Comparative Matrix

Network IN

This exclusive TriCaster technology is like nothing you've ever seen before.
Each computer on the network runs a small application so it is 'seen' by TriCaster.

The TriCaster producer can then select any one of those computer screens, and bring it into the presentation in real time.
This goes way beyond sharing graphics, though. Network IN is capable of brining in full-screen images, animations and even video playing on the outlying computer with incredible clarity and smoothness.
The possibilities are exciting:

A co-worker breezes into the meeting with the latest ad storyboards or initial product videos. No longer do you have to halt the meeting for him to connect his system to the projector; just plug into the room's network connection, and with a couple mouse clicks, he can drive the video, while you archive this to digital video.
Financial information can change right before your eyes. One of the presenters displays a ticker page on his computer, which can be viewed by entire group with a single click.

Live Cameras

Instantly incorporate live video, taking the Y/C or composite video connection from the camera and plugging straight into TriCaster's convenient front connection panel.

As soon as you plug in a camera, its video appears on-screen and is ready for use in your presentation. Quickly Connect up to three cameras for quick and compelling digital video that can then be sent to tape, to a projector or to the Internet. Live events become much easier and faster to set up thanks to TriCaster. Advanced controls are available.

VCR

Live Production can easily be reinforced with additional animations and edited videos. TriCaster offers total freedom of playback with its Virtual VCR. This is even easier to use than your VCR at home. Drop in a video clip and when you're ready to make it live, it begins playing right away. With a big, friendly button just for VCR on the video mixer, cutting between clips and cameras is a snap.

Picture

Picture This

If its a picture on a computer, you can use it in your live presentation. TriCaster's Picture player is one of several inputs to the video mixer, and can display pictures in very high detail.

Drop them into the Picture folder, and re-arrange at will, or call them up in any order. Help your customers better understand each points by presenting supporting graphs and data.

A simple forward/back button below the picture monitor lets you set or change the pace at any time.

Streaming Encoder/Server

New Customer Relations

Never again do you have to limit your audience to the people in the room.

Today's corporations are quietly discovering the competitive advantage that Internet streaming provides.

Further, live streaming is more beneficial than on-demand, as viewers report stronger positive impressions when watching a live event.

Let TriCaster help your key accounts, hot new leads, vendors and many others join in on your important meetings or events.

Audio Mixer

Running a presentation with live speakers and recorded footage requires flexibility and full control of audio, and TriCaster has simplified this to a couple of controls.

Each source (mic1, mic2, line, and VCR) has its own audio level controls and a single output volume control. Verify the quality of your signal with on-board audio meters as well as with the integrated headphone.

Each input has Balance, Equalization and Solo. The microphone inputs also have an automated Talk Over button, to quickly reduce the volume of all other inputs, giving that microphone level priority.

Capture Media

Digital Video Tools

Connect a camera or deck to TriCaster, and use the streamlined capture functions begin ingesting clips for editing or live production playback.

Choose an analog or digital connection, provide a name for the video clip and you can quickly begin capturing up to

Simple start and stop functions.

Storyboard and Timeline

Storyboard Simplicity

TriCaster's Storyboard editor is simple enough to master in seconds, as all pictures and videos sequence one after another.
This is the best place to start editing, as you can quickly re-arrange and then play to see the changes.

Timeline Power

The power of the Timeline is in the way it can create picture-in-picture effects, add titles and quickly create multiple video layers.

Easily add transitions, and your project is now ready to be utilized in several ways; output as a digital video file, send to the projector or stream to the Internet. While the Storyboard is fast and simple, this is still a very powerful editor, capable of any special effect you'll need.

Multiple video layers
animated titles
Slo motion
panning, 3D rotation, soft edges and more

Along with the hundreds of professional transitions included, you have the all the tools you need to create or modify compelling messages on-site.

Some more about Tricaster!

Why do I need TriCaster?
TriCaster is the perfect device to handle any presentation need, from mixing live cameras and video playback, to high-resolution projection of graphics and animations directly to a projector, video or the Internet. Nothing else can do what TriCaster can do, such as sharing full-screen graphics and video from another person across the local network, mixing it with live sources, and even streaming your live presentation to the Internet while recording it all as full-resolution digital video. TriCaster is designed for presenters who are not familiar with video equipment or terminology. Just turn it on and engage the world.

What makes TriCaster so different?
TriCaster brings several revolutionary technologies to the presentation market:

Network IN allows you to pull in full-screen presentations, video and graphics from a computer across the network and mix seamlessly into you live production.
TriCaster sends your high-quality graphics and images directly to the projector without compromising quality. Video is also scaled up to the projector's resolution; something that would cost thousands if you were using hardware video scalers.
Cue up video clips, and the moment they're selected, they begin playing, allowing you to produce the most polished and professional presentation imaginable.
