Big Look for Local Sports
Hitting the six-channel "sweet spot" for sports producers with four cameras in and two fully independent channels out, 3Play 425 gets you the professional, multi-camera replay coverage for which you've been aiming.

Show-Stopping Slow Motion
Give fans more of what they want to see: network-style, dramatic plays in smooth, interpolated slow motion. Break down highlights or analyze pivotal moments frame by frame and with incredible detail.

In-Game Highlights
Don't wait to replay the shining moments. Build highlight reels or sponsor blocks at breakneck speed for on-command instant replay to fill timeouts or lead into a break.

Capture Every Angle
Take on additional productions sans a time out, with simultaneous ISO recording

of up to 4 live sources, plus 40 hours of recording capacity. Repurpose all of your captured footage for additional post-game coverage and review.

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

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.

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

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.

Play List Export
Build a sequence of clips or a highlight reel in the Play List, then render as a single file available for playback from the Clips List and export for transfer or archive.

Media Export
Optimize stored media files for virtually any post-production purpose, with a versatile Export Media module that converts files into the most appropriate format or formats for their next destination.

Media Import
The Import Media module enables batch import of files with optional transcoding and automatically categorizes and distributes incoming files to the appropriate locations for production use. All media formats apply. 3Play will play them.

Media Browser
Use this familiar interface to navigate through stored media files, with intuitive organization and filtering for efficient, effortless asset retrieval.

Channel Info
View critical information about the signal currently assigned to the output channels, including the control mode, timecode, playback speed and more.

Timecode
Scrub through and sequence recorded files quickly and easily with embedded timecode. 3Play can generate a local timecode from the internal system clock or support an external linear timecode (LTC) reference.

Configuration
Proc Amp Controls
Make subpar sources look better-and all of them perfectly consistent. Adjust color characteristics and levels for input sources, including brightness, contrast, hue and saturation, as well as white balance settings, to perform a quick-fix for visuals and boost the look of your camera angles.

Recording Configuration
Freely choose the destination drive for each active recording and other assets associated with your 3Play session.

Per-Asset Configuration
Fine-tuning at your fingertips. Freely configure input connection types and names, audio settings, color correction, clip settings and more to your specifications. 3Play's configuration options are extensive, easy to use and customizable to your particular needs.

Visuals
Play List Transitions
Roll from clip to clip in the Play List using hard cuts or include transitions between clips for added effect.

Audio
Audio Configuration
Each 3Play video input supports independent configuration of the audio channel and audio input type for the simultaneously recorded sound, enabling you to standardize the audio between recordings or pair an audio source with a specific input for capture.

Mix-and-Match Audio Inputs
Use every digital or analog audio device within reach to capture nat sound, commentary and more. 3Play accepts any combination of supported audio connections for flexible setup and top-quality sound.
