NewTek TriCasters – The Magic behind the scenes…

2
Digg me

A lot of people are wondering how mega parties are created with multi-video streams, some of them live from several roaming cameras in the party. Well, its quite simply really, this magic is done with a tool called a Tricaster which is explained below.

So, the next time you are out having the time of your life at some mega celebrity party and your girlfriend or boyfriend asks you if you have any idea how those multi-screen arrays of video are being updated live with footage from the camera currently pointing in your face – you can quickly tell him or her its probably being done with a tricaster.

For those of you who have experience doing NLE or non-linear editing, you know that doing special effects in adobe aftereffects can take a massive amount of time, compositing and even more time in rendering. For you, this real time rendering magic is probably even more intriguing because you know what goes on behind the scenes. Well, again, the magic is being done by a tricaster which is able to take in multiple live camera inputs and put out special video effects, stream mixing and output in real time with the incoming streams.

Yes, its almost like magic.
