What is Vizrt PTAHRTC1 ProTek Advanced Hardware Replacement?
Vizrt PTAHRTC1 is the ProTek Advanced Hardware Replacement add-on for the TriCaster TC1. Vizrt offers it as an optional extra to ProTek Standard and ProTek Professional support plans. It is aimed at TC1 owners who want to shorten downtime if the unit suffers a hardware failure.
How does Vizrt PTAHRTC1 work?
The add-on is paired with an active ProTek Standard (PTSTC1) or ProTek Professional (PTPTC1) plan for the same TC1. Once Vizrt support confirms a hardware fault, the advanced replacement process is used to restore service. Contact us to confirm the replacement process, shipping terms and coverage term before ordering.
Per the Vizrt distributor terms, ProTek is non-cancelable and non-refundable; coverage begins on purchase unless an alternate start date is requested, and it is invoiced immediately.
Vizrt now lists TriCaster Prizm as the replacement for the TC1. TC1 systems are often paired with the TC1SP Small Control Panel or 4-Stripe Control Panel, which have their own ProTek coverage.
