About NewTek TalkShow VS-100 Video Calling System, 8GB Memory, 120GB SSD, HDMI/DVI

The NewTek TalkShow VS-100 Video Calling System is designed for television studios and live event producers. Transform every Skype video call with higher video and audio quality to deliver a great production to your audience. TalkShow allows you to initiate or receive calls from any video-enabled desktop, laptop, mobile device, conference room, Internet TV or game console running Skype software.

You can operate all aspects of a live Skype video call in the control room like any other video source, work free of audio/visual distractions such as secondary call notifications and advertisements. So if you're a broadcaster or live producer who wants to include more expert analysis and perspective in your show, you no longer have to spend big budgets on live shots, truck uplinks and heavily equipped news gathering crews or waste valuable time coordinating remote live shots and low-quality phone recordings.

The NewTek TalkShow is the easiest, highest-quality production solution for delivering live Skype video calls in broadcast-ready, full-frame HD. It's a compact, 1RU system that easily integrates Skype TX software from Microsoft with professional production workflows using SDI I/O directly into any switcher. TalkShow brings the control of higher-quality Skype calls into the control room-and leaves nothing to chance out in the field. Operators can enhance picture and sound quality of calls with broadcast-standard video and audio control tools and manage them just like any other in-studio source, immediately connecting you with anyone you can reach online, anytime-in distraction free, broadcast-ready HD.
