Picking the right TriCaster Mini model for your production

Picking the right TriCaster Mini model for your production Both the TC Mini Base [HD-4] and TC Mini w/ LCD Panel [HD-4i] deliver you the same great features and performance. The tech's over at Videoguys have put together this blog post to help you better understand the differences between models and select the right one for your needs and budget. There are only 2 features that are different: 1) Integrated LCD Display: The most obvious difference between the two is the case display built into the chassis of the HD-4i model. This case display can be configured just like any other output and is helpful for local monitoring purposes. The HD-4 Base model does not have an integrated display. 2) Internal Storage: The TC Mini Base [HD-4} includes a single internal 750GB drive. This will provide you with Standalone recording of up to 2 simultaneous channels to internal storage and up to approximately 15 hours of 1080i footage. (Please note that this varies by resolution and format; capacity expandable using additional supported storage). You can use an external USB3 drive to ISO record from all 4 inputs. The TC Mini w/ LCD Panel [HD-4i] model also includes two internal 750GB hard disk drives (HDD), which provide more than double the recording capacity and allow for full-capacity ISO recording of up to 4 channels simultaneously without the use of external storage. With twice the capacity, totaling 1.5TB, you can store approximately 30 hours of 1080i footage. With ISO recording from 4 cameras that gives you over 7 hours each. Which model is right for you: If you are looking for the best, lowest cost solution to produce and stream your show with up to 4 HDMI based video cameras the TC Mini Base TC Mini Base [HD-4] will get the job done for you.
