Mix up to three live cameras with iVGA input from external computers and video and picture playback using any of the hundreds of 2D and 3D transitions. With the TriCaster you can also overlay graphics and text and even record the whole production to a hard drive or stream it live.There is a reason TriCaster is the standard in “portable live production” for major players like Fox Sports, MTV, VH-1, NBA D-League and the NHL, it is simply the most complete, reliable and efficient system available for live production and web streaming. The small footprint makes it possible to broadcast from literally anywhere and only requires one person to make it work. No matter where your live broadcast plans take you there is a TriCaster in the TriCaster family perfect for you. Simply plug in your composite or S-video cables and anyone can get started in just minutes but the TriCaster is powerful enough to give your production a professional look. The on-screen monitors for all video sources, an integrated audio mixer and one button web streaming coupled with the simple point and click interface let's you concentrate on the event and not the mechanics of the production. The TriCaster also includes a complete video editor based on NewTek's acclaimed SpeedEDIT so you can polish your captured video for playback live or for DVD authoring. At this price point the other guys leave you stranded with a "videomixer" that hasn't changed much since 1986 but with the TriCaster you can create network quality productions, whether a seasoned pro or just a neophyte. 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. VCR 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 VCR. 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 VCR on the video mixer panel, cutting between clips and live cameras is a snap. Picture You can use any picture on computer in your live presentation. TriCaster's Picture Player is one of several inputs to the video mixer, and can display images in full detail, with the ability to set specific playback times for each image in the list. Help your customers better understand each point by presenting supporting graphs and data. 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 (mic1, mic2, line, and VCR) has its 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. Keyer 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. 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.

Storyboard & Timeline Storyboard Simplicity TriCaster's Storyboard editor is simple enough to master in seconds, 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. Multiple video layers Animated titles Slow motion Panning, 3D rotation, soft edges, more Along with the hundreds of professional transitions included, you have the all the tools you need to create or modify compelling messages on-site.The VM control surface is the perfect companion for the TriCaster 100 and a lower cost option for the other TriCaster models. Tactile buttons and a real 'T' bar for switching plus controls for overlays and the virtual VCR let the director keep his eyes on the video and the rugged all metal construction means your VM will survive life in the field. The VM also frees up the keyboard and mouse for use by a second operator who can run Title Templates or the virtual VCR reducing the directors workload. If your not using LiveSets heavily the VM is a good choice for the TriCaster PRO and will work well with the Studio and Broadcast especially in three input mode.
