We were delighted to be be visited, for the second time, by Will Waters from NewTek. This time Will brought with him two of NewTeks latest products the TriCaster 455 and TriCaster 8000. Combined with our TriCaster 855 we had the full range of NAB announced TriCasters in the TTFN Studio at the same time!

NewTek overview of the 8000:

TriCaster 8000—designed for production and media publishing professionals who deliver live video for large, complex events, with full integration of social media production tools. The system introduces extensive integration and customization options that include; virtually limitless scalability with third-party router support, recordable macros that can be triggered simultaneously, along with extensive effects and graphics capabilities with eight M/E rows. TriCaster 8000 includes a new social media-savvy “Share” panel that allows for video clips, individual stills, or batches of ISO-grabbed frames of the live show to be distributed to multiple social media platforms, including: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Flickr—or FTP-transferred to a directory—in a single pass. The seamless integration of live production with social media interaction provides immediacy, relevant content, and a unified brand for both traditional video and social media audiences.
