About NewTek TriCaster 460 Multi-Camera Production System without Control Surface

The NewTek TriCaster 460 Multi-Camera Production System without Control Surface (Educational Version) is a van-friendly, 2U, multi-camera, multi-input, multi-format switcher system that allows you to simultaneously broadcast, project, stream and record. It supports real-time, 4 M/E compositing and offers 3D and holographic virtual sets, transitions and brand elements and audio is adjustable for all input sources.

Built-in IsoCorder technology allows recording up to four isolated, simultaneous feeds during live production. You can instantly publish content to popular social media sites, upload to FTP sites, transfer to storage volumes/network locations, share clips and stills during production, or upload your entire show within minutes after production wraps. Custom memory presets and key commands allow you to streamline sophisticated operation sequences that are too complex for real-time action execution.

An advanced control interface is built into the system and a compatible control surface can optionally be purchased and incorporated. Two sets of keys are included for unlocking the unit from the front.

NewTek TriCaster 460 Multi-Camera Production System without Control Surface Features

  • Turnkey Production: Based on the innovative concept of a single system to broadcast, project stream and record simultaneously, TriCaster 460's multiple turnkey functions do the work usually requiring racks of equipment, but integrated into a small, van-friendly footprint instead
