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. This version of our most advanced live
production system software raises the bar again. You will find it exceptionally
powerful and versatile. This chapter provides a tour of its components and features.
2.1.1 OVERVIEW
Time and again, NewTek’s innovative live production systems have redefined broadcast workflows, provided
new creative possibilities, and delivered significant cost benefits. 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 NDI ® (Network Device Interface) protocol places your new system squarely in the
forefront of IP 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 widespread 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 alternatives.
2.1.2
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.
