Breakthrough Production Device to Play Crucial
Role in Promotion for
Popular Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage Attraction
Anaheim, Calif. (June 11, 2007) NewTek,
Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading video and 3D
animation products, announced that its TriCasterPRO
portable video production device has been chosen by
Knockout Digital Media to stream Disneyland’s
media coverage of its two-day press event to commemorate
the return of the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage attraction
on June 10 and 11. Seventy members of the media from
around the world will participate in this event.
Four TriCaster PRO models will be used to stream live programming
over the Internet for the first time ever from the Disneyland
property. Exclusive Web coverage of the grand opening ribbon
cutting ceremony will also be streamed. Knockout Digital
Media, which has been selected as the exclusive multimedia
production company for this press event, will oversee four
live interactive sets at which video content will be produced
for worldwide press.
"Knockout Digital Media and NewTek make such a great team to take our
events to the next level,” said Jay A. Hatcher, Disneyland’s
Promotional Support Broadcast Manager. “We are excited to bring the
benefits of the TriCasters to the table to take what has traditionally been
a static one camera webcast to a dynamic switched three-camera show. We
will ‘wow’ our media partners while working
within a modest budget.”
“Knockout Digital Media¹s cutting edge approach to live event
multimedia coverage has impressed all of our clients from ESPN to Walt Disney
World thanks to TriCaster. Now we will present another impressive showcase
for the device’s live multimedia content streaming capabilities at
Disneyland,” said Gil Chavez, President, Knockout Digital Media. “NewTek
has been incredible in maintaining its clear vision of
the future of internet television and trailblazing past
the competition with the reliable, portable, and powerful
TriCaster.”
