Vizrt 3-Play 3P2 Overview
For sports broadcasters or anyone needing 4K and beyond instant replays from NDI and/or 3G-SDI inputs, the NewTek 3Play 3P2 is a 10-channel sports replay and telestration system that combines with popular live production systems to provide a complete, cost-effective, UHD 4K60 end-to-end IP-based live event production workflow. An included 3Play Control Surface allows for an efficient hands-on approach for added flexibility, while even on its own, the 3Play 3P2 offers an integrated system with a comprehensive set of real-time capabilities.
The 3Play 3P2 supports a mix of eight NDI inputs (via two NICs), four SDI inputs, and two SDI or NDI outputs. A single quad-link SDI output is additionally available for UHD 4K output. The system allows 3P2 and TriCaster devices to access shareable playlists by syncing playlists on the network. With simultaneous capture streams, integrated dual-channel NewTek NDI Telestrator capabilities, playback zoom and tracking, clip publishing, automatic session cleanup, and numerous other features, the 3Play 3P2 provides the connectivity and tools to never miss an angle or important moment. The built-in features allow faster delivery of replays from more angles to provide audiences with optimal viewing experiences.
