NewTek Unveils Next-Generation TriCaster Family with New System Architecture for Live Production and Media Publishing

Three new, live production solutions give producers the ability to meet 21st century consumer demands for high-impact video content delivered in real-time across broadcast, Web and mobile devices.

LAS VEGAS - NAB Booth - April 15, 2012

NewTek today unveiled a new line of TriCaster™ live production systems that utilize a completely reengineered platform-and introduce revolutionary capabilities for live event producers and media publishing professionals. The next-generation product family, which includes TriCaster 8000, TriCaster 855 and TriCaster 455—enables professionals to meet rapidly evolving consumer demand for high-quality, live programming, by delivering live video content to multiple viewing platforms with greater speed and flexibility than any other live production systems on the market.

TriCaster 8000

Designed for production and media publishing professionals who deliver live video for large, complex events, with full integration of social media production tools. The system introduces extensive integration and customization options that include; virtually limitless scalability with third-party router support, recordable macros that can be triggered simultaneously, along with extensive effects and graphics capabilities with eight M/E rows. TriCaster 8000 includes a new social media-savvy "Share" panel that allows for video clips, individual stills, or batches of ISO-grabbed frames of the live show to be distributed to multiple social media platforms, including: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Flickr—or FTP-transferred to a directory—in a single pass. The seamless integration of live production with social media interaction provides immediacy, relevant content, and a unified brand for both traditional video and social media audiences.

TriCaster 855

Developed for producers looking to build their businesses and brands with new programming, clients, advertising and sponsorships. TriCaster 855 is a facilities-class system, equipped with 24-channel switching, and inputs for up to eight cameras; five digital media players for video clips, graphics and titles, and two network channels for sharing computer screens and displays from wireless iOS devices. It has eight M/E-style virtual inputs and three outputs. The size, capacity and capabilities are scaled for professionals who produce big, live productions for delivery to on-air, projectors and the Web.

TriCaster 455

Targeted to mobile producers who want to deliver professional live video content to a worldwide audience, without concerns for location limitations. The system is scaled for virtually any restricted space, including small studios, production vans, control rooms, backstage, a blogger's office, and more. TriCaster 455 includes a 14-channel switcher with four camera inputs and the production and graphics power to deliver a network-quality show from locations that proved impossible before.

The new TriCaster 8000, TriCaster 855 and TriCaster 455 systems all include a corresponding hardware control surface to provide intuitive, hands-on control of any live production. In addition, TriCaster 8000 includes an innovative, redesigned control surface to provide the greatest level of intuitive control over the new capabilities in the system.
