Enter live webcasting. Emerge victorious.

TriCaster 410 is built for people like you: live event webcasters, videoconference studios, meeting and event staffs, streaming media pros and mid-size worship producers. Anyone who wants to create the highest-quality, professional live video projects with SDI cameras, minimal budgets and tight spaces and not look back when the event is over.If your business is geared to get somewhere quickly, set up and produce live events then move on to the next project dont burden it with a bunch of extra equipment, setup time and cost.

The most streamlined of our professional models, TriCaster 410 delivers live to air, display, stream, record, and social media networkall at the same time. Its mobile, 2U form factor provides uncluttered I/O in any combination of resolutions and frame rates, trims the workflow and the equipment expenditure to fit your live business, and slims down on the post-production extras.

Don’t worry. Your shows will look anything but small. TriCaster 410 integrates every production component you need to produce sophisticated, multi-camera events and deliver them live to any screen. It then goes even further to deliver super-charged visuals, generated by the most powerful switcher-effects engine available. Like 3D holographic virtual sets. Mix/effect banks that extend your submix and switching capabilities by a factor of four. Multi-channel media delivery with simultaneous streaming and social media publishing. And a slew of productivity-enhancing tools that let you focus on all the action between fade up and fade to black.

TOP FEATURES

Turnkey Production
Based on the innovative concept that a single system can broadcast, project, stream and record, simultaneously, TriCaster 410s multiple turnkey functions do the work that usually requires racks of equipment, but integrates into a turnkey solution that saves space, setup, cabling and expense. Just one system replaces gear for recording, encoding, switching, submixing, playback, audio mixing, DVE, advanced graphics and titling, animation store, scan conversion, multiple channels of virtual sets, live streaming, camera automation, scopes and monitors, and social media publishing.

Small Footprint
Mountains of gear are a thing of the past. Make the most of just 2U of rack space in a flightpack or tight space, and gain a freedom of movement that’s just not possible with racks of individual components pieced together. Available with or without a compact counter-sunk or countertop control surface that goes anywhere.

SDI I/O
TriCaster 410 provides SDI connectivity to keep your productions professional, and standardized to your predictable infrastructure and workflow. Input up to four camerascolor correct, key, crop, scale, and frame sync them toowith varying SD and HD resolutions and formats. SDI output connections can send your program out (and an auxiliary output too) to multiple destinations and displayseven send the program to another TriCaster over the network with a network output.

15-channel Multi-camera Production
Connectivity for 4 SDI camera sources. Video playback from 2 DDRsnot just short clips with an overly restrictive frame count: were talking full-length packages and whatever else you need. Digital media from 2 built-in graphic and sound slots. 2 network sources for sharing computer displays, wireless iOS devices, or any over-the-network source. And 4 M/E banks to stage live virtual sets, create real-time compositions and presets, and submixes that can act as upstream switchers (or secondary programs out).

Expanded Media Sources: Buffers and Network Inputs
Real-time 15-channel production is just the start. TriCaster 410 gives producers instant access to even more content in real-time, without adding equipment or crew. Still and title buffers provide 15 bonus, always on” sources. And enhanced network inputs support cloud video, streaming servers, remote cameras, remotely hosted clips, USB cameras and more, dramatically expanding content and programming possibilities without taking up a hardware input.

Audio Mixing
The TriCaster integrated multi-channel audio mixer is loaded with enhancements that raise the caliber of your shows sound to the same professional, network quality as the visuals. Unprecedented routing, customization, control and flexibilityand further opportunities for sound configuration and delivery like simulcast audio, multi-language presentation, and mix-minus applications (such as Skype calls and phoners)without the investment in scores of external hardware. If live control by an audio operator is what you want, you get full support for mixing from our iPad remote mixer app, the Avid Artist Mix control surface, and other third-party audio control interfaces.

Visual and Motion Effects
TriCaster 410 has the most powerful integrated effects engine available in live production. From full-color, animated transitions with alpha channel and embedded audio, to real-time cloth dynamics, 3D video warping, and transformations with TransWarp effects and motion overlays; all the way to your own custom, branded effects using the included Animation Store Creator application, and real-time, multi-layered compositions with 4 M/E rows and motion effects. TriCaster 410 lets nothing stand in the way of getting the look you want or the professional presentation your organization demands.

Automation
Automation functions in TriCaster 410 help you experiment with more complex sequences but leave nothing to chance during a live production. Reduce on-air mistakes with macrosstreamline real-time shot sequences that make the show look more sophisticated, but are too complicated to execute live and risk costly errors. Unlimited external control functions with MIDI sequencing enables show control of nearly any command, or offloading tasks to additional crew. Using hotspots, talent can trigger automated sequences requiring extraordinary timing with on-camera gestures, effectively controlling a segment without an operator. And add remotely controlled robotic cameras as input sources, without the need to add camera operators.

Virtual Sets
Even if your “set” is really a multi-purpose room or the corner of a studio, your viewers will not only see your professional brand shine throughtheyll see any world you want to create, without the high cost or heavy construction. With TriCaster 410 system’s virtual sets, you can elevate your look with realistic foregrounds and live moving backgrounds. Not just high-end studio looks either: take a panoramic of any location with your smart phone, or a 3D model from any universe you create, and make it your scene using our holographic LiveSet capability, bringing augmented reality that much closer to live. Add real-time energy to any virtual set with two live sourceseach with overlay, all with transitions, sounds, 3D DVEs and effects. Live camera moves and shot changes during production bring your new location to life.

Social Media Publishing
With a brief setup beforehand and the real-time grab of a shot, generate second-screen content for sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter during the live show, and extend your brand to online and second-screen platformsor share assets to common storage locations for instant access by others. Hey, set it all up with a macro and just push a button, and youve increased your program exposure without adding equipment, personnel, or lag time.

External and Third-Party Applications
Through our third-party developer network, TriCaster 410 supports an extended set of products that work directly with the system to provide innovative solutions and workflows in several different areas of your live production, including streaming, graphics, content and controllers. Our SDK enables developers and customers to tap into the power of TriCaster functionality, add applications that enhance the production workflow, and further extend integration with standard and custom installations. And our own suite of peripheral applications and hardware control surfaces rounds out the total solution.
