The Challenge

One of the biggest challenges facing the modern library is how to stay relevant in an increasingly wired world. Social networking, on-demand video, live streaming, 'pod casting, vlogging - you've seen the buzz-words.

Many of your patrons are online everyday and even more of your potential patrons are. The question is can you get them to connect with your library? Can you get them involved?

Yes, you can.

Live stream events from your library, produce promotional or instructional videos, document and archive historic events or get patron produced videos on your library's web site. In short make your library a vibrant part of your community's daily life even for those who never set foot inside the building.

Digital Arts can help.

The NewTek TriCaster is the perfect way to locally produce media that will enlighten, inform and engage your community in ways that may surprise you. Set it down, connect a few cables and you can be live streaming in minutes. The TriCaster is a complete, self-contained video production system. Basically a TV station in a box that's so easy to use that anyone can be up and running without intensive training or experience.

Everything you need.

The TriCaster has all the tools you need to produce professional quality, eye catching video. Switch between multiple cameras, mix microphones, add music, overlay graphics and text and then stream it all on the web. You can also record to the internal hard drive for later editing and uploading.

Some models of the TriCaster have a virtual set feature so by shooting your video on a blue or green screen you can place your on-camera 'talent' in virtual environments and get that expensive broadcast 'look' without building elaborate sets.
