TriCaster™
Portable Production System

TriCaster™ is a portable production system that makes it possible for you to simultaneously deliver your message to video, projector and the Web. At just under 10-pounds and the size of a shoe box, TriCaster can be taken anywhere. Connect three cameras, and live mix your camera sources with video from the TriCaster virtual VCR’s. Use cut and fade transitions or any one of the 200-plus video effects that come with the system. Now your production is complete and polished with opening titles, closing credits and graphics.

For $4995, you’re ready to live broadcast or stream your production to the world.
