Newtek, a company known for its Video Toaster and Lightwave products, garnered a huge crowed at its booth with its new TriCaster box.

Up to three camcorders can be attached and the operator can switch between camcorders, fades, computer input and stored video - while outputting to a projector or the Internet.

In a future article, we will provide full details of the TriCaster and why it may be the killer product for small studios.
