Product description Make yourself a fully functional NDI-based studio with the NewTek TriCaster TC1 MAX Bundle. This bundle is comprised of the NewTek TriCaster TC1 rackmount switcher, a TriCaster NC1 rackmount 8-channel NDI I/O module, and a two-stripe Large Control Panel for the TC1 switcher.The TC1 switcher has local SDI I/O for SD, HD, or 4K signals, and it connects with the NC1 module to add an additional eight channels of I/O. Four channels of I/O on the NC1 can be ganged together for 4K capabilities. Since the module and the switcher connect via Ethernet, the two can be placed physically anywhere on the same local network without any video or audio quality penalties. Connect the Large Control Panel and get precise control of the TC1's functions at your fingertips. See below for more information on the individual items included in this kit. - TriCaster TC1 (3 RU, Redundant Power Supply) Produce professional live and recorded content in SD, HD, or UHD 4K with the NewTek TriCaster TC1. Its 16 potential video sources can be used simultaneously, regardless of resolution. And with NewTek's Network Device Interface (NDI), many types of video sources can be connected directly via standard network infrastructure. The unit itself contains four SDI inputs and outputs for direct connection of broadcast video and audio sources. HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI can be used for displaying multiview screens. Embedded audio and local XLR or 1/4" balanced audio can be mixed and manipulated using the internal digital audio mixer.All the performance of the TC1 is available in a 3 RU form factor with a redundant 500W PSU, for an extra degree of protection against electrical failure. Control surfaces, monitors, and NDI video converters can be purchased separately to expand the functionality of the TC1. Whether broadcasting sports, talk shows, concerts, worship services, or anything else, the TriCaster TC1 is a solid center point with which to bring together your broadcast infrastructure.

- NC1 Studio I/O Module (1 RU) NewTek's NC1 Studio I/O Module is the bridge to your NDI infrastructure. Able to translate up to eight channels of SDI video (two channels in UHD 4K), this NC1 module can be set up anywhere across your network to transmit and receive SD, HD, or UHD video in a studio environment. Eight mini BNC terminals can connect to video sources, audio sources, decks, or monitors, and can each be configured for input or output. Since the module only needs to attach to your network, you can deploy multiple modules in different locations inside your network, instantly integrating that location into your production. Multiview video can also be locally displayed via HDMI or DVI. This unit mounts in a standard 19" equipment rack, so you can add more units for a greater number of inputs and outputs at a given location.
Quick Features - Translate up to eight SDI or IP video sources to NDI, and deliver to the network from any location
- Configurable to accept up to two UHD 4K sources up to 60 fps with quad-link SDI
