NewTek TriCaster Advanced Edition 3 Software Update for Advanced Edition v1/v2 Systems (Download)

Expand the capabilities of your TriCaster switcher with TriCaster Advanced Edition 3 Software from NewTek. Because Advanced Edition 3 is only a software update, the physical setup of your switcher does not change, but the capabilities of the very same hardware are expanded. This software update is compatible with the TriCaster 8000, 860, 855, 460, 455, 410, and Mini.

This version is for TriCaster customers who have Advanced Edition v1 or v2 already installed. A serial number is required for purchase.

The TriCaster Advanced Edition 3 software update offers numerous enhancements such as full NDI integration in IP workflows. The software now supports up to 8 or 12 external inputs, depending on your model, and up to 4 video mix outputs with full NDI support. The number of supported PTZ cameras has also been expanded to 8 or 12 cameras, depending on the model of your system. The control interface has been enhanced adding different types of display layouts for different experience levels. The interface can also be accessed with a touchscreen display that supports Windows 7 for handy touch-based control. The 8000, 860, and 460 models benefit from the new full-motion composition engine which supports advanced positioning, keyframing, and effects.

Advanced Edition 3 allows you to livestream to various services such as Facebook Live, Microsoft Azure, Periscope, Twitch, and YouTube Live, and you can share media to numerous social network accounts and export to online video sites. You can also map real-time data into your graphics from various external sources such as spreadsheets or browser data. The update adds 5 animation buffers for effects and motion graphics, makes room to add custom transitions in your playlists, and features more overlays.
