NewTek TriCaster™ Honored as Finalist in the 2010 Streaming Media Readers' Choice Awards

NewTek TriCaster also as a finalist in the "Best Webcast Platform" category

NewTek, a worldwide leader in video and 3D animation products, was chosen as a fan favorite in the 2010 Streaming Media Readers' Choice Awards for its TriCaster™ portable live production system.

"To be a preferred company and product by Streaming Media readers is a wonderful result of why we come to work every day," said Michael Kornet, chief marketing officer, NewTek. "TriCaster enables everyone from individual artists, MTV, city halls and the Dept. of Homeland Security, to high school teams and professional sports organizations 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."

"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," said Streaming Media Editor Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen. "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."
