1.) LIVE PRODUCTION INTERFACE allows you to control an entire multi-camera, HD production. Connect up to eight high definition (HD) or standard definition (SD) cameras, digital or analog audio, and take your production live with the power to simultaneously broadcast, live stream, project and record.

2.) LIVE DESKTOP MONITORS let you set and select shots with confidence. Full field rate displays include live cameras, DDRs, still and title graphics, and network computer sources (PC and Mac® displays supported through NewTek iVGA™ technology). Integrated multi-view monitoring allows you to select from assorted views and send all on-screen monitors to a second display to expand your workspace.

3.) PROGRAM MONITOR shows the current video output of your live production, allowing you to see what your audience is seeing. You can also access controls for stream and record functions, configure your video output, and more.

4.) LOOK AHEAD PREVIEW MONITOR displays your upcoming video output. Prepare multi-layered effects, preview the output as it will appear live, and then switch with confidence.

5.) ONE-BUTTON INTERNET STREAMING allows you to use Adobe® Flash® or Microsoft® Windows Media® to deliver a full HD live stream directly to the Web, with simultaneous archive for later viewing. Most common live streaming profiles are supported, in up to 720p resolution – the highest in the industry.

6.) ONE-BUTTON RECORDING captures content from your live production at full resolution (up to 1080p). Record your entire presentation for later use or capture clips for DDR playback during the show.

7.) LIVE PRODUCTION SWITCHER gives you total control over all 24 channels, including eight external video sources, eight virtual mix/effect-style channels, five internal digital media players, two external network inputs, frame buffer and black. Custom names can be added to switcher sources.

8.) UTILITY ROW makes it easy to assign sources to the Effects (FX) bus, downstream key (DSK) channels, and auxiliary (AUX) output. Utility Delegate controls let you use the Utility Row to apply selections to individual or multiple delegates, simultaneously.

9.) UTILITY DELEGATE lets you set the Utility Row to send video and graphics to the FX bus, DSKs, and/or AUX output. Delegates currently affected by Utility Row selections are highlighted, while sources currently assigned are displayed for easy reference.

10.) VIRTUAL INPUTS are powerful virtual mix/effect channels that allow you to assign complex switcher effects to one button. TriCaster 850 includes eight fully customizable Virtual Inputs, each with multiple presets.

11.) TRANSITION CONTROLS let you transition individual or multiple video layers on and off screen. Select the Transition Delegate button of the desired video layer(s), then use manual or auto controls to perform single-source transitions, or switch from one multi-source composition to another.

12.) TRANSITIONS add interest and impact to your live production. TriCaster 850 includes more than 200 broadcast-quality HD effects.

13.) HD LIVE VIRTUAL SETS let you achieve the look of a network-style studio in a limited space, using innovative NewTek LiveSet™ technology. Instantly select close-up, medium, medium-wide and wide angle shots, or perform smooth, animated zooms - without moving the camera. Sets include double-box effects and options for seated or standing presentations.

14.) VIRTUAL INPUT CONTROLS let you select two primary switcher sources, create a mix/effect-style composition, and use an additional source as an overlay. Configure virtual sets, layer live elements, set upstream picture-in-picture effects, and more.

15.) DIGITAL MEDIA PLAYERS include two DDRs for video playback, a titles bin, a stills store, and a sound player, making it easy to add video clips, music, images, and more, including clips captured during a live event for immediate playback. HD and SD resolutions are supported in a variety of popular file formats.

16.) LIVE TITLES give your production a network-style finish. Bring in graphics, titles, and animated overlays to layer on your live video, lock a title or bug to a camera or Virtual Input, and set the in and out motion for each. Title pages can be edited, even when they are displayed live.

17.) MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO MIXER gives you control over microphones, line inputs and clip playback levels, with audio-follows-video support and auxiliary routing to integrate an external audio setup.
