The TriCaster 2 Elite is the most complete video production platform available today, and sets a new platinum standard for how much you can achieve with a single system.
Setting New Standards
TriCaster 2 Elite enables studios, broadcasters, large scale campuses and enterprise facilities to harness nearly every major video calling application and IP video source type in use today, including: • Skype™, MS Teams™, Zoom Meetings™, Slack, Discord, Tencent • NDI®, SRT, RTMP, RTP, HTTP, SRC • Smartphones
These, along with almost unlimited traditional SDI sources, can be accessed and used simultaneously to connect in-studio guests and remote video callers without compromise or worrying about connectivity.
Uncompromising Flexibility
A high speed 60x48 video crosspoint includes 8 configurable mix outputs in HD or 2 in UHD; 8 mix/effects (M/Es) with 4 layers each and 32 external inputs that automatically determine video format and resolutions up to 4Kp60.
So you can…
Produce simultaneous mixes
Deliver multiple 4K streams to different places at once
Feed video walls
Accommodate separate branding and language packages
Record programs, sources, and replays
Tell more and better stories
