a large number of channels and
securely isolate content for each
user.

NewTek Introduces TriCaster TC1
N

ewTek has announced TriCaster
TC1, the culmination of more than
a decade of IP video experience for
live production, with uncompromising
support for 4K UHD.
TriCaster TC1 supports 16 external
inputs of up to 4K UHD 60p resolution
without
sacrificing
functionality.
Powered by NewTek's NDI technology

for IP-based workflows, TriCaster TC1
also offers multiple studio-grade Skype
TX channels for adding remote video
guests to live shows.
"Working with IP video makes
you feel like you are living in the
future, today," said Dr Andrew Cross,
NewTek's President and CTO.
"Once you have it, you can't imagine

TriCaster TC1

going back. It enables so many new
ways of working and greatly simplifies
infrastructure.
"It also makes things like live
streaming even easier. I can't imagine
anyone buying a product today that
isn't capable of delivering content to
all of the places the viewers want to
watch."
NewTek's software-driven, IP-native
approach to 4K eliminates the need
for conversion to and from baseband
video, allowing all integrated features
including video playback, mix/effect
busses, keying layers, and streaming
to be 4K-capable.
TriCaster TC1 has 16 inputs available,
regardless of video resolution, and
NewTek's top of the line IP Series now
offers 44 external inputs in 4K UHD
without sacrificing functionality.
