Vizrt TCM4KUHD TriCaster TC Mini 4K - includes two Spark Plus 4K IO Converters - BDL-000000004

Product Overview

The Vizrt TriCaster TC Mini 4K is a compact, desktop live production system capable of producing full UHD 4K output for broadcast, streaming, and corporate AV deployments. This bundle (SKU: BDL-000000004) includes the TC Mini 4K chassis plus two Spark Plus 4K I/O converters, providing a complete, ready-to-deploy 4K production system out of the box. Built for broadcast engineers and AV system integrators who need 4K capability in a portable form factor, the TC Mini 4K accepts HDMI and NDI sources and outputs NDI for full IP video workflow integration. The included Spark Plus converters bridge SDI and HDMI sources directly into the NDI ecosystem without additional equipment.

Product Description

The TriCaster TC Mini 4K bundle delivers a self-contained 4K live production environment designed for organizations moving to IP-based broadcast workflows. The TC Mini 4K chassis accepts HDMI inputs and connects to NDI sources over standard Gigabit Ethernet, making it compatible with an extensive range of professional cameras, PTZ units, and software encoders. The two included Spark Plus 4K I/O converters add bidirectional HDMI-to-NDI and SDI conversion, significantly expanding the system's connectivity without requiring a separate converter chassis. Onboard software handles live switching, virtual sets, chroma keying, multi-channel audio mixing, streaming, and recording within a single integrated interface. Live Story Creator automates show execution from a Microsoft Word script, and DataLink enables real-time data injection into on-screen graphics. With support for up to three multiview monitoring outputs and direct NDI output from all mix buses, the TC Mini 4K integrates naturally into distributed production environments, remote production setups, and permanent installation studios where 4K UHD delivery is required.
