I’m checking with some of our technical staff, if I get anything useful back I will post with it.

I can be reached at cbaker (at) newtek (dot) com, but I should note that I handle social media communications, and do not have technical expertise in the TriCaster – for problems your best bet is to contact our support services.

We do have a couple of our sale engineers who frequent this forum and can answer technical and how-to questions.

For whatever reason, your post is showing in both forum sections, and a few of the replies are showing in both sections.

Sorry for your frustration, we do have folks responding here but has been inconsistent to say the least, and only recently was a formal assignment made for monitoring the NewTek TriCaster forum section, which you have posted in.

Some of the threads have been quite active here recently, and we’ll do our best to keep that consistent from this point forward in this section.

Do you have a question on a NewTek TriCaster or 3Play?

Actually, with all TriCaster models from the 455 up, both a keyboard/mouse and a control surface are provided, allowing for two operators to split tasks from the git-go. For the entry level TC40 the control surface is an option.

A third operator can be added to the mix for stored graphics and clips via the optional 850 TW which works with the 455 and up. This unit also provides slowmo/instant replay of a dedicated channel.

Another option is CG from another system via network using LiveText 2. There’s also iVGA (free) for bringing in graphics from networked systems, including Macs.

The large group of third party developers for TriCaster / 3Play also expand the options. ChyronHego’s ChryonIP for TriCaster, for example, can provide producers with up to two HD or SD full-motion channels of Chyron graphics – single-channel standard, second channel optional – that stream directly into the TriCaster over a network connection without tying up any of the video inputs. A lot of developers fit into the picture a lot of different ways, including a variety of control options:

In sum, while TriCaster is designed to allow for a single operator, it is by no means limited to a single operator even in the base configuration of all but the entry-level model.
