Chapter 2 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this NewTek TriCaster
®
system. NewTek™ is extremely proud
of its record of innovation and commitments to excellence in design, manufacture, and
superb product support. TriCaster Advanced Edition constitutes our best release ever,
and you will find it exceptionally powerful. This chapter provides a quick tour of
TriCaster models, major components, and features.
SECTION 2.1 MEET THE FAMILY
All professional model TriCasters bear a strong family resemblance. The user interfaces of TriCaster Mini
SDI, Mini, 410, 460 and 860 have a great deal in common with the flagship TriCaster 8000. The latter, of
course, has a number of unique attributes and features, but many aspects of the workflow and user software
are intentionally very similar. Among other benefits, this makes it easy for TriCaster users working with
multiple machines to feel right at home and avoid errors.
SECTION 2.2 OVERVIEW
Not so long ago, high definition live production demanded very expensive equipment, daunting technical
skills, and a large crew. TriCaster
®
changed all that. In one compact system, it provides a complete set of
tools you can use to create, broadcast, web stream and project your production. TriCaster even includes
NewTek’s latest edition of the famous LiveSet™ virtual set system to provide you with network quality ‘bigger
than life’ production capabilities.
TriCaster continues to raise the bar for live production systems. Simply put, it represents the most complete,
reliable and efficient integrated system available for live production and web streaming. Its capabilities are
suited to broadcast center, mobile and remote production alike, and it can be operated, if desired, by just one
person. No matter what your live broadcast ambitions are, TriCasters stand ready to help you fulfill them.
With TriCaster you can produce and distribute live video programs from diverse sources and digital media
in both standard and high definition. Use multiple cameras, network video sources, recorded digital video,
multimedia presentations from networked laptops, live web pages, digital photos and graphics, control
robotic cameras, and much more.
Your presentations can simultaneously be displayed by video projectors, television monitors, broadcast by
traditional means, and streamed in high quality on the Internet. TriCaster Advanced Edition also supports
NewTek’s innovative NDI (Network Device Interface) protocol, placing it squarely in the forefront of IP
technology solutions for the video broadcast and production industries.
