NewTek TriCaster qualified for live production with Avid ISIS 5500 storage

Avid's ISIS 5500 collaborative storage system for post-production and broadcast workflows is now qualified for live production with TriCaster routers and 3Play 4800 sports production replay solution. Using ISIS 5500 as the recording drive for live sessions enables media to be immediately available to a variety of devices simultaneously including editors, transcoders and playout. The ISIS 5500 was tested with single and mirrored TriCaster 8000s. The mirrored configuration opens up a number of new workflows providing higher scale and redundancy for multi-screen productions. ISIS enables the mirrored TriCasters to playback the same streams simultaneously. Simply install the ISIS client on NewTek TriCaster or 3Play and configure it to login and mount the required ISIS workspaces. The combination of ISIS 5500 and the NewTek portfolio allows up to 8 streams to be recorded and simultaneously play 2 streams and received 2 channels of graphics simultaneously, with the added benefit of being able to instantaneously share and monetize content. Gigabit Ethernet provides high speed, reliable connectivity between NewTek and ISIS.
