NewTek unveils TriCaster Mini compact multimedia studio
The ultra-portable system, says NewTek, allows anyone who doesn’t speak or understand the technical language of video production or broadcasting to transform an ordinary presentation into engaging multimedia content that looks like network-style TV in a matter of minutes.
Marketers, corporate employees, small business managers, community administrators, educators, trainers, non-profit and worship service volunteers, and entertainers who are interested in delivering their messages like seasoned television professionals can now use TriCaster Mini to assemble visually sophisticated multimedia presentations – and stream them live, publish to social media or upload to a website from the office, an event, or any location with an Internet connection.
“With TriCaster Mini, we have built a product that gives anyone wishing to use video to communicate with others the ability to create content that looks like professionally made television in minutes where traditionally it took hours or days. Our goal is to dispel the myth that it’s too technologically difficult or expensive to produce engaging multimedia content, and we’ve achieved that with TriCaster Mini,” said Dr. Andrew Cross, president and chief technical officer for NewTek. “Video is the fastest growing and most compelling communication medium in history, and to stay relevant, people in all areas are finding it increasingly important to conduct video interviews, webcasts, and presentations that mix slides, video clips, graphics and more. No other system in the world makes it as easy for anyone to get started than TriCaster Mini.”
As newcomers become more comfortable with multimedia presentations, they can further explore a wide range of creative tools that come standard with TriCaster Mini, including: mix different sources; overlay logos, presentations, charts, titles, media fles and animations; import your own branding elements and have them appear in transitions and animations; incorporate a slideshow, web-pages from another computer; replace solid backgrounds with a simulated environment; webcast programmes on a live video stream; post clips to YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, your web site; record the programme so people can watch it on-demand; record all camera footage simultaneously so you can edit the programme; and make keyboard shortcuts for sophisticated sequences with one touch.
TriCaster Mini, including the optional integrated display screen and system storage capable of recording approximately 45 hours of footage, is available immediately for $7,995 USMSRP. TriCaster Mini is also available without the integrated display screen and system storage capable of recording approximately 15 hours of footage for $5,995 USMSRP. An optional control surface is available for $2,495 USMSRP, and an optional TriCaster Mini cable-kit with four 100-foot HDMI cables is also available for $495 USMSRP.
