SDI-SD users
aren't left behind as NewTek ups the ante with the six SDI inputs of
the
TriCaster Broadcast™. That's right, six inputs with your choice
of SDI, analog component, S-Video or composite along with AES/EBU and
embedded SDI digital audio along with four XLR mic/line inputs plus a
analog stereo input. A full compliment of analog and digital video
and audio outputs are also available.
The TriCaster Broadcast is
quite simply the smallest, most sophisticated portable SDI-SD
production system on the planet and at an unbelievably low price
point. While the other guys are still trying to duplicate the
capabilities of the original TriCaster NewTek takes a giant leap
ahead and changes the game.
The pristine video via SDI makes LiveMatte chroma keys
and LiveSet virtual sets even more eye-popping. Long SDI or AES/EBU
cable runs are no problem using inexpensive RG6 coax and are noise
free making the Broadcast''s SDI perfect for the larger
venue.
Live Camera
Instantly incorporate live video, taking component, Y/C or composite
video from the camera and plugging straight into TriCaster''s
convenient front connection panel.
As soon as you plug in a camera, its video appears on-screen and is
ready for use in your presentation. Quickly Connect up to three
cameras for quick and compelling digital video that can then be sent
to tape, to a projector or to the Internet. Live events become much
easier and faster to set up thanks to TriCaster. Advanced controls
are available.
iVGA
This exclusive NewTek technology is like nothing you've ever used
before. Each computer runs a small application and is seen by
TriCaster across the local area network.
The TriCaster producer can then choose among any of those computers,
bringing it into the presentation in real time. This goes way beyond
sharing graphics, though. iVGA is capable of bringing in full-screen
images, animations and even video playing on the outlying computer
with incredible clarity and smoothness.
The possibilities are
exciting:
- A co-worker breezes into the meeting with the
latest ad storyboards or initial product videos. No longer do you
have to halt the meeting for him to connect his system to the
projector; just plug into the room's network connection, and with
his launch of iVGA, he can drive the video, while you add this to the
presentation.
- Financial
information can change right before your eyes. One of the presenters
displays a ticker page on his computer, which can be viewed by entire
group with a single click.
DDR
Animations and
edited videos greatly enhance your live production, illuminating your
points with moving pictures easily worth much more than a thousand
words. TriCaster offers total freedom to record, edit and playback
with its Virtual DDR. Even easier to use than your VCR at home, just
drop in a video clip and when you're ready to make it live, select
and play it instantly. With a big, friendly button just for the
Virtual DDR on the video mixer panel, cutting between clips and live
cameras is a snap. The TriCaster Broadcast has two DDRs for even more flexibility.
Streaming
Encoder/Server
Never again will
you have to limit your audience to the people in the room.
Today's corporations are quietly discovering the competitive
advantage that Internet streaming provides. Further, live streaming
is more beneficial than on-demand, as viewers report stronger
positive impressions when watching a live event.
Let TriCaster help your key accounts, hot new leads,
vendors and many others join in on your important meetings or
events.
Audio Mixer
Running a presentation with live speakers and recorded footage
requires flexibility and full control of audio, and TriCaster has
simplified this to a few controls.
Each source (mic/line 1 thru 4, AES/EBU, SDI embedded audio and both DDRs) has it's own audio level
controls and a single output volume control. Verify the quality of
your signal with on-board audio meters as well as with the integrated
headphone.
Each input has Balance,
Equalization and Solo output. The microphone inputs also have an
automated Talk Over button, to quickly reduce the volume of all other
inputs, giving that microphone level priority. TriCaster PRO adds
balanced audio and phantom power.
Edit Media
Bring
in music or audio files through the capture panel or across the
network, and bring them into your project without importing or
converting anything.
TriCaster
accepts .wav .MP3 and DV audio for immediate playback with control
over left and right channels, a master audio slider and even a visual
stereo positioner.
Overlay
You can't tell the players without a program, and the fastest way to
identify members and messages is with overlay titles. Quickly create
key points, identify all participants on-screen and do it with
professionalism. TriCaster has a simple click-and-replace text
update. These pages can be easily created, and all templates have
been professionally designed, so it is guaranteed to make you look
good.
Quickly browse through your
many styles of lower or full-screen graphics, quickly replacing the
stand-in text with your own, and it’s ready. Then, access any page
with a click, and smoothly fade titles and text in and out. Create as
many pages as you''ll need from the various pre-loaded styles in
TriCaster. Custom styles can be created using any graphics program
and a text editor.
Video
Effects
TriCaster is ready-to-go with hundreds
of professional transitions: wipes, peels, 3D page curls and much
more can be dropped into the Transitions folder and easily arranged.
All transitions serve dual duty, in the switcher and also in the
real-time editor. You can choose which order the transitions will be
recalled, and auto-advance to the next in line. Move to the next
level of portable live production with TriCaster. Using TriCaster VM™
you can use the transition selector to quickly dial in the effect
you’d like.
Live Matte and LiveSets
Broadcasters have known for years the impact of combining live images
with background video and graphics, and do so by replacing an
onscreen color with video, or keying. You see it every night in TV
weathercasts. Key in real-time with the switcher or key it later in
the editor. Let TriCaster help bring along the sophistication of a
television studio to your next production. Or load up full blown
Virtual Sets with both background, foreground and even a second on
screen source. LiveSets can make even a small production look big time.
Projector Out
NewTek TriCaster brings a flexibility and ease to presentations with
three simultaneous outputs: Projector, video and Internet.
With the included projector support, plug into
TriCaster’s DVI digital output, and project in high resolution.
Mixing video sources with technical data, live web pages and
PowerPoint™ is easier than ever before, since video is scaled up to
your projector’s resolution. Don’t worry about connections and
extra gear; TriCaster brings everything you’ll need for a
professional production.

as all pictures and videos sequence one after another. This is the
best place to start editing, as you can quickly re-arrange and then
play at once to see the changes.
Timeline Power
The power of the Timeline is how it can create picture-in-picture
effects, add titles and quickly create multiple video and graphics
layers.
Easily add transitions, and
your project is now ready to be used in several ways; output as a
digital video file, send to the projector or stream to the Internet.
While the Storyboard is fast and simple, this is still a very
powerful editor, capable of any special effect you'll need.
