Features
Live video production has evolved dramatically into a new generation of programming. Programs once delivered to a single channel for one-time viewing are now intended for multiple screens, on-demand, online, and social media platforms. With this radical shift, producers understand they must engage viewers when and where they are ready; with the compelling, supplementary content they demand.
TriCaster 8000 is a complete live production and media publishing solution, built to keep pace with the rapidly changing landscape of video production, and to unleash the potential of your media strategy with unprecedented versatility.
It starts with a 24-channel switcher, amplified by 8 fully re-entrant M/E rows. It extends to external router support for large-scale, multi-camera production in native full-resolution HD, 8 channels of ISO recording in up to 1080p, and live output to up to 14 different display destinations. It boosts your content strategy with integrated social media sharing to publish to your host of social networks-live-keeping your brand consistent, and your audience engaged. And, with the world`s most powerful integrated effects system, it creates a mind-blowing, custom-branded visual masterpiece.

Production of Any Scale
Say "yes," even before you find out the camera count. The extraordinary versatility of the 24-channel TriCaster 8000 lets you scale up or down to accommodate every program imaginable. Expand to unprecedented coverage with massive, multi-camera production through external video routers. Add a dedicated audio operator and social media producer. Send 8 independent output feeds to 14 destinations, for broadcast, stream, display-even over the network transmission to another TriCaster. Smaller program? Shrink back down to size-and let one operator handle the show.
Social Media Integration
In the age of second and third screens, your social media image is critical to developing a following-not to mention, grabbing the attention of sponsors, advertisers and partnership opportunities. The one-of-a-kind social media publishing application of TriCaster 8000 instantly links you with all of your social networks-like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube-so you can share, distribute, and engage instantly, even while the action`s live.
Endless Customization
Every production has its own concept-and all producers, their own vision. TriCaster 8000 stands apart, from the most subdued production designs, to the most fanciful-with ease, thanks to an intuitive, endlessly configurable architecture that puts every idea into the realm of possibility. Start with the broad, creative canvas of 8 M/E buses-and loop them into each other for real-time layered compositions. Explore new possibilities for sensational visual sequences, with recordable macros and one-touch automation. You can even personalize your control room, by creating custom workspace, and monitoring solutions from up to four displays-with presets to suit operator preference.
Multi-Track ISO Recording
IsoCorder multi-track video recording technology captures incoming sources into the system, saving all your live footage and literally racks of video capture equipment. This innovative technology enhances 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
Being recognizable, instantly-across all media requires a style that makes an impression on your audience. TriCaster 8000 hosts the most powerful integrated effects engine in live production. Customize full-color, animated transitions with alpha channel and embedded audio, and punctuate with imaginative, branded elements designed into real-time cloth dynamics, 3D video warping and transformations with TransWarp effects, and motion overlays. Plus, you can create your own custom effects using the included Animation Store Creator application.
Sophisticated Sequences-Simplified
With TriCaster 8000, elaborate live production sequences are no longer nail-biters. You know how they`ll turn out, because you automate them yourself. Seamlessly string together complex effects and creative elements with macros, triggered by keyboard shortcuts and control surface actions. Or, for a presentation that is even more visually remarkable, configure talent-driven, on-camera hotspots. With the wave of a hand or a walk across the stage, the scene switches-and your show takes on a whole new dimension with interactive elements in step with your talent`s presentation.
Stunning Studio Sets and Backgrounds
Even if your "set" is really a multi-purpose room or the corner of a studio, your viewers will only see your professional brand shine through. With the TriCaster 8000 system`s virtual sets, you can elevate your look with realistic foregrounds and moving backgrounds. Add realism to any virtual set with four live sources-each with four layers of overlay, all with transitions, sounds, 3D positioning and effects. Live camera moves and shot changes during production bring your new location to life.
New Dimensions in Live 3D Video
Push the boundaries of visual technology with real-time, live 3D-be ready when everyone else catches up. With the anaglyph filter affect, 3D video streams can be switched just like any other source-without requiring either complex configuration steps or cumbersome operator manipulations. Audiences will never forget your productions-and they`ll keep coming back to you for more.
Record Live Streaming Video, Simultaneously
You live for "live" and on-demand, as do your viewers. Gear up right for the modern way to watch-anytime, anywhere-with both Web streaming and program recording 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 an integrated Web browser. Without missing a beat, record the entire program in the background for uploading, later viewing, archiving, or saving to disk.
One-Size-Fits-All File Compatibility
A large-scale production environment can easily take on a life of its own. TriCaster 8000 intelligently adapts to the nuances of your creative process, natively supporting a massive array of media formats. And with capture to 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 you can equip your entire facility to encode media assets for optimized, real-time playback, with included codecs for Mac and PC.
Remote Audio Control
The integrated multi-channel audio mixer supports a companion Apple iPad application that delivers fingertip control over sound, plus Avid Artist Series hardware control surfaces if you prefer a more hands-on approach. Undock the mixer and share the workload. Check levels and adjust the mix from any location in the production venue. Total flexibility for top-quality sound.
