LPGA Thailand Relies on TriCaster® Mini 4K, 3Play® 3P2 and NDI® IP-Based Video Workflow to Stream 2021 Golf Championship
By Jamie G
NewTek’s TriCaster® Mini 4K and 3Play® 3P2 was the perfect solution for Thailand’s Ladies Professional Golf Association’s (Thai LPGA) 2021 Golf Championship. 2021 was the first year Thai LPGA produced its own live media stream of the championship, usually they hire a third-party video production company. Doing this comes at a big cost for Thai LPGA.
“Our streaming media efforts help us to market the Thai LPGA, our golf course, and the pro golfers we have here in Thailand. There is a value in this marketing effort. With streaming media technology, we can take our events, venue, and competitions to the world community. Instead of always going to play in European or American Tours, professional golfers from Thailand will realize that we have an excellent showcase right here where they can compete. And we can also attract international tournaments that can be played here.”
Mr. Kritsada Tanvilai, Thai LPGA’s Association Manager
The TriCaster® Mini 4K and 3Play® 3P2 utilize NDI® IP-based video networking protocol. TriCaster® Mini 4K is an easy-to-use compact video creation system that lets anyone with a story produce shows with television-quality results and resolutions up to UHD without needing production expertise. 3Play® 3P2 is a complete, cost-effective, IP-based live sports event production and replay system that takes advantage of software-driven video technology and modern networking to provide users with comprehensive capabilities, increased scalability, and flexibility.
NewTek’s solutions offer game changing NDI, are affordable, user-friendly and are packed with features.
“When I found out that NewTek supports NDI technology, I knew it would be a cost-effective solution to our problem. This is because NDI uses standard gigabit ethernet local area networking, which is a game changer for us.” The entire area where the tournament was held was cabled with fiber-optic internet. It was effectively a giant NDI network that powered the whole golf course.”
Mr. Kritsada Tanvilai, Thai LPGA’s Association Manager
Thai LPGA’s investment in NewTek was well worth it. Mr. Kritsada Tanvilai said, “I think this is going to be a good solution for us. NewTek equipment and NDI networking are not complicated, and the results are very, very amazing.”
