iFast Corporation chooses NewTek and NDI® to create in-house broadcast quality studio
By Jamie G
NewTek’s recent case study highlights iFAST TV’s new 4K NDI studio. iFAST TV was created when iFast Corporation, a wealth management fintech platform headquartered in Singapore had the extra space due to Covid-19. They turned their space into a high-end TV studio and production facility to share time-sensitive financial news to a network of over 520 companies and 10,000 agents and partners worldwide.
APAC Technology Integrator did the installation and made their studio an NDI infrastructure. “The result is a state-of-the-art 150sqm (1500sq ft) IP-based end-to-end 4K studio that provides broadcast-quality content while being optimized to be operated by non-broadcast professionals,” says Ideal Systems, APAC Technology Integrator. At the heart of the studio is the NewTek TriCaster 2 Elite. The TriCaster 2 Elite is the most transformative digital media production solution in the industry. Designed for content creators that require a future-ready production ecosystem that grows with their business, TriCaster 2 Elite provides media input-output flexibility to address the needs of media content producers beyond just broadcast video.
At the heart of the new iFast TV studio is a NewTek TriCaster 2 Elite, whose power and flexibility have enabled many of the operational functions of the studio to be condensed into the unit for effortless operation. This includes Virtual Sets, which allows iFAST unlimited flexibility in terms of creating different looks for different shows using an 8m x 3m chromakey space, while it also provides the video feed to a 5m LED wall in a more conventional studio space. Both virtual spaces and physical walls can incorporate video, graphics, and video conferencing from multiple platforms such as Zoom® and Microsoft® Teams and at multiple resolutions.
