TriCaster Reviews

Printer FriendlyTell a Friend
<p>Here are someTriCaster™ reviews we've collected. After reading
through all of them what strikes us is the way NewTek has addressed
issues that the various reviewers brought up. From removing the
vestigial windows audio connectors on the front of the original
TriCaster to additional features in successive models and the TriCaster 2.0 upgrade.<a href="http://www.streamingmedia.com/article.asp?id=9094&amp;c=2"><br></a></p><blockquote><a href="http://www.streamingmedia.com/article.asp?id=9094&amp;c=2">StreamingMedia</a><br>In
the grand scheme of things, I really have nothing but good things to
say about the TriCaster. It’s a neat little box with a ton of
functionality. The price is staggering, given that the only box that
comes close, the Anycaster from Sony, is priced at $20K. If you’re
looking for a compact system to produce live broadcasts, you should
definitely consider the TriCaster.<br></blockquote><blockquote><a href="http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1835565,00.asp">ExtremeTech</a><br>We'd
like to see an unbundled version that provides the software and the
video-processing board—with external output connectors—so we could
build our own TriCaster.<br></blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">Maybe someone should tell them about the VT!</span><br><a href="http://digitalcontentproducer.com/fieldprod/revfeat/video_newtek_tricaster/"><br></a><blockquote><a href="http://digitalcontentproducer.com/fieldprod/revfeat/video_newtek_tricaster/">Di</a><a href="http://digitalcontentproducer.com/fieldprod/revfeat/video_newtek_tricaster/">gital Content Producer</a><br>When
NewTek introduced one of the first digital video devices way back in
the late 1980s, it started on the road to creating a cost-effective
solution that would include the three most important aspects of
professional video and television production. With the TriCaster,
NewTek has reached that destination. Having been around the DV block,
I'm not easily impressed. But I was blown away by what TriCaster brings
to the video creation table. If you had to price it out, it costs maybe
a quarter of what it would cost to purchase each piece of production
equipment separately.<br></blockquote><blockquote><a href="http://www.eventdv.net/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=37909">EventDV</a><br>NewTek's
TriCaster Pro builds on the solid base of the initial TriCaster but
adds features that make it worthy of use in a professional environment.
The $6,995 price point positions the product in the very low-end price
range of professional equipment, but the features-like those of its
Toaster ancestor-rival mid-range professional products. Thus, the
TriCaster Pro helps re-establish NewTek as a company whose innovations
will once again push the boundaries of what a new generation of event
videographers will be able to provide for their customers.<br></blockquote><blockquote><a href="http://209.85.215.104/search?q=cache:cmvXFuRCObkJ:anthonycoppedge.com/pdffiles/NewTek_TriCaster_Review.pdf+tricaster+review&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;cd=8&amp;gl=us&amp;client=firefox-a">Anthony Coppedge</a><br>NewTek
has created what may very well be the ultimate solution for churches
needing a lot of power with a little price tag. At a suggested retail
price of $4,995 the TriCaster suddenly opens the door of video
production to the majority of churches.<br></blockquote> <blockquote><a href="http://www.videography.com/articles/article_14982.shtml">Videography</a><br>It
should take you just seconds to learn the switcher software--you won't
have to read the thin manual, which is a real plus--and you'll be able
to deliver great looking switching between live shots without needing
external genlock, black burst or a sync pulse. You can change the
parameters of your cameras to suit your situation easily.<br></blockquote><blockquote><a href="http://www.videomaker.com/article/13674/">VideoMaker</a><br>The
TriCaster STUDIO is truly an amazing production tool. Beyond having
features no other turnkey system can match, it also appears built to
take the rigors of the road. All front panel connections feel solid and
the two metal handles on the front also protect the protruding BNC
connectors from a careless whack or bump.</blockquote> <blockquote><a href="http://www.studiodaily.com/studiomonthly/currentissue/9431.html">StudioDaily</a><br>...there
is a lot to like in the TriCaster STUDIO. Capabilities like this would
have cost over a million dollars 10 years ago, and some, like virtual
sets and live Internet streaming, barely existed at all. If you are
willing to take the time to learn the ins and outs, there is enormous
power and potential in the TriCaster STUDIO.</blockquote> <blockquote><a href="http://videoediting.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=225719&amp;afterinter=true">DigitalMedia.net</a><br>At
$9,995 (USD), the TriCaster STUDIO is quite affordable for those who
would regularly spend upwards of $500,000 outfitting a studio and
truck, if not $1 million. I'd recommend getting two or three for
multiple projects and broadcasts; for the little guy, like a production
company or wedding/event videographer, one STUDIO will help speed up
your output, along with the potential for new revenue streams.<br></blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">I alway recommend buying several TriCasters - take two there small!</span><br><blockquote><a href="http://www.churchproduction.com/go.php/article/1013">ChurchProduction</a><br>TriCaster
Pro is a great live production switcher that has been recognized as
such by the industry. It is an easy to use device, ideal for the
church, and very affordable (list price of $6,995), considering all of
its professional features.<br></blockquote><blockquote><a href="http://www.planetdveducation.net/Frameset.asp?show=reviews&amp;RangeID=2338&amp;CatID=11&amp;VendorID=26&amp;ReviewID=1289">PlanetDV Education</a><br>NewTek
earned an Emmy in 1993 for its Amiga-based Video Toaster. Like the
Video Toaster, TriCaster uses readily available computer technology to
drastically lower the cost of video production. That opens new creative
possibilities for many more organizations than before. The TriCaster is
powerful, inexpensive and easy to use...<br></blockquote><blockquote><a href="http://postproduction.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=33667-0">DigitalMedia.net</a><br>he
worst thing about doing a multi-camera live switched remote program is
the enormous amount of gear that you have to take along. TriCaster, the
latest technology tool from NewTek, takes all the gear and squeezes it
into a little tiny box. Capture, edit, and broadcast live, TriCaster
promises to fulfill the needs of a live truck.</blockquote>
