Vizrt has been showing an early look at a couple of new TriCasters on its stand, one physical, one virtual.
The TriCaster Mini S is the company's very first software- only TriCaster; an entry-level solution that lets users deploy TriCaster’s powerful features on the hardware that best suits their needs under a subscription pricing model.
The software features robust IP connectivity, 4Kp60 streaming, and integrated TriCaster Graphics powered by Viz Flowics. It not only provides live video switching, but virtual sets, special effects, audio mixing, recording, social media publishing, and web streaming all in one.
Release is currently TBA, but you can register your interest here.
While the Mini S is aimed at streaming, podcasting, small corporate townhalls and live events, the Vizion (main image) is targeted at the opposite end of the spectrum. Billed as being engineered for broadcasters, sports networks, and live event producers, it has been built to offer cutting-edge AI, advanced IP connectivity, and industry-leading graphics with the versatility to meet any production demand.
It's the new flagship, basically. As well as multi-channel recording and multi-channel remote guest conferencing, the TriCaster Vizion brings new AI features and industry-leading graphics capabilities with TriCaster Graphics powered by Viz Flowics, both as standard. All this is underpinned by impressive versatility engendered by multiple hardware deployment devices, configurable 12G-SDI I/O options (44 inputs in all) and either perpetual or more affordable subscription license offerings.
"TriCaster Vizion is the hub of a complete digital media production ecosystem that capitalizes on standard network infrastructures, accommodates existing and emerging technologies, and supports easy integration, scalable multi-source media processing, access to virtually unlimited sources, multi-platform output delivery, and operation across distributed environments," says the company. Hard to argue.
Again, release is TBA.
