NewTek Audio Control
There was a lot of confusion regarding iPads and audio control surfaces surrounding the NewTek TriCaster at NAB. Unfortunately for a third party developer in Spain, NewTek decided to announce a TriCaster audio control app the nearly the same day as his. So if you are wondering if the two iPad apps that control audio […]
FCC Improves Live Webcast
Kudos to the FCC for finally fixing their webcast. Several in the streaming community, especially those from the United States, found the extremely poor quality of the webcast – ground loop hum, over exposed video, hot audio – an embarrassment. The stream was almost un-viewable. I’m glad that they’ve fixed the video. The audio is […]
Quadrocopter Interview at NAB 2012
Local media hero and fellow TIVA-DC member Richard Harrington (RHED Pixel) interviews the multi-rotor cinema aircraft folk at their booth at NAB 2012.

Roland VR-3 Review It’s Crowded At the Bottom
I really want to like the VR-3. Tempted to get one for the utility kit. But it’s really an odd duck that satisfies only those wanted the most basic capability in web streaming. Having a standard-definition only device in today’s market simply seems strange. Perhaps after I take a harder look at the product it […]
