High definition (HD), live, multi-camera video production no longer exists only in the realm of big television studios or giant production trucks with banks of monitors, miles of cables, tape machines, video recorders, video effects generators, titling stations, audio mixers and more. Today, all of that power, quality and potential exists in a 20-pound box small enough to fit in a backpack with the flexibility for one person or a small team to deliver network-quality video. TriCaster™ TCXD300 makes it possible for you to broadcast, project, live stream or record full HD programming.

TriCaster TCXD300 is a high definition, network-quality portable live production solution. In one small box you gain multi-channel HD switching, HD network-style virtual sets, HD titling, HD digital disk recording, audio mixing, HD editing, full HD streaming and more.

TriCaster™ TCXD300 represents the state-of-the-art in portable live production systems with the highest quality 32-bit floating point, 4:4:4:4 video processing. TriCaster TCXD300 accepts high definition video in both 1080i and 720p along with SDI, Y/C, component and composite. Whether you work with a team or operate on your own, TriCaster TCXD300 is easy to set up, portable and provides the following system benefits:

Pristine Video and Audio

• End-to-end HD 1080i video pipeline, including effects and virtual sets
• Video processing employs 32-bit floating-point precision, 4:4:4:4 video processing and component (YCbCrA) color (well beyond industry standard 10-bit)
• Four-channel audio processed at 48 kHz, 32-bit floating point
• Extensive audio input/output flexibility including Embedded SDI on all video channels, four channels of AES/EBU, and professional level balanced XLR/phone connectors
• All video inputs can be Proc-Amped, keyed and frozen, including titles and DDRs
• Integrated full field rate Waveform Monitor and Vectorscope with full color beam tracing
• Individual processing controls for both Main and VGA outputs
• Pristine capture of video or stills with support for full 4:2:2 up to 1920 x 1080 resolution at very high bit-rates
• Next-generation optimized user-interface design with key live production tools readily available, supported by the ability to quickly access controls to configure each source

Virtual Inputs and Live Virtual Sets

• Five Virtual Input functions, each similar to advanced mix/effects bus with positioning and overlay capabilities
• Use "virtual cameras" by populating multiple Virtual Inputs from a single camera source (and switch between them)
• Each source has a Proc Amp, keying, garbage matte and alpha channel support
• Layer up to five live video or CG sources (internal or supplied by network)
• Independent zoom and pan controls for each source that make composition and camera placement easy
• All Virtual Inputs provide an additional overlay channel with independent transitions and scaling capabilities
• Insert live video inputs into live virtual sets with ease
• Zoom the virtual camera smoothly and easily either interactively, or using automatic control to user specified zoom preset levels
• Presets provide quick convenient access to numerous Virtual Input setups

• HD-SDI and HD component plus SD-SDI, component, Y/C and composite input/output
• Mix source resolutions and aspect ratios (including HD and SD video)
• Simultaneous HD and SD video output with Proc Amp control
• iVGA™ supports unlimited networked computers as live inputs to the switcher 
• Simple live HD streaming with Adobe® Flash® or Windows Media® in either push or pull
• Record 18 hours of full HD 1080i video in high quality 100Mbps I-Frame only MPEG at up to 4:2:2 color precision
• Genlock input for broadcast system integration supports bi-level and tri-level references
• On-screen ISO monitoring for all switcher inputs (internal and external)
• Enhanced secondary video output for projector or second monitor (up to 1920 x 1200) with sophisticated full field-rate defielding and scaler processing offers varied displays including Program, Preview, Effects, all ISO sources, Waveform Monitor and Vectorscope, and more
• Dedicated upstream overlay with transitions with per source positioning, scaling, and color processing
• Two additional downstream overlay channels with individual transitions, scaling, position, keying and alpha channel
• Sophisticated control system for transitions, automated playback, overlays and more
• Next generation LiveMatte™ HD for incredibly clean real-time keying with advanced spill suppression and garbage matte controls.
• Convenient user presets available throughout the live production environment, including DDR playlists, Virtual Inputs, and audio mixers
• Integrated audio mixer with audio-follows-video and talk-over options
• Auxiliary audio output supports external mixing of sound from integrated media players for easy integration with complex audio installations and external mixing
• Edit title pages live, including changes to fonts, text sizes, graphic replacement and more
• Media player autoplay allows easy on-air cue of titles, video clips, sophisticated count-down capabilities and more
• DDR provides real-time dynamic playback speed control for clip playback
• New session system allows convenient storage and recall of complete configuration and playlist setups for different shows, locations and more
• Easy access to every important control during live production
• Support for LiveControl™ LC-11 hardware switcher
• Extensive file format support simplifies media import
• Integrated professional HD CG/Titling and real-time HD editing capabilities
