Vizrt TCTCMiniCSDD Control Surface for TriCaster Mini with UHD 4K Support - FG-002778-R004

Product Overview

The Vizrt TCTCMiniCSDD Control Surface (FG-002778-R004) is a compact hardware switching panel designed for the TriCaster Mini series with UHD 4K support. Featuring 14 backlit source buttons, dual T-bars, and USB connectivity, it brings manual tactile control to TriCaster Mini-based live production setups without requiring a full-size production desk. The panel is compatible with a wide range of TriCaster models — from the Mini 4K and Mini X to older TC1 and TriCaster 410 systems — making it a versatile option for broadcast installations that have mixed TriCaster hardware.

Product Description

The TriCaster Mini Control Surface is built for operators who want the precision and speed of physical switching controls with the portability of a compact panel. Its 14 backlit buttons provide direct source selection on program and preview buses, while two multi-mode T-bars offer independent transition control for complex live switching scenarios. The panel connects via USB — bus-powered, no external supply needed — which keeps cable management simple in mobile, event, and fixed-installation environments alike. UHD 4K support means it works natively with the TriCaster Mini 4K system without any resolution downgrading or workflow compromises. The small footprint is particularly valuable for houses of worship, corporate AV suites, and university media departments where the production desk doubles as shared workspace. Compatible models include TriCaster Mini 4K, Mini Go, Mini X, Mini SDI, Mini HDMI, TC410 Plus, TC1, 1 Pro, Now Basic, and legacy TriCaster 8000, 860, 460, and 410 with Advanced Edition 3.
