Vizrt 3P12RU 3Play 3P1 IP Replay System with Control Surface (2 RU) - BDL-000000007

Product Overview

The Vizrt 3Play 3P1 IP Replay System (BDL-000000007) is a 4-channel HD instant replay and telestration platform in a 2 RU chassis, bundled with its dedicated control surface. Designed for live sports production teams who require professional replay capability in an IP-first workflow, the 3P1 accepts both NDI and SDI inputs, outputs over NDI or SDI, and supports full 1080p60 operation across all four channels. The bundle is the recommended starting point for facilities transitioning to IP-based sports replay workflows without abandoning existing SDI infrastructure.

Product Description

The 3Play 3P1 provides four simultaneous record and playback channels, accepting sources both locally via 3G-SDI and over IP via NDI from any point on the production network. NDI outputs extend replay content to TriCaster systems, multiviewers, confidence monitors, or any NDI-capable display on the network without additional distribution hardware. The included control surface provides hardware control for clip marking, transport, and speed selection, enabling fast replay retrieval during live sports broadcasts. Two independent multiviewers are built in, with configurable viewport layouts and multi-angle replay preview windows that give operators visual awareness of all channels without a separate multiviewer system. Dual-channel NDI Telestrator Pro supports on-air annotation with touchscreen-friendly operation from any network-connected device via LivePanel. The 3P1 is rack-mounted in a standard 2 RU chassis, making it a practical fit for mobile production trucks and permanent broadcast facility rack rooms. For regional sports networks, university athletics departments, and smaller broadcast operations building an IP replay capability, the 3P1 bundle delivers replay, telestration, multiviewer, and hardware control in a single integrated package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the BDL-000000007 bundle include the control surface?

Yes. The BDL-000000007 bundle includes both the 3Play 3P1 system unit and the dedicated 3P1 Control Surface.

What is the maximum resolution supported by the 3P1?

The 3Play 3P1 supports up to 1080p60 across all four channels. For UHD 4K60 capability, see the 3Play 3P2 (BDL-000000009).

Can the 3P1 work in a production environment that still uses SDI cameras?

Yes. The 3P1 accepts 3G-SDI inputs locally alongside NDI inputs over the network, making it suitable for hybrid SDI/IP production environments.

How does LivePanel work with the 3P1?

LivePanel is a browser-based software control interface accessible from any networked PC or touchscreen device, allowing remote or secondary operator control of replay functions without requiring physical proximity to the system.

What is the difference between the 3P1 and the 3P2?

The 3P1 supports four channels at up to 1080p60, while the 3P2 supports 10 channels at up to 2160p60 UHD. The 3P2 also adds quad-link SDI UHD output and dual-NIC NDI support for higher channel counts.
