Description
Product Overview
Vizrt TriCaster Vizion 8 SDI I/O is a 2RU live production switcher built for hybrid NDI and SDI workflows where flexible routing, high source counts, and operator access matter. It supports 44 simultaneous external video inputs, UHD sessions up to 2160p59.94, and eight configurable SDI connections for professional broadcast production. For sports broadcasting, live events, corporate communications, education AV, and remote production, it brings switching, audio, graphics, recording, and contribution tools into one production platform.
LivePanel Pro Browser Control for Remote Production
TriCaster LivePanel Pro gives operators browser-based access to modern widgets, low-latency video previews, intelligent state awareness, and real-time system feedback. Exclusive to TriCaster Prizm and Vizion, it gives distributed operators direct visual confirmation without requiring every control position to work from the primary system interface.
AI Keying and AR Graphics for Broadcast Storytelling
TriCaster Vizion AI/R adds real-time AI-powered keying and augmented reality graphics through an optional subscription. The workflow targets newsroom, sports, education, corporate broadcast, and virtual studio teams that want immersive graphics without building an entirely separate AR production chain.
8 Configurable SDI I/O for Hybrid NDI Production
Eight configurable SDI ports let operators assign local connections as inputs or outputs around the needs of each production. On this 8-I/O hardware configuration, four connections support 12G signals, with 12G/3G/HD-SDI formats supported according to the selected session standard. This makes the system well suited to control rooms combining baseband cameras, NDI sources, multiview feeds, and program outputs.
Live Call Connect for Zoom and Microsoft Teams Guests
Live Call Connect supports multiple simultaneous video-call inputs from Microsoft Teams, Zoom Meetings, and a web browser. Producers can integrate remote contributors into live broadcast, corporate communications, education AV, and hybrid event workflows without treating conferencing as a separate production system.
Broadcast Control Rooms
High source counts, SDI and NDI routing, genlock, waveform monitoring, and multiple mix outputs support daily broadcast workflows.
Sports Broadcasting
Eight M/E buses, keying, graphics, PTZ control, and UHD production support complex studio and venue shows.
Live Events
Configurable SDI outputs and remote guest integration fit conferences, staged events, award programs, and multi-room productions.
Corporate Communications
Live Call Connect, browser control, graphics, recording, and NDI networking support executive broadcasts and hybrid meetings.
Education AV
PTZ integration, remote contribution, macros, recording, and reusable graphics support campus media and lecture production.
Virtual Studio Teams
LiveSet, DataLink, Viz Flowics, keying, and optional AI/R tools support data-driven virtual production environments.
Vizrt Standard Support
TriCaster Vizion includes one year of standard support according to Vizrt's September 2026 technical specification. Optional advanced hardware replacement is available, and support coverage can be upgraded.
