What is a TriCaster?




A TriCaster is a versatile piece of broadcast equipment developed by NewTek. It's essentially a live production switcher and video production system all in one. It's designed to handle multiple video sources and create professional-quality live broadcasts or streams.


Here’s what it generally does:


1. **Live Switching**: It allows users to switch between multiple video sources in real-time, like cameras, graphics, and video clips.


2. **Streaming and Recording**: It can stream live video to the internet and record broadcasts for later use.


3. **Graphics and Effects**: The TriCaster includes tools for adding graphics, titles, and visual effects to the live production.


4. **Multiview Monitoring**: Users can monitor all their video sources simultaneously on one screen.


5. **Audio Mixing**: It includes audio mixing capabilities to balance and adjust sound from various sources.


6. **Virtual Sets**: Some models offer virtual set technology, allowing you to place your presenters or talent in computer-generated environments.


Overall, a TriCaster is used by TV stations, online broadcasters, event organizers, and other professionals who need to produce high-quality live video content.



They are used in the podcast studio, the green screen and the broadcast studios.
