SIS LIVE’s Multi-Camera, Mobile Video Streaming Production Unit Powered by NewTek TriCaster TCXD850

SISCaster is a highly innovative, sophisticated, affordable and easy to use system that integrates multiple wireless cameras, its own IP uplink and all the facilities normally found in a high end scanner into a vehicle the size of a standard carrier. The unit is ideal for traditional program making, product launches and for covering live events on big screens while simultaneously feeding video, recording and broadcasting to the internet. SISCaster HD delivers a full HD signal and can connect and mix up to 8 HD cameras.

SISCaster HD uses the latest self aligning VSAT satellite technology to offer unlimited streaming at a choice of bit rates to any server required. It also encodes edited clips or the live vision mixer output, using the on-board Windows Media, QuickTime, Real Player, iPhone and Flash encoders with multistream capability.

In its latest unit, SIS LIVE has integrated NewTek’s TriCaster TCXD850, the newest and award-winning member of the TriCaster family in HD/SD. TriCaster TCX850 is designed to meet the most demanding HD production requirements. This 22-Channel HD/SD live production switcher comes in a rack mount form factor, with redundant power and removable storage; eight external sources, eight virtual/mix channels; new live HD virtual sets and advanced matte generation; overlay with rotation, positioning and scaling in 3D plus animated effects; HD live streaming; increased media player capabilities, and multi-view monitoring of all inputs and outputs. The new TriCaster TCXD850 is easy to learn and use, with the flexibility for one person or a small team to deliver HD network-quality video.
