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.
