TriCaster 2 Elite Advanced Software Capabilities

Live Call Connect
Many types of live productions are enhanced with the ability to easily bring in participants who are located remotely. Live Call Connect functionality integrates many of the most commonly used Internet conferencing applications including Microsoft Skype™, Microsoft Teams™, Zoom Meetings™, GoToMeeting™, Discord™, and Tencent™.

Productions are enhanced with real-time interactions that feature multiple high quality video and audio inputs, so that show producers are able to connect between studios and remote guests or callers from anywhere in the world, without compromise or worrying about connectivity.


Internet Media On-Demand Input
Effortlessly bring on-demand streams into productions using Internet based sites and sources for media. This capability enables using additional external sources for content that users have rights to. Media can be quickly searched for and played out from a web browser to include the material as an input into any production.

Live Story Creator
Production automation helps many types of programs get delivered efficiently and consistently. Live Story Creator lets you deliver stories easily and effortlessly without needing technical expertise. Producers and directors are not required to have in-depth knowledge of how the automation or live production systems work. Instead of the usual production system interface, users focus on the teleprompter to run programs. A complete show is created using normal text and pre-defined syntax such as headers and comments forming a script from a Microsoft Word® document that contains:

Teleprompter content, functionality, and control
Embedded triggers for NewTek TriCaster switching, transitions, keying, and clip playout operations
Cues for graphics insertion using NewTek LiveGraphics
