The TriCaster character generator, which now includes DataLink, provides added convenience and features for HD titling and graphics

This update to LiveText provides increased workflow support with the ability to send HD titles and graphics to any TriCaster portable live production system. LiveText 2, remote titling software lets operators pre-produce graphics and titles off-site. With included DataLink, it also delivers real-time display of scores, times, prices and other rapidly changing information, providing instant updates to TriCaster.
LiveText 2 also allows for a shared workload, by creating the ability to add a dedicated title station. Communicating directly with TriCaster, LiveText 2 provides scrolls, crawls, title pages and lower thirds, to a live production or live stream.

NewTek LiveText 2 is available now at a retail price of US $995. Registered owners of LiveText or DataLink may upgrade to LiveText 2 for US$295. Owners of both LiveText and DataLink will receive the LiveText 2 upgrade at no charge. For more information, visit www.newtek.com, or call NewTek Sales at 800-368-5441.
