What it is
NewTek TriCaster combines everything found in a television live truck into a
box small and light enough to fit into a backpack.

What it Offers
TriCaster offers simplified live switching and audio mixing, with realtime output to video, projector and the Internet for less than £4,000. TriCaster's user-friendly interface is in plain English instead of video jargon, meaning you don't have to know about video production to produce compelling presentations. Its quick startup and dedicated usage allow you to produce professional quality video within minutes of opening the box.

Who Benefits
Corporate communications, human resource and corporate training professionals can benefit from rapid setup on site and easy use. TriCaster is also perfect for educators, local access channels or anyone wanting to communicate live events.

Welcome to the next revolution in live broadcast. Welcome to the world of TriCaster STUDIO™.

Virtual sets, up to six cameras, real-time chroma keying and multiple upstream effects – welcome to the newest addition of the TriCaster™ family, TriCaster STUDIO™.

TriCaster STUDIO extends the excitement of live broadcast production via projector, television and Internet with more power and capabilities than ever before. The result is an advanced production studio powerful enough to be utilised in network environments yet still portable and small enough to fit in a backpack.

The ultimate portable production package awaits you in TriCaster STUDIO™ which extends capabilities with 6 inputs instead of 3, offering multiple upstream effects, advanced switching and virtual set support.

What are Virtual Sets?
Virtual sets can be as simple as a photo with the host or anchor keyed over the background. This can also be quite elaborate, with the talent interacting with the room’s environment, such as reflections across the floor or desk. Virtual sets can be a post-production process, where recorded footage of the talent is rendered into the room, but this is very time intensive, having to shoot and then composite each shot.

How do live virtual sets differ?
While several companies offer software packages providing virtual sets as a post-production tool, the realm of live virtual sets has typically been quite expensive, with systems costing $50,000 and more, depending on the amount of specialised hardware required. TriCaster STUDIO provides portable, live production, and allows all six inputs to have its own camera angle in the room. Like most virtual set systems, you can cut between angles, but STUDIO lets you fade or perform 3D transitions between angles.

NewTek has dramatically improved your access to affordable virtual sets with TriCaster STUDIO™. Unlike simpler live solutions, STUDIO brings realism into your virtual set with reflections, video walls, refracted glass and more – in real-time.

Why are Live Virtual Sets important?
Cue the talent and broadcast your show. Virtual Sets give you the flexibility to use expansive, professional sets and even though your location may have limited space. The scaling capabilities within TriCaster STUDIO let you push the talent into a wide-shot without trucking to the back of the room. This boosts production quality without requiring a sound stage and floor staff.

What is VT[5]?
NewTek VT[5]™ is an Integrated Production Suite from the Emmy®-winning company that created desktop video. VT[5] defines the cutting-edge in live production, bringing you the solutions you need to meet your production goals with more power, flexibility and affordability than you ever dreamed possible.

What VT[5] Offers
VT[5] offers live switching, live virtual sets, web streaming, realtime keying, titling, the world's fastest SD & HD editing and video painting. All this is tightly integrated with everything you need for production, postproduction, and graphics. VT[5] delivers all of this, plus unsurpassed video quality with uncompressed component, SDI, digital analog video with four-channel audio.

Who Benefits from VT[5]?
VT[5] is designed for the video producer that wants to expand their services without breaking the bank. VT[5] gives the power, flexibility and functionality of a system costing much more. Whether the project calls for a live CEO message integrated with pre-edited segments or a complex edit for broadcast television, VT[5] gives you the tools necessary to complete your next award-winning project.

SX-SDI
NewTek advances the state of live production with SX-SDI™, the newest VT[5] hardware that provides 8 serial digital inputs and outputs.

Serial Digital Interface, or SDI, is a standard for broadcast quality video, capable of transmitting uncompressed digital component video across a single coaxial cable with television facilities, with audio embedded in the same signal.

In addition to live switching of 8 digital sources, SX-SDI also serves as a signal router, with the ability to assign any of the serial digital inputs to any of 5 digital outputs.

Further flexibility is provided on the audio side, with support for embedded digital audio selectable from any SDI input, as well as AES-EBU audio in and out.

While the SX-SDI adds additional inputs to VT[5], it does not limit the capacity of the SX-84 analog switcher. This means an SX-SDI added to a VT[5] LIVE! system continues to provide component, Y/C and composite in and out in addition to the digital connectivity.

SX-84
The NewTek SX-84 is the heart of the VT[5] LIVE! Switcher, offering component, Y/C or composite ins and outs, along with audio, preview, alpha channel, tally, GPI and machine control.

There are 8 Video input rows, but that does not indicate the true flexibility of this rack-mountable beauty measuring 18 7/8” wide by 10 ½” high (or 6 rack-units high) and 1 ½” deep.

This is a production switcher that saves you both time and money.

All inputs can use whatever cameras you have at your disposal, and unlike most switchers, does not require cameras to be genlockable. VT[5] performs all this internally, with each input having its own dedicated genlock controls in software. This means less gear to haul to a shoot, less time in setup and less investment for you to produce a multi-cam production. There is even an input for house synch, so you can time VT[5] to the other suites.

Whether you rely on a team or operate on your own, TriCaster BROADCAST makes it possible for you to deliver your network quality program to video, projector and web stream with a full range of professional tools including six camera inputs, live virtual sets, double box effects and much more.

NewTek SpeedEDIT™ is a resolution-independent video editor designed to work quickly and efficiently on any video project, from web streams to Standard
Definition (SD) to High-Definition(HD). SpeedEDIT™ works smoothly and natively with MPEG-2, AVI, QuickTime and most popular video formats in either SD or HD. Enjoy realtime, full resolution on-screen HD previews with FireWire output to camera or deck.

Rather than emulating the "old school" film-cutting workflow found in most
nonlinear editors, NewTek streamlines the editing process by eliminating many unnecessary steps. SpeedEDIT™ allows all editing functions to be performed directly on native clips within its unique timeline and storyboard interface. This avoids the time-wasting steps of transcoding or pre-trimming content. SpeedEDIT™ further accelerates your editing process by dynamically linking Storyboard and Timeline, which allows the performance of many common functions in fewer steps. Ripple edits, clip replacement, segment repositioning, 3D video rotation, colour correction, animated titles and Targa sequence playback are just a few of the everyday tasks that SpeedEDIT™ performs faster than any other professional editor.
