To name just a few:
 Multiple software failsafe systems continually monitor and safeguard the
live performance. Any recoverable software error conditions are quickly and
unobtrusively dealt with.
 Video pass-through (see Section 8.1.5) ensures that as long there is AC
power, audio and video from Input 8 (on 8-input models) or Input 4 (4-input
models) are routed to Output 1 in a case of catastrophic software condition.
 If at all possible, streaming output and recording also continue even if all
else fails.
 TriCaster also has a comprehensive integrated system restore feature.
Operators can quickly and easily restore to factory defaults, or create a
custom restore image on another drive and either restore from that drive or
use the backup drive to boot from if a complete hard drive failure ever
occurs.
 Should a ‘less than ideal’ control surface USB connection fail, TriCaster will
automatically restart it without user intervention.
2.5.3 A/V INPUT AND OUTPUT
 Live switch up to eight live video sources (8-input models), including SDI,
*analog, or a mixture of both types, plus internal and local or remote
network video sources. (*TriCaster 410 does not have analog video inputs.)
 TriCaster 8000 only: connect popular video routers to greatly multiply input
options.
 Professional BNC video connectors provide increased durability and
reliability for camera connections.
 Control supported robotic (PTZ) cameras via network or serial connection.
 Freely mix 16:9 or 4:3 SD formats with HD sources live.
 Output HD sessions as HD and SD (4:3 or 16:9) simultaneously from HD
sessions.
 Multiple Media Player modules allow you to insert pre-recorded video,
music, sounds and imagery into your live presentations.
 Select Microsoft Windows® or Apple Macintosh® computers on the same
network as Switcher inputs for your live productions using NewTek's iVGA™
clients.
