Vizrt TriCaster 460

Mobile producers, independent video and Web TV experts, advanced worship producers, and corporate video departments are the inspiration for TriCaster 460’s boldly-go-anywhere attitude. For anyone producing professional real-time video in small or roving bases of operation – getting there is just the start.

The most versatile and extensive of our mobile-scale multi-camera video solutions, TriCaster 460’s any-format, any-resolution, any frame-rate I/O and amped-up production capabilities let you connect any camera, access any available video source, and go live from locations you've only imagined. And, with 3D and holographic sets, you can go live from virtually any world.

Produce a 4-camera show that looks infinitely bigger, with layered video, real-time compositions, and multiple submixes that give the look of adding 4 other switchers into the stream. Deliver multi-channel media with simultaneous streaming and social media publishing. Record every feed for later remixing, sweetening, or just fixing mistakes—but leave the expensive, extraneous decks, encoders, and other superfluous gear for others to set up and take down while you’re on the move.

Turnkey Production


Based on the innovative concept of a single system to broadcast, project stream, and record simultaneously, TriCaster 460’s multiple turnkey functions do the work usually requiring racks of equipment, but integrated into a small, van-friendly footprint instead. Just one system 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.


Scaled for Mobility


Professional-grade gear in a compact size. Industry-standard analog and digital connectivity, along with swift setup and teardown for in-and-out coverage, make the most of just 2U of rack space in a production vehicle or other space, and help you gain a freedom of movement that's just not possible with racks of individual components pieced together. Available with or without a compact counter-sunk or countertop control surface that goes anywhere.


Mix-and-Match I/O


TriCaster 460 provides connectivity to prepare for any location scenario. Connect multiple cameras with the capability to mix and match connection types, including SDI, component, composite and Y/C; and even camera types with varying SD and HD resolutions and formats. Equally flexible outputs can send a variety of feeds to multiple destinations and displays—even send a signal to another TriCaster over the network with a network output.


4-channel, Multi-Format ISO Source Recording


Vizrt’s seriously forward-thinking IsoCorder™ technology combines the capabilities of racks and racks of video capture equipment, providing multi-track, multi-format recording of up to four simultaneous channels. Record any combination of your finished show, a clean feed, raw source captures from any camera, or more, at full resolution—directly from the user interface.


15-channel Multi-camera Production


Connectivity for 4 camera sources. Color correction, keying, cropping, scaling, and frame sync on every input. Video playback from 2 DDRs—not just short clips with an overly restrictive frame count: we’re talking full-length packages and whatever else you need. Digital media from 2 built-in graphic and sound slots. 2 network sources for sharing computer displays, wireless iOS devices, or any over-the-network source. And 4 M/E banks to stage live virtual sets, create real-time compositions and presets, and submixes that can act as upstream switchers (or secondary programs out).


Expanded Media Sources: Buffers and Network Inputs


Providing greater built-in source variety than any other 15-channel system is just the start. TriCaster 460 gives producers instant access to even more content in real time, without adding equipment or crew. 10 still buffers and 5 animation buffers provide 15 bonus “always on” sources. And enhanced network inputs support cloud video, streaming servers, remote cameras, remotely hosted clips, USB cameras and more, dramatically expanding content and programming possibilities without taking up a hardware input.


Audio Mixing


The TriCaster integrated multi-channel audio mixer is loaded with enhancements that raise the caliber of your shows’ sound to the same professional, network quality as the visuals. Unprecedented routing, customization, control and flexibility—and further opportunities for sound configuration and delivery like simulcast audio, multi-language presentation, and mix-minus applications (such as Skype calls and phoners)—without the investment in scores of external hardware. If live control by an audio operator is what you want, you get full support for mixing from our iPad remote mixer app, the Avid® Artist Mix control surface, and other third-party audio control interfaces.


Visual & Motion Effects


TriCaster 460 has the most powerful integrated effects engine available in live production. From full-color, animated transitions with alpha channel and embedded audio, to real-time cloth dynamics, 3D video warping, and transformations with TransWarp effects and motion overlays; all the way to your own custom, branded effects using the included Animation Store Creator application, and real-time, multi-layered compositions with 4 M/E rows and motion effects. TriCaster 460 lets nothing stand in the way of getting the look you want or the professional presentation your organization demands.


Automation


Automation functions in TriCaster 460 help you experiment with more complex sequences but leave nothing to chance during a live production. Reduce on-air mistakes with macros—streamline real-time shot sequences that make the show look more sophisticated, but are too complicated to execute live and risk costly errors. Unlimited external control functions with MIDI sequencing enables show control of nearly any command, or offloading tasks to additional crew. With hotspots, talent can trigger automated sequences requiring extraordinary timing with on-camera gestures, effectively controlling a segment without an operator. And add remotely controlled robotic cameras as input sources, without the need to add camera operators.


Virtual Sets


Even if your "set" is really a multi-purpose room or the corner of a studio, your viewers will not only see your professional brand shine through—they’ll see any world you want to create, without the high cost or heavy construction. With TriCaster 460 system's virtual sets, you can elevate your look with realistic foregrounds and live moving backgrounds. Not just high-end studio looks either: take a panoramic of any location with your smart phone, or a 3D model from any universe you create, and make it your scene using our holographic LiveSet capability, bringing augmented reality that much closer to live. Add real-time energy to any virtual set with two live sources—each with overlay, all with transitions, sounds, 3D DVEs and effects. Live camera moves and shot changes during production bring your new location to life.


Social Media Publishing


With a brief setup beforehand and the real-time grab of a shot, generate second-screen content for sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter during the live show, and extend your brand to online and second-screen platforms—or share assets to common storage locations for instant access by others. Hey, set it all up with a macro and just push a button, and you’ve increased your program exposure without adding equipment, personnel, or lag time.


Post-production


TriCaster 460 provides extensive workflow interoperation for postproduction: 4-channel ISO recording enables the capture of all the raw sources coming into the program, for later repurposing or re-use. Expanded media format support (like native QuickTime®-encoded files embedded with timecode and four audio tracks) eliminates conversion for production or editing, speeds up post- production workflows, and enables wider integration of Mac or PC based files. Our codecs for Mac and PC let you encode media assets, optimized for real time.


External and Third-Party Applications


Through our third-party developer network, TriCaster 460 supports an extended set of products that work directly with the system to provide innovative solutions and workflows in several different areas of your live production, including streaming, graphics, content and controllers. Our SDK enables developers and customers to tap into the power of TriCaster functionality, add applications that enhance the production workflow, and further extend integration with standard and custom installations. And our own suite of peripheral applications and hardware control surfaces rounds out the total solution.

The most recent TriCaster advancements provide mobile producers, independent video and Web TV pros, worship producers, and corporate video departments with new integrated tools to make studio-quality productions smoother, faster, and easier—and triumph over stacks of gear everywhere.



Integration


3Play Native Support

Direct integration between TriCaster and 3Play enables cross-platform commands and automation (via macros) for remote operation of select 3Play functions. Build custom command programs and consolidate control between TriCaster and 3Play - reducing the number of operators required, and simplifying sophisticated, multi-system workflows.

Shared Storage Support

Access and playback files written to SAN and shared drives by TriCaster and 3Play systems on the same network - without having to import and host locally - to enhance facility integration and streamline workflows.

Vizrt Trio Support

Advanced native control of Vizrt Trio graphics systems to select and display CG pages, perform animations and more via macros. Combine operations between Vizrt solutions and Vizrt Trio for sophisticated live production workflows with centralized control.


GPI Support

Explore new opportunities for external control, driving up to 2x24 different GPI signals using the JLCooper eBOX GPI system. GPI commands can be freely inserted into TriCaster macros, allowing external GPI events to be triggered by TriCaster operations.


WorkFlow


Quad Monitor Support

Drive two additional VGA monitors or projectors, with advanced scaling and frame-rate processing. Each display port supports an independently selectable output signal, increasing flexibility for multi-screen monitoring and output.

Custom Multi-View Layout

Multi-view displays are now fully configurable, with sources and overlays selectable per viewport, enabling more flexible monitoring and allowing the operator to customize the workspace according to preference.

Output Selections

Secondary output channels now support expanded source selections. Choose to follow either of the primary outputs, or select any internal or external video source - with full frame-rate, color space and scaler - for more flexible output configuration.


Export Active Recordings

Export active ISO recordings to local storage or FTP while recording is in progress - and let post-production staff begin working with recorded content as soon as the program begins to reduce turnaround time.

Queue Active Recordings

Add local or shared ISO recordings to DDR playlists and the Publish queue while recording is in progress. Trim, playback or export even as recording and live production continues for instantaneous access to content being captured - locally or remotely - for playback, publishing or postproduction.

Network Tally Display

TriCaster intelligently detects connections between replay channels and network inputs, providing automatic tally configuration for TriCaster-3Play workflows and reducing the risk of mistakes happening on air.



Operations


Replay Functionality

Create basic highlight clips for instant playback and publishing with shortcut commands that insert the last 4 seconds of program output into your choice of DDR playlists, the Publish queue, or both-and expand your content-creation opportunities with no additional effort.

TW Controller Clip Marking

Clip marking with the TW controller now occurs on a continuously recording clip with adjustable In and Out points, rather than the TW controller starting and stopping recording to create clips with fixed In and Out points. This means the system retains full ISO recording functionality on all channels, even with TW controller in the workflow, extending playback control in single-channel replay workflows.

Automatic Media Retrieval

TriCaster now automatically locates and populates session media, even when drive settings have changed-saving valuable time spent searching for missing media and rebuilding sessions, and lessening the burden on operators to maintain a large volume and assortment of assets.


Navigation


Media Browser

Media Browser now includes a Session Recordings category, so operators can readily locate and identify session recordings, including those that are currently in progress. Actively recording clips are also identified with a Record symbol overlay for increased visibility.

Clip Thumbnails

For faster navigation, organization and file management, you can choose the thumbnail image that represents a clip in DDRs and the Media Browser, including distinctive, individual thumbnail images for duplicate clips.


Visuals


Advanced Rendering Engine

Optimized processing for image sampling, downscaling and warping results in higher-quality video images and even cleaner, better-looking video.

Photoshop Blending Modes

Combine mix/effect layers using any of the standard Adobe Photoshop blending modes for more sophisticated layering and compositing, new visual effects opportunities and higher production value.


Recordings


Frame-Synchronized ISO Recording

Synchronizes frames of recorded signals to internal switcher timing, so you can ensure frame accuracy between ISO recordings - with or without camera genlock.
