NewTek Flex NDI Control Panel: Everything You Need to Know

AVNetwork recently posted an article detailing all the great features you need to know about the new Flex Control Panel from NewTek. Some of these great features include direct access to video mixing, audio mixing, PTZ control, audio I/O, and talkback.

The NewTek Flex Control Panel is a hardware control surface designed for use with NewTek's line of video production systems, including the TriCaster and 3Play systems. It is designed to provide a tactile, intuitive interface for controlling various aspects of video production, including switching between cameras, adjusting audio levels, and managing graphics and other on-screen elements.

The Flex Control Panel features a customizable layout, allowing users to arrange controls to suit their specific workflow. It also includes a large, high-resolution touchscreen display, providing visual feedback and allowing users to interact with on-screen elements directly.

The NewTek Flex Control Panel is designed to streamline and simplify the process of live video production, making it easier for users to create professional-quality content with minimal effort.

The NewTek Flex Control Panel is designed to provide users with a wide range of control capabilities for live video production, including PTZ control, audio connections, audio and video mixing, and talkback. It is the only NewTek control panel that offers all of these features in one unit, and it can significantly reduce the margin for error when operating a video production system.

The addition of audio I/O also expands the on-board I/O of any TriCaster, allowing users to add external sources directly to the NDI ecosystem. And because the Flex Control Panel connects to a network with NDI, operators can control any video switcher on that network from anywhere, giving them ultimate production freedom.

"Over the course of the last several years, the demand for high quality distributed production has grown beyond measure. We recognize the need for operators to be able to adapt to any workflow and the Flex does just that—all with the power of NDI. Offering greater control and connectivity than ever before, it’s our most flexible and powerful control panel yet." -Chris McLendon, senior product manager, NewTek
