Product Overview
The Vizrt TriCaster Vizion 16 SDI I/O is a 2RU live production switcher built for large NDI and SDI workflows where input count, routing flexibility, and operator access matter. It supports 44 simultaneous external video inputs, UHD sessions up to 2160p59.94, and configurable SDI connectivity for hybrid broadcast production. For sports broadcasting, live events, corporate communications, and remote production, it puts switching, audio, graphics, recording, and contribution tools in one production platform.
LivePanel Pro Browser Control for Remote Production
TriCaster LivePanel Pro control gives operators browser-based access to modern widgets, low-latency video previews, intelligent state awareness, and real-time system feedback. It is exclusive to TriCaster Prizm and Vizion, giving distributed operators visual confirmation without tying every control position to the main system UI.
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 is aimed at newsroom, sports, education, corporate broadcast, and virtual studio teams that need immersive graphics without building a separate specialist AR chain.
16 Configurable SDI I/O for Hybrid NDI Production
Configurable SDI I/O lets the 16-port hardware version assign local connections as inputs or outputs around the needs of the show. Vizrt's September 2026 specification states that this 16-I/O system supports six 12G connections, while the remaining configurable ports support the applicable 3G/HD-SDI formats. That flexibility is useful when a control room mixes baseband cameras, NDI sources, multiviews, and program feeds in the same production.
Live Call Connect for Zoom and Microsoft Teams Guests
Live Call Connect remote contribution supports multiple simultaneous video call inputs from Microsoft Teams, Zoom Meetings, and a web browser. Producers can bring remote guests into live broadcast, corporate communications, education AV, and hybrid event workflows without treating conferencing as a separate production island.
Broadcast Control Rooms
High source counts, SDI/NDI routing, genlock, waveform monitoring, and multiple mix outputs support daily broadcast workflows.
Sports Broadcasting
Eight M/Es, keying, graphics, PTZ control, and UHD production support complex venue and studio shows.
Live Events
Configurable outputs and remote guest integration fit award shows, conferences, staged events, 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, automated macros, 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 can be upgraded.
