Using PTZOptics NDI-enabled Producer Kits with TriCaster
June 28, 2017 by Chuck Baker
In this video, Paul Richards of PTZOptics shows how to use NewTek Connect Pro to provide NDI® IP workflow capability with their Producer Kits, and how to use the kits with TriCaster®. NewTek Connect Pro is now bundled with the Producer Kits, which provide a PTZ camera complete with PTZ joystick controller, cabling and a self-contained streaming system.
While a kit can be used for simple streaming without added production values, for a show with full broadcast production values such as graphics and text overlays, animated transitions, multi-layered video, virtual sets, etc., you would use a kit in conjunction with a multi-camera integrated production system such as TriCaster.
The Producer Kits consist of:

PTZOptics Gen-2 12X or 20X Camera
HuddleCam HD RS232 Joystick
