4 LIVE PRODUCTION WALKTHROUGH
This chapter provides a quick hands-on tour of the major components and
functions of your NewTek 3Play®. In a very short time, these basics will be
second nature to you.
More detailed reference material on all aspects of 3Play follows in Part II
(Reference).
Having made the essential external connections in the previous section, let’s start your first 3Play®
session, and skim through some important fundamentals:

Session configuration and launch

Monitoring and related features

Recording and marking events

Playing clips

Working with metadata

Creating a highlight reel.
4.1 CREATING A SESSION
We ran through the basics of starting new sessions and configuring devices back in sections 3.5 through
3.7. (If you need to review this information, go ahead and do so now. We’ll look at these items individually
again later in Part II (Reference), too.)
