NewTrek TriCaster Honoured In Streaming Media Awards

NewTek, a leader in video and 3D animation products, was chosen as a fan favourite in the 2010 Streaming Media Readers' Choice Awards for its Tricaster portable live production system.
Michael Kornet, Chief Marketing Officer, NewTek, said: "To be a preferred company and product by Streaming Media readers is a wonderful result of why we come to work every day. TriCaster enables everyone from individual artists, MTV, city halls and the Department of Homeland Security to high school teams and professional sports organisations like the NBA D-league, NHL and the NY Giants to attract a larger audience, deepen relationships with fans and deliver network-quality, live streaming content that can't be found anywhere else."
Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen, Streaming Media Editor, said: "These finalists - some well-known, some up-and-coming - represent the best of the best in the eyes of the people who really matter: the people who use online video technologies every day. The fact that over 7,000 people cast more than 58,000 votes in 22 categories is one more indicator of how exciting and vibrant this industry is, and how passionately people feel about the products they use."
In addition to receiving this accolade in the US, NewTek TriCaster was also honoured in the Streaming Media European Readers' Choice Awards, as a finalist in the Best Webcast Platform category. More than 12,000 votes were cast by the readers of the European edition of Streaming Media Magazine to select the winners amongst 241 companies nominated for an award in 12 separate categories.
