What is Vizrt PTAHRTC1PRO ProTek Advanced Hardware Replacement?
Vizrt PTAHRTC1PRO is the ProTek Advanced Hardware Replacement add-on for the TriCaster 1 Pro 2RU. Vizrt offers Advanced Hardware Replacement as an optional extra to its ProTek Standard and ProTek Professional support plans. It is aimed at owners who need to minimize the time a failed TriCaster 1 Pro is out of service.
How does Vizrt PTAHRTC1PRO work?
The add-on sits on top of an active ProTek Standard (PTSTC1PRO) or ProTek Professional (PTPTC1PRO) plan for the same unit. When a hardware fault is confirmed through Vizrt support, the advanced replacement process is used to get the system back in service. Contact us to confirm the replacement process, shipping terms and coverage term for your unit 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 TriCaster 1 Pro 2RU, so hardware coverage is worth considering for installed units. Owners running the TriCaster TC1 Pro and Flex Dual Control Panel package can pair it with Flex ProTek coverage.
