Recording Capacity
Protect every media asset and simplify post-production editing with simultaneous ISO recording of up to 4 live video sources. Save to the internal 3TB drive or prep for quick transport by backing up to the removable 3TB media drive.

Visuals that Impress
Any video, graphic, animation, effect, replay or camera feed-or any live source brought in over the network-can be keyed over in full motion and positioned, scaled and cropped to create the highest-impact visuals.

Multi-Angle Switching
Keep all the action right in front of you and the audience, with built-in multi-view monitoring, preview and switching of every live video source and captured content channel-from either the UI or the controller.

Show-Stopping Motion Control
Use your existing HD and SD cameras for the most pristine slow motion replay, with a breakthrough super-high-performance algorithm, plus T-Bar and jog-wheel control of playback from nearly a standstill to double speed, backward and forward.

Social Sports
One-touch publishing directly to social media networks like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube lets your branded content gain more exposure while growing your fan base to the largest online communities.

Capture

Automatic Replay Recording
Forget to press record? No problem. When you set your first Mark In or Mark Out point, 3Play automatically triggers the Record button to capture incoming video signals.

Synchronized, Continuous Capture
When you press the Record button, configured sources are continuously captured and stored until you manually deactivate recording. Freely focus on 3Play's other functions without interrupting capture.

Multi-Channel Recording
3Play simultaneously records multiple channels of video at native resolution. Capture every angle of live action for instant replay, playback or archive.

Playout
Simultaneous HD/SD Output
Record and playback content in HD and SD simultaneously, with configurable output resolutions.

Display Output
Supply an output signal from your production to a projector, scaling system or display to present to an in-house or local audience.

Interpolated Slow Motion
Amplify the intensity of highlights or analyze the action frame by frame with smooth, interpolated slow motion. Replay the action at half-speed, quarter-speed and more with incredible clarity and detail.

Multi-Speed Playback
Choose to replay captured clips or roll imported media in real time or at variable speeds. Show the action again at game speed or alter the playback rate for dramatic emphasis.

List Playback
Choose and compile clips for sequenced playback. Create highlight reels or build blocks of content, then hit play to roll from one clip to the next automatically.

Clip Playback
Capture and mark live action as 3Play events, then replay clips from multiple angles. You can also import clips and operate 3Play as a media server.

Delayed Output
Once you begin recording, you can initiate playback whenever you like. Output recorded video seconds, minutes, even hours after recording starts.

Live Output
Send any incoming video signal directly to one or both output channels to supply a live feed to downstream displays or production systems.

Dual Playout Channels
3Play provides two fully independent, simultaneous playout channels for output, each capable of supplying a live feed or playback of recorded content to a downstream display or production system. It's like having two playback devices in one.

Control

MIDI Support
Make automation of your production even easier or breakout control tasks to additional crew with 3Play's extensive MIDI support. Add one or any number of MIDI devices that fit your application and budget, assign macros to controller buttons and provide dedicated control over 3Play operations-even combining commands with a TriCaster on the network or meshing them with other live elements like sound, lighting, effects and more.

Macros
Make commonly used series of commands automatic or just simplify complex ones. Record any sequence of operations as a macro event, then trigger with a mouse click, keystroke or MIDI button press.

Control Surface
Take a hands-on approach to 3Play operation. More intuitively and accessibly tap into all the capabilities the system has to offer with the companion control surface.

Transport Controls
3Play's fundamental playback controls to stop, play, cycle and scrub through clips let you navigate through your stored media with ease.

Operation

Highlight Reel Creation
Build and organize clip sequences in real time using the Play List. Configure audio settings and playback speed for each clip selected, add transitions, then select a background music track-and you have a highlight reel that's ready for in-show playback or export for later use.

Multi-Angle Clip Preview
In addition to monitoring all incoming live feeds, you can preview every angle of recorded clips simultaneously with 3Play 4800 and 3Play 440. Simply turn on the embedded clip monitors and preview stored footage in the user interface, multi-view display or both.

Program-Preview Workflow
Use 3Play's dual playout channels in tandem to enable switcher-style operation-cueing and preparing content on one channel, outputting the other and using your choice of effects to transition between the two-to simplify your workflow or enhance production value.

Signal Processing
Go end-to-end with zero signal degradation. 3Play processes signals at their native resolution, meaning no in-between down conversion or up conversion that can affect image quality.

Session Format Support
3Play supports live production in all industry-standard interlaced and progressive scan formats up to 1080p, with a variety of frame rates to choose from.

Multi-View Monitoring
Observe all incoming camera feeds and playout signals without an expensive, space-eating bank of monitors. You can even customize your screen layout to align with your preferred view of the action.

Visual Indicators
Real-time feedback in the form of color-coded visual indicators provides live cues while a production is in progress. Easily see the cameras currently recording, audio levels of incoming signals, clips currently displayed and more.

Event Marking
Start and end events and clips at the exact frame you want with pinpoint Mark In and Mark Out controls. Each marked segment enters the Clips List as an event, a collection of the actively recording camera angles and becomes available for playback.

Asset Management

Bookmarks
Mark key points in clips using the timecode bookmark system. Bookmarks are marked independently of In and Out points, so your original clip remains intact as you create specific points to jump to in the recorded video.

MAM Platform Integration
Integrate 3Play with supported Media Asset Management (MAM) platforms, including axle Gear and Square Box Systems CatDV, to optimize any facility or workflow with dependencies on shared use and management of stored media assets.

Tagging Engine
Create your own coding system for instant metadata entry using the intelligent tagging engine. Assign keywords to teams, players and more, then log clips with just a couple of clicks or button taps to stay organized and on top of the action.

Event Filtering
Search for and filter clips by metadata descriptions to quickly and easily find the assets you're looking for. Simply enter keywords and 3Play will display only the events with matching text.

Metadata
Enter custom descriptions for each clip to easily identify, organize and manage 3Play assets.

List Organization
Organize all of your recorded content and stored media across multiple pages in both the Clips List and Play List, arranging assets by team, player, play type, time period and more.

Workflow

Production Clocks
Keep tabs on production time with a primary clock matched to the current timecode, as well as a secondary clock matched to the custom-configured Start or End time and hit every mark your show needs to hit.
