Here's a TriCaster user story re-posted by NewTek. Read about the live stream production setup for a university's sports arena run by students using NewTek's TriCaster TC1 and NDI technology. IP production is a game-changer for them!

TVTechnology recently took a look at how live streaming is changing the landscape of options for hockey fans who want to follow more of their favorite sport...
