To name just a few:
 Multiple software failsafe systems continually monitor and safeguard the
live performance. Any recoverable software error conditions are quickly and
unobtrusively dealt with.
 Video pass-through (not a TriCaster Mini feature) ensures that as long there
is AC power, audio and video from Input 8 (on 8-input models) or Input 4 (4-
input models) are routed to Output 1 in a case of catastrophic software
condition.
 If at all possible, streaming output and recording also continue even if all
else fails.
 TriCaster also has a comprehensive integrated system restore feature.
Operators can quickly and easily restore to factory defaults, or create a
custom restore image on another drive and either restore from that drive or
use the backup drive to boot from if a complete hard drive failure ever
occurs.
 Should a ‘less than ideal’ control surface USB connection fail, TriCaster will
automatically restart it without user intervention.
2.5.3 A/V INPUT AND OUTPUT
 Live switch up to eight live video sources (8-input models).
 TriCaster 460, 860 and 8000 support SDI and analog video input and output,
plus internal and local or remote network video sources. TriCaster 410
offers HD-SDI input and output without analog support, while TriCaster Mini
employs HDMI video input and output.
 TriCaster 8000 only: connect popular video routers to greatly multiply input
options.
 Professional BNC video connectors provide increased durability and
reliability for camera connections. (TriCaster Mini includes strain relief
provisions for HDMI cabling.)
 Control supported robotic (PTZ) cameras via network or serial connection.
 Freely mix 16:9 or 4:3 SD formats, and output HD sessions as HD and SD (4:3
or 16:9) simultaneously from HD sessions.
 Multiple Media Player modules allow you to insert pre-recorded video,
music, sounds and imagery into your live presentations.
