Chapter 2 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this NewTek™ product. As a company, NewTek is extremely
proud of its record of innovation and its commitment to excellence in design,
manufacture, and product support. Version 2 of our most advanced live production
system software raises the bar again. You will find it exceptionally powerful and
versatile. This chapter provides a quick tour of its components and features.
SECTION 2.1
OVERVIEW
Time and again, NewTek’s innovative live production systems have redefined broadcast workflows, provided
new creative possibilities, and delivered significant cost benefits. Among other things, NewTek led the way
by introducing integrated devices providing a complete set of tools related to program creation and
broadcast, along with web streaming and social media publishing.
Our products include the most complete, reliable and efficient integrated systems available for live
production and web streaming, with capabilities suited to almost any broadcast need. You can produce and
distribute live video programs from diverse sources in ultra-high definition formats (up to 2160/59.94p).
As well, Support for NewTek’s innovative NDI ® (Network Device Interface) protocol places your new system
squarely in the forefront of IP technology solutions for the video broadcast and production industries. And,
thanks to NDI’s versatile architecture, this does not isolate you in a proprietary ‘walled garden’. NDI’s
astonishing third-party adoption, support for interchange with other IP standards, and extensibility ensure
your investment will
expand your production horizons, rather than limit you to restrictive (and expensive)
alternatives.

LAUNCH SCREEN
The Launch Screen appears shortly after you power up your live production system. This is the command
center where your production projects are configured and launched.
