TriCaster 855 - Features

24-Channel, Multi-Camera Production.

With the 24 channel, multi-camera TriCaster 855, you can have up to 8 cameras, plus 5 digital media players for video clips, graphics and titles, and 2 network channels for sharing video and audio from any Windows PC, Mac or wireless iOS device. 8 M/E-style virtual inputs let you stage live virtual sets, and create custom picture effects and presets, when you need to give your big show even bigger impact.

Maximum Control.

The bigger your live production, the more sources there are that need close management. With keyboard and mouse control or the intuitive control surface, you can click your way to every function of the system. With the highly responsive control surface console, you get immediate control―a physical extension of your reflexes―orchestrating every move with familiar production controls at your fingertips, for live, hands-on navigation of the system UI.

Facility-Class.

TriCaster 855 glides smoothly into your control room or live truck rack—ready to rock. With redundant power supply and multi-tiered fail-safe, you have industrial-strength performance and the ability to adapt to every situation. Industry-standard SDI, more-extensive format compatibility than ever, and a long list of file types allow the TriCaster 855 to ease into your workflow and handle your most challenging needs.

Multi-Track Iso-Recording.

IsoCorder™ multi-track video recording technology combines the capabilities of literally racks of video capture equipment. This innovative technology saves loads of space, enhancing your studio with a powerful, built-in, real-time ISO recording system of all 8 camera inputs, simultaneously—right inside the user interface. Record your entire show, select camera footage, and more, at full resolution to meet your most challenging post-production demands.

Electrifying Visual Effects.

Customizing your signature look—even for multiple shows—requires a style that makes an impression on your audience. TriCaster 855 hosts the most powerful integrated effects engine in live production. Choose from full-color, animated transitions with alpha channel and embedded audio; deliver a cohesive presentation with imaginative, branded elements, like real-time cloth dynamics, 3D video warping and transformations with TransWarp effects and motion overlays. And, create your own custom effects using the included Animation Store Creator application.

One-Size-Fits-All File Compatibility.

TriCaster 855 lets you usher media assets from pre-production, to live (or from post to distribution), in no time. With QuickTime® encoded files embedded with timecode and 4 audio tracks, you have the comfort of a high-quality, universal file format that floats effortlessly between TriCaster, Mac® and Windows® platforms, and all common editing and post-production software. Plus, codecs for Mac and PC let you equip your entire facility to encode media assets for optimized, real-time playback.

High Capacity.

Enjoy the capacity for hundreds of hours of recorded media. 5 integrated digital media players are on-hand to augment your production, on top of 10 live and 8 virtual sources. Need more? Swap out media drives for more capacity. Use the session library to save settings and assets for each production. Shift from show to show—without missing a beat.

Future Proof.

Be prepared, no matter what. Go ahead and change the formats you produce in; TriCaster will be a step ahead with native resolution support from SD, to 1080p HD. You’ll never have to transcode or turn down content from different formats, resolutions, and file types—mix any of them natively for input, output or playback. And with instant access to free software updates, you can always count on having the latest features and constant innovation.

Record Live Streaming Video, Simultaneously.

You can, when both Web streaming and program recording are built right into your production operation. Maximize online views with support for multi-bitrate streaming profiles, and even access online CDN accounts and view streams in real time with a built-in Web browser. Without missing a beat, record the entire program in the background for uploading, later viewing, archiving, or saving to disk.

Stunning Studio Sets and Backgrounds.

Wow your audience, while raising eyebrows and the profile of your show. With built-in virtual sets, and support for standalone Virtual Set Editor 2.0, you can have a network-style studio environment without the high cost or heavy construction. Broadcast live from a multi-angle virtual set that sports your company logo, with key elements you can edit. Complement your presentation with double-box effects, featuring your own video and graphics.
