At 30 years of age, Samantha is one of the most sought-after TriCaster operators in the U.S. – and IP-based digital production gear is all she’s ever known. Her business, Solis Digital, is booming.

The reason behind her success? It’s simple: “Using a TriCaster,” Samantha says, “I’m always assured of having a great show.”

She is part of a new, fast-rising generation of broadcast professionals who have grown up using TriCasters, and although she has less than a decade of experience in the production business, she’s worked with a wide variety of TriCaster models. Her favorite, so far, is the new 2 Elite – NewTek’s top-of-the-line video production platform, packed with innovative features that offer users groundbreaking functionalities and uncompromising flexibility.

The release of the 2 Elite enabled Solis Digital to adapt to the new production world effortlessly and continue producing quality live event programs for her clients, despite the obstacles imposed by COVID. Due to her expertise with TriCasters and NDI, Samantha kept busy throughout the pandemic.

In addition to Live Call Connect, Samantha says her favorite 2 Elite feature is NDI Bridge – an innovative new feature that allows the TriCaster to share NDI sources between remote sites anywhere using a simple, secure network set-up. “It allows me to peek into other studios anywhere, and I can send video and audio back and forth without having to use expensive gear,” she explains.

On large live corporate shoots, it’s a delight for her to show people who have worked in the video world for decades how easy and efficient it has become with our technology.

Samantha sat down for an interview, where she discusses the versatility of modern production, her company Solis Digital, and why she works exclusively with TriCasters.
