The NewTek TriCaster TC1 Video Switcher & Small Control Panel Kit provides you with an end-to-end IP video production solution supporting UHD 4K switching, live streaming, recording, data-driven graphics, virtual sets, social media publishing, and more.
The TC1 is a 2 RU switcher that supports up to 16 simultaneous video sources via SDI and NDI inputs in any mix of resolutions up to UHD at 60 fps. NDI is NewTek's innovative royalty-free IP connectivity standard that lets you seamlessly interact with any other NDI-capable device on the network. The TC1 is also upgradeable with optional modules to support 16 SDI inputs.
The Small Control Panel offers 14 switcher source buttons, 11 M/E source buttons arranged in 1.5 stripes, a T-bar, and a 3-axis joystick. It connects to the TC1 over USB interface and doesn't require a separate power supply.
Produce professional live and recorded content in SD, HD, or UHD 4K with the NewTek TriCaster TC1. Its 16 potential video sources can be used simultaneously, regardless of resolution. And with NewTek's Network Device Interface (NDI), many types of video sources can be connected directly via standard network infrastructure. The unit itself contains four SDI inputs and outputs for direct connection of broadcast video and audio sources. HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI can be used for displaying multiview screens. Embedded audio and local XLR or 1/4" balanced audio can be mixed and manipulated using the internal digital audio mixer.
All the performance of the TC1 is available in a compact 2 RU form factor which can be secured with other equipment in a standard equipment rack. Control surfaces, monitors, and NDI video converters can be purchased separately to expand the functionality of the TC1. Whether broadcasting sports, talk shows, concerts, worship services, or anything else, the TriCaster TC1 is a solid center point with which to bring together your broadcast infrastructure.
