Chris Aguilar | The Battle of the Paddle is the premier event in the world of stand-up paddling,a surfing variant currently sweeping the country and its waterways.

Anthony Burokas | With its TriCaster TCXD850, NewTek has put all the functionality of a sports production tractor trailer inside a Mini Cooper Clubman. This Mini spent the fall traveling around the country as part of NewTek TriCasts America “Varsity Tour.” EventDVLive had an opportunity to speak with the lead presenter, Don Ballance, at the tour’s second stop in Dallas.

Since the AirTurn AT-104 hands-free page turner works with Mac or Windows laptops, it’s easy to think of teleprompter text—or even basic speaking notes—that would use this solution.

Since Focus’ FireStore is equally applicable to live production and rapid in-the-field post-production workflows, Focus Enhancements’ expertise in rapid format conversion could be put to good use for VITEC’s MPEG-based product lines, allowing MPEG-2 files to be converted to HDV or vice versa.
