3Play 425 is NewTek's entry point for instant replay and slow motion, delivering six channels in a professional, HD replay system for sports producers with tight budgets.
The 3Play 425 is a replay solution designed for small spaces in just 2RU, and its hardware control surface with T-bar, jog wheel and speed presets has a small footprint in a countertop, production vehicle or control room environment.
The system captures four angles of live camera feeds that you can mix with assets from your media library, and records all angles to removable storage so you can import, export, or repurpose your game footage for later use.
Local broadcasters, colleges and production companies who want to make the transition from shooting sports, to full-tilt live sports production know that fans want to be more than spectators. Diving catches. Game-winning plays. Out-of-bounds calls. Without the right production tools, they're easy to miss.
For years, the cost of those production tools have knocked smaller broadcasters, schools and conferences right out of professional sports coverage ballpark. 3Play 425 delivers the professional instant replay that will put you head-and-shoulders above the local competition, and propel you into the majors.

- Network-quality production in native HD
- Seamless mixing of live video with assets from your media library
- Compact, 2RU design fits perfectly in control rooms and production vehicles of all sizes
