TriCaster LiveControl LC-11

For a physical connection to each input during your live presentation, NewTek offers LiveControl™ with large, back-lit, easy-to-read buttons allowing for easy transition from one source to the next without looking down or using a keyboard or mouse.

As the core component of live video production, the Switcher combines a multitude of visual sources - live cameras, videotape decks, digital disk recorders (DDRs), CG pages and graphics - with digital video effects in real-time.

NewTek LiveControl™ is an optional TriCaster™ and VT[5] switching control surface for portable live production and virtual set systems that provides touch control of each input for more compelling productions with tighter pacing. LiveControl can be used in tandem with NewTek’s other new LiveText™ and TimeWarp™ accessories to more efficiently integrate titling, replay and slow motion into your live productions.

With LiveControl, a director and technical director can focus on their respective production roles to improve the accuracy, pacing and overall quality of live web casts and video projects. The simple layout and large back-lit buttons provide the physical touch and feel of control mechanisms familiar to professional technical directors, so they you operate a TriCaster right out of the box. LiveControl allows technical directors to keep their eyes forward and react quickly, which is important in fast-paced production.
