As more and more people rely on live video for information and entertainment, from traditional broadcasts, to the Internet and other digital media, TriCaster 850, lets you deliver your video in up to 1080p resolution, and stream live to the Internet and other digital media, in up to 720p resolution – the highest in the industry. With just the click of a button, you can simultaneously record your productions in up to 1080p resolution.

TriCaster 850 supports video input from up to eight cameras, in any combination of HD-SDI, HD component, SD-SDI, SD component, Y/C and composite; and includes support for four channels of AES digital audio or balanced XLR analog audio per camera, and SDI embedded audio support for each camera connected through HD-SDI or SD-SDI inputs.

This 24-channel, HD/SD live production switcher also includes benefits such as 18 HD live virtual sets (using proprietary NewTek LiveSet™ technology) and advanced matte generation; two network inputs (using proprietary NewTek iVGA™ technology) for connection to an unlimited number of external displays from a Mac® or PC; overlay with keying, positioning, scaling, cropping, and rotation in 3D, plus animated effects; enhanced media player capabilities; full field rate preview monitors, color Waveform and Vectorscope displays, and multi-view monitoring (shown below) of all inputs and outputs; redundant power supply; removable storage, and much more. Add the optional TriCaster Virtual Set Editor (VSE) and you can deliver your live production from a customized network-style virtual environment. Specially designed TriCaster VSE Sets produce real-time reflections and specular highlights, and include a wide range of elements that can be edited. With TriCaster VSE you also have the option to create your own original virtual sets by populating Layer Sets with your artwork, or composing layers in Adobe® Photoshop®, and then importing the layers into TriCaster VSE, which instantly transforms the PSD file into a double-box effect or Layer Set for use in VSE.

Now it’s time to take control of your live production and streaming with TriCaster 850.
