TriCaster™

Educators are constantly seeking great tools that are powerful enough for staff, yet easy enough for students. TriCaster is just such a tool. As an appliance, TriCaster powers up to the Live Production screen. There is nothing to configure or set up. Everything professional presenters require is in here. TriCaster offers simplified live switching and audio mixing, with real-time output to video, projector and the Internet for less than $5,000. TriCaster's user-friendly interface is in plain English instead of video jargon, meaning you don't have to know about video production to produce compelling presentations. Its quick start-up and dedicated usage allow you to produce professional qualty video within minutes of opening the box. NewTek's TriCaster is a turnkey, portable, live production system. It is designed for enterprise market professionals and other communicators who want to get their message across in the most powerful way possible. TriCaster was designed to bring the production and distribution capabilities of broadcast television to the enterprise environment. TriCaster combines everything found in a television mobile truck into a box that fits in a small backpack. It has a very easy interface using plain language instead of video jargon so corporate communications, human resources, marketers, and corporate training professionals can jump right in and start immediately producing and distributing broadcast quality live events and presentations. Beyond the enterprise market, it's also perfect for teachers/education, local access channels or anyone wanting to communicate live events. The combination of TriCaster's portability, functionality and affordability, make it the most powerful live production system ever developed. Morning Newscasts are becoming widely popular with primary schools as they allow students of all ages to learn real-life lessons on deadlines, writing and time management. TriCaster can easily wheel around school on an A/V cart for use after each morning's show. Dignitary visits to campus can be simply captured for replay in the next morning's newscast, and distributed to parent organizations and the local media. In-service training is an ongoing demand on every campus, and TriCaster can assist in efficient information transfers, and also allow the archived presentation to be available at a later date on video, CD or as a streaming file on the school intranet.
