Features
The NewTek TriCaster TCXD850 Live Production System (Full Unit) is a 22-channel, 1080p native switcher that allows you to simultaneously broadcast, live stream, and project and record HD and/or SD productions, while giving you total control over the entire process. The live production system also comes with one-button live streaming that lets you directly stream full HD live recordings over the Internet in resolutions of up to 720p.
The TriCaster TCXD850 offers one-button recording, which allows you to capture and save live productions at full HD resolution and store them as high-quality video and stream files with ease. Given that this live production system can also record 50 hours of 1080i 59.94 video (which can be further increased using the unit's 4 removable drive bays), you have unlimited storage and backup space for all of your post-production and archival needs.
The TCXD850 comes with 8 external video inputs that allow you to connect up to 8 HD and/or SD live cameras in any combination (HD/SD-SDI, HD/SD component, etc.), and 8 virtual/mix channels with presets and individual overlays that can be used to save complex switcher effects and assign them to a single source for easy access and use in the future.
Using 18 HD live virtual sets in combination with the LiveSet technology and advanced matte generation, the live production system lets you get a sophisticated studio look even in a limited space setting. The unit also comes with 5 digital media players (2 DDRs, a titles bin, a stills store, and a sound player), which can be used to present video clips, titles, images, motion graphics, music, audio clips, etc. when in live production.
With its 3 video output rows, the TriCaster TCXD850 allows you to simultaneously output HD video and SD video. The HDMI, DVI, and VGA program output options allow you to use a projector (IMAG) or any other monitoring application to display the video. The 4U rack mount form factor makes the TriCaster TCXD850FN suitable for desktop installation and handy enough for use in portable live production setups.
