TriCaster Advanced Edition - In Depth
TriCaster™ Advanced Edition allows you to take even greater creative control of your show—with no additional hardware. 60+ operator-centric capabilities grow your audience, elevate your brand standards, and help you save valuable time that can be spent on other in-show needs.
Video Over IP
Send and receive real-time, low-latency, frame-accurate video over IP on a standard network infrastructure via the Network Device Interface (NDI) protocol, with any NDI-enabled device on the same LAN available as a video source or destination.
תהליך עבודה מתקדם מבוסס IP
IP Source Selection
Access the inputs and outputs of NDI-enabled devices on the same network from any external input on the TriCaster switcher—dramatically increasing the amount of available video sources for any production.
IP Outputs
Distribute more video from your TriCaster system, supplying your choice of output signals, sub-mixes or individual sources to NDI-enabled devices with 4 fully configurable, IP video outputs.

Switcher Inputs
Access more live sources with the number of external inputs on the switcher increasing from 6 to 8 for TriCaster 460, 410 and Mini and from 10 to 12 for TriCaster 8000 and 860.
External Input Configuration
Freely configure the external inputs on the TriCaster switcher for any combination of connected cameras, hardware video sources, or IP video sources.
Router Support
