Product Overview
Nizrt's TriCaster 2 Elite combines years of IP-based video innovation with cutting-edge video and production capabilities to set the new standard for live production in a multisource world.
"Better than broadcast" is the promise, and TriCaster 2 Elite delivers. Including a 60x45 video crosspoint that features 32 external inputs that automatically determine video format and resolution up to 4Kp60 for all your sources. Create simultaneous mixes and deliver multiple 4K streams to separate destinations all at once. Feed video walls and accommodate separate branding and language packages, making it perfect for retail, hotels, convention, and conference centers.
Broadcast features include 8 M/Es (mix/effects) with 4 layers each and strong integration with Adobe Creative Cloud® tools, letting you unleash your creativity. There's frame sync per input, animated GIF support in buffers, and social media publishing so you can get it all out there. Since the best video needs the best audio, the TriCaster 2 Elite has deep audio mixing and routing capabilities with support for DANTE and AES-67 protocols, among others.
Powered by NDI (Network Device Interface), TriCaster can connect to any NDI device, in any location, anywhere in the world and transmit live video to wherever you wish. NDI software allows you to encode, transmit, and receive many streams of high quality, low latency, frame-accurate video and audio in real-time to any network-connected video device over standard IP (Internet Protocol).
