22.3.14 AIRSEND™ CONTROL
AirSend™ is the software API (application programming interface) providing network A/V support in
NewTek products. Various systems and software (both native and third-party) can take advantage of
AirSend to send and receive control instructions. As one example, NewTek’s own 3Play™ instant replay
natively systems support AirSend.
AirSend commands have pre-assigned to TriCaster 8000CS. The following table lists control combinations
that trigger AirSend operations and provides both a brief description of each operation and, for reference,
the AirSend command invoked.
