requirements.
Show-stopping Slow Motion
You give fans more of what they want to see: Enjoy network-style presentation with smooth, interpolated slow motion. Break down highlights or analyze pivotal moments—frame by frame, and with incredible detail.
In-game Highlights
You don’t have to wait to show the shining moments: Build highlight or sponsor blocks at breakneck speed for instant replay on command―during timeouts, or going into a break. Package the best plays, critical mistakes, and monumental moments together, and then add transitions and background sound for a strong finish.
Standalone and Switcher-friendly
Your production isn’t an island, it’s an ecosystem: By itself, connected to your existing production setup, or teamed up with TriCaster over a local network, 3Play 425 plays well with others. Plug in 3Play to multiply the inputs of your switcher—and the excitement, or better yet, streamline your entire operation with the NewTek live sports combo and have a complete, integrated live production solution using a fraction of the space―with unmatched mobility.
