China National Acrobatic Troupe Hits The Screens in Xátiva, Spain

Outstanding Performance!

TriCaster TCXD850’s performance was "outstanding”, commented Modosdever’s operators and technicians after this successful experience. Confident about the power and stability of the system, the media company opted to use it to produce and stream the subsequent events celebrated this week in the context of the fair. TriCaster TCXD850 (still in its demo version), thus became the backbone of the fair’s live production system!

Reliability

The coverage of large events requires complex technical equipment and configurations. Lightweight and compact, TriCaster portable live production system is an integrated technical solution enabling to simultaneously produce, live stream, broadcast, project and record HD and SD network-style productions, without incurring the expenses and resources traditionally involved in such cases.

"I’ve been in the audiovisual sector for 20 years and I’ve been providing services for events for about 15 years. I admit that the "all-in-one” multimedia concept had always intrigued me. The idea that one system can do it all sometimes raises doubts. But this system [TriCaster], proved to be highly reliable!” said Manuel Tomas, Technical Director at Modosdever.

Portability and convenience

One of the operators’ concerns had to do with the volume and weight of this new unit which, unlike previous models, comes in a rack mount form factor. "TriCaster TCXD850 proved to be a valid system in terms of portability and convenience," said Manuel Tomas. "It's much more practical to move a poly-functional module like this one and be able to safely mount a successful event in a short time, than to move and handle all the pieces of equipment usually required for this type of event...a switcher, a tape machine, a video recorder, an audio mixer, a camera monitoring system, miles of cables, the equipment necessary to perform the web streaming, a titling station, monitors and so on..."

Ease of use

Powerful, yet true to the TriCaster tradition, the new TriCaster TCXD850 proved to be easy to learn and use, with the flexibility for one person or a small team to deliver HD network-quality video. "This was the first time I was using TriCaster" recounts Manuel Tomas. "I had about fourty minutes to practice and yet the system was very easy to handle!"

Mission accomplished!

"This first experience with TriCaster TCX850 was a real success!" said Sergio Ballesteros, IDCromvideo, who assured the support and technical assistance throughout the event. "Even as a demo unit, its performance was exceptional! The system proved to be stable, powerful and easy to use”.

"It's amazing what you can do with TriCaster! The equipment was very easy to handle, even for someone using it for the first time. The system showed no fatigue nor suffered failure of any kind. It largely fulfilled my expectations! Now, I have it clear how I can limit expenses and expand the range of services I provide to my customers."
