NewTek TCM4KUHD TriCaster TC Mini, TriCaster TC Mini 4K - includes two Spark Plus 4K IO Converters

The NewTek TCM4KUHD TriCaster TC Mini is a compact, all-in-one multimedia solution that allows you to simultaneously broadcast, stream, and record live productions from virtually anywhere. The switcher makes it very easy to switch between up to eight IP NDI video sources, mix audio, add graphics and titles, and add advanced effects like virtual sets and animated transitions. Using the same intuitive and fully featured control software as the rest of the TriCaster professional line, the TriCaster Mini is suited for both new users and seasoned pros. You can choose from eight NDI devices over the network, including computers, PTZ cameras, or even wireless capture devices. Also, the NewTek TCM4KUHD TriCaster TC Mini allows you to output two independent streams over IP, as well as two independent NDI mix outputs. The NewTek TCM4KUHD TriCaster TC Mini also includes two input modules that allow HDMI sources to instantly convert to NDI signals, connecting via PoE to the Mini. Four DisplayPort outputs with HDMI adapters are provided for sending the Program output with audio to external devices, two of which support multiview output with standard resolutions. The NewTek TCM4KUHD TriCaster TC Mini can record up to four simultaneous video input or output signals at full resolution to an external storage drive connected via USB 3.0. The TriCaster Mini supports live streaming with presets available for industry-standard live content delivery networks such as YouTube and Facebook Live. Additionally, you can save a web-ready streaming file for later upload to popular social media or video-on-demand sites.
