TriCaster™

This exclusive TriCaster technology is like nothing you've ever seen before. Each computer on the network runs a small application so it is 'seen' by TriCaster.

The TriCaster producer can then select any one of those computer screens, and bring it into the presentation in real time. This goes way beyond sharing graphics, though. Network IN is capable of bringing in full-screen images, animations and even video playing on the outlying computer with incredible clarity and smoothness.

The possibilities are exciting:

A co-worker breezes into the meeting with the latest ad storyboards or initial product videos. No longer do you have to halt the meeting for him to connect his system to the projector; just plug into the room's network connection, and with a couple mouse clicks, he can drive the video, while you archive this to digital video.

Financial information can change right before your eyes. One of the presenters displays a ticker page on his computer, which can be viewed by entire group with a single click.

TriCaster comes ready-to-go with hundreds of professional transitions: wipes, peels, 3D page curls and much more can be quickly dropped into the effects folder and easily arranged. All transitions serve dual duty, once in the switcher and again in the real-time editor. You can also choose which order effects will be recalled, and auto-advance to the next in line. Move to the next level of presentation with TriCaster. Using TriCaster VM™ you can use the transition selector to quickly dial in the effect you’d like.

Broadcasters have known for years the impact of combining live images with background video and graphics, and do so by replacing an onscreen color with video, or keying. You see it all the time in the evening weathercasts. You can work real-time or later in the editor with TriCaster’s keyer. Let TriCaster help bring along the sophistication of a television studio to your next presentation.

Picture this:

You can use any picture on computer in your live presentation. TriCaster's Picture Player is one of several inputs to the video mixer, and can display computer -based images in full detail.

Drop images into the Picture folder, re-arrange the playlist at will and play the images as an automated slideshow, or call them up in any order by clicking on the name on the playlist. Help your customers better understand each point by presenting supporting graphs and data.

A simple forward/back button below the picture monitor lets you set or change the pace at any time.

New Customer Relations

Never again do you have to limit your audience to the people in the room. Today's corporations are quietly discovering the competitive advantage that Internet streaming provides. Further, live streaming is more beneficial than on-demand, as viewers report stronger positive impressions when watching a live event. Let TriCaster help your key accounts, hot new leads, vendors and many others join in on your important meetings or events.

You can't tell the players without a program, and the fastest way to identify members and messages is with overlay. Quickly create key presentation points, identify all participants on-screen and do it professional flair. TriCaster has a simple click-and-replace method of text and values. Even though these pages can be easily set up by anyone, all templates have been professionally designed, so it is guaranteed to make you look good.

Quickly browse through your many choices of lower or full-screen graphics, quickly replacing the stand-in text with your own, and you're ready. Then, access any page with a click, and smoothly fade titles and text in and out. Create as many pages as you'll need from the various themes in TriCaster.
