Connect to a wide variety of NDI®-enabled products, along with the world’s largest ecosystem of third-party IP video products using a single network cable for video, audio, key, control, tally, and in some cases power over Ethernet.
Skype TX Integration
Conduct two simultaneous live Skype video calls with any remote guest, anywhere in the world. TriCaster systems are the only video production systems to feature direct Skype TX software integration with broadcast-quality video and balanced audio, allowing you to present production-ready conversations, interviews, reports, and more—regardless of the caller’s device.
Multi-screen Delivery & Streaming
It’s more important than ever to deliver content to ALL of today’s screens. You can output 16×9 video for traditional video applications. Or, change your aspect ratio to square or vertical video with no compromise in production power and stream that content using the built-in dual encoders to multiple destinations simultaneously. Unlike other products, only TriCaster allows you to switch, stream, and record into a wide array of formats, resolutions, aspect ratios, and frame rates.
