NewTek TriCaster Mini Dual Presentation Output Demo
No other software or conversion equipment is needed for this workflow – so very simple to set up, but so very able to create a compelling multimedia experience for an audience. TriCaster was designed with multimedia presentation in mind, and this workflow just one of many built-in alternatives that are available for bringing the display or content from other computers into a TriCaster. This same workflow can be duplicated with an IP workflow using NewTek’s iVGA application, or one of the new NDI™ applications (many are free), to make the display of a networked computer available as a network input for the TriCaster.
In most installations the systems would be networked anyway, so one might as well make use of that, eliminate the extra cable needed for a direct video connection and free up a TriCaster input for another camera. We’ve provided a summary list of one form of this alternative IP workflow, below the summary listing of the workflow demonstrated in the video.
Workflow shown in this video:
- ProPresenter on Mac, set to send Stage Display to Mini Display Port
- MiniDP-to-HDMI cable connecting Mac to TriCaster Mini HD-4i
- TriCaster Mini M/E bus set up to key out background from the ProPresenter HDMI input and overlay lyrics on video from TriCaster’s Media Player
- Keyed lyrics over video sent to Program Output
- Program Output to large format auditorium display
Alternative IP Workflow
- Mac and TriCaster Mini HD-4 or HD-4i networked on Gigabit Ethernet LAN
- ProPresenter and iVGA Pro on Mac, set up to send Mac display to the network.
- TriCaster Mini M/E bus set up to key out background from the ProPresenter network input and overlay lyrics on video from TriCaster’s Media Player
- Keyed lyrics over video sent to Program Output
- Program Output to large format auditorium display
