THE CONTROL SURFACE
The NewTek 3Play® Control Surface is purpose-
designed to provide responsive and comfortable
control over all commonly used production
functions of the system, without unnecessary
complexity.
Its apparent simplicity is no
accident, and makes using your NewTek 3Play
straight forward, powerful, and trouble free.
In the sections that follow, we'll review the
controls in each group on the Control Surface.
First, we should familiarize ourselves with an important concept related to 3Play's primary output
channels, designated A and B.
Hint: NewTek's optional LivePanel™ system includes a virtual Control Surface along with macro-driven UI
creation tools, all delivered via your network to a web browser.

DUAL CHANNEL REPLAY
In many ways, it would not be incorrect to think of your NewTek 3Play system as not just one, but two
conjoined 'playout' devices. The system features two fully independent audio/video busses and outputs,
referred to as Channel A and Channel B.
