Data Link
 NewTek
DataLink™ is a TriCaster™ and VT[5]™ plug-in that
dynamically updates titles and overlays from external text
feeds. With DataLink, any Title Template can access data
across the network and, in real-time, display scores, times,
prices or any other rapidly-changing information on screen.
With DataLink installed, ‘key’entries from a field means
that this field will be replaced with a live feed from, for
example, the Daktronics’ clock input. There are no limits to
the number of different feeds on a page, and the entries can
mix with other text.
All text properties, alignment and fonts in the template are
preserved.
DataLink can read input from almost any database, shared
file folders or xml files. DataLink instantly updates your
TriCaster with accurate, immediate data and is already
compatible with existing systems, including Daktronics®
scoreboards, IDS™, OES™ and White Way™ feeds.
The flexibility of auto-updating extends to static data as
well. DataLink monitors changes made within xml files, and
can monitor changes within text files.
DataLink is compatible with nearly all databases accessible
by ADO, which includes database servers that have support
for connection strings. See all compatible applications at
http://connectionstrings.com
Given all this flexibility, you still have the ability to
customize DataLink to your own needs with NewTek’s
freely-supplied Software Development Kit.
