Top 10 Products of 2007
How do you take a product that is already in a league of its own and make it even more powerful? I don't know how they do it, but the folks at Newtek keep making TriCaster the world's best portable digital mixing and streaming solution. TriCaster Studio has the added ability to switch between even more sources – up to 6 cameras plus 2 streams of video from the hard drive. You can stream your production out over the internet or save it as an avi or wmv file or both at the same time! Even better - You can easily export the files for DVD or Video Podcasts!
But that's not all. By far and away the coolest new feature in TriCaster Studio is the virtual set technology. That's right; you can instantly superimpose your talent into virtual sets with support for multiple camera angles. To say these virtual sets look good and professional is an understatement. They are stunning and the quality of the keying is superb. If you already own the TriCaster Pro you can upgrade with virtual set software for only $1,995. Standard TriCaster owners can upgrade as well, but it requires a trade in of your system to be upgraded to Pro.
