SAN ANTONIO, Texas - May 29, 2009 - NewTek Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading video and 3D animation products, today announced that its NewTek TriCaster™ portable live production and virtual set system will be used by LiveSportsVideo.com to live stream the 2009 USA Wrestling World Team Trials from Council Bluffs, Iowa, May 30 and 31 on www.livesportsvideo.com
"We are excited to deliver the 2009 World Team Trials to a worldwide audience," said Rich Bender, executive director, USA Wrestling. "Whether you are a faithful wrestling fan, or a relative or friend of one of the participants, you won't miss a moment of the live action, thanks to NewTek TriCaster."
"Its network-style quality, small footprint and ease-of-use make NewTek TriCaster a practical alternative to a TV remote truck for delivering extended live events to viewers," said Philip Nelson, senior vice president, strategic development, NewTek. "Now, anyone can enjoy continuous online coverage of their favorite sporting event."
Visit www.TheMat.com for the live stream schedule, which includes three sessions of men's freestyle, men's Greco-Roman and women's freestyle competition on both days.
This event determines the athletes who will represent the United States at the 2009 World Wrestling Championships in Herning, Denmark from September 21 to September 27. The nation's best Olympic-caliber wrestlers will be on display, including numerous past Olympic and World medalists, as well as collegiate national champions and All-Americans.

A single operator or small team can produce a live show while switching between as many as six cameras with two DDRs, multi-channel effects and NewTek's proprietary LiveSet™ virtual sets.
