At BVE 2016, taking place from 23 to 25 February at the Excel in London, NewTek is
focused on its continued push to spread the word about Advanced IP Workflows and its soon-to-be-released NDI (Network Device Interface), a new open standard for live production IP workflows. NewTek is showcasing two TriCaster products, the
TriCaster 8000 and TriCaster Mini, that are ideal for the Advanced Edition upgrade
and thereby incorporation of NDI.
With NDI, you can send and receive real-time, frame-accurate video from cameras
and devices in different locations, all on a standard network infrastructure. It gives
you the ability to access the inputs and outputs of any compatible device on your
network, tapping into exponentially more media sources for any production. Users
can grow their channel count with four additional inputs, mixing any video from
both hardware connections and IP video sources. Users can also seamlessly
integrate audio over IP, connecting to Dante-enabled audio devices anywhere in a
facility.
NewTek will be showcasing at its stand, the TriCaster 8000 live video system. The 8000 replaces gear for recording, encoding, switching, submixing, playback, audio mixing, DVE, advanced graphics and titling, animation store, scan conversion, multiple channels of virtual sets, live streaming, camera automation, scopes and monitors, and social media publishing.
NewTek will also be showcasing the TriCaster Mini, a multimedia studio that enables anyone using everyday cameras to create and publish quality video content in minutes, stream it live, push to social media platforms and capture audiences just like network-style TV. The TriCaster Mini’s small size, ease of use, and feature set are designed to make it easy to carry in one hand, set up, create, and share a complete programme in minutes. With Advanced Edition, users can continue to grow with the Mini, utilising the expanded range of new feature sets.
Both of these TriCaster products are able to incorporate NewTek’s NDI technology,
which is making its initial debut in a new version of TriCaster Advanced Edition early this year. The upgrade will give TriCaster 8000, TriCaster Mini, and other
TriCaster Pro Line products Advanced IP Workflow capabilities allowing for an
additional four inputs – which can be cameras or any supported video source on a
LAN. Users can have all source inputs be IP-based if they choose or mix IP sources
with local SDI sources. The updated version of TriCaster Advanced Edition software
will be offered as a free upgrade to any current TriCaster Advanced Edition
customer.
