PTZOptics Partners with NewBlue to Enhance Live On-Air Video Production

PTZOptics, a manufacturer of robotic pan, tilt, and zoom camera solutions, has partnered with NewBlue, a developer of video effects, transitions, and titling software. The partnership will give PTZOptics customers a six-month free subscription to try Titler Live 5 Present, a graphics and video overlay package.

The Titler Live 5 software allows import of data from any source to create main titles, lower thirds, crawls, slideshows, scoreboards, and more through a simple, user-friendly interface, according to a release. With Titler Live 5 Present, users can choose over 150 customizable 3D animated graphics or import their own graphics from Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. The software also provides a built-in spreadsheet interface to customize unlimited sets of text, images, and colors and save them for future use. A time-saving feature is the ability to automate, update, and connect spreadsheets, slides, RSS feeds, and clocks.

"PTZOptic leads with their intuitive cutting-edge cameras, designed with intelligent software integration in mind," said Todor Fay, NewBlue's CEO. "This makes our partnership a natural fit for delivering software solutions that seamlessly captivate audiences through polished broadcast solutions."

PTZOptics was established in 2014 with a portfolio of professional cameras for broadcast needs. Visit the Titler Live 5 page to learn more and sign up for the free six-month license.
