What is Vizrt PTPTC1PRO ProTek Professional for TriCaster 1 Pro?
Vizrt PTPTC1PRO is a ProTek Professional support plan for the TriCaster 1 Pro 2RU. It is Vizrt's higher support tier, adding 24/7 phone access, priority contact and much faster response targets on top of everything in ProTek Standard. It is intended for organizations where a TriCaster 1 Pro runs live, revenue- or mission-critical productions.
How does Vizrt PTPTC1PRO ProTek Professional work?
With the plan active, your operators can reach Vizrt by 24/7 phone, web form or live chat using the system's Support ID, with priority handling. Vizrt targets a response in under 1 hour for critical issues, under 2 hours for high-priority issues and under 4 hours for normal requests. Software maintenance, remote system support, Viz University, the knowledge base, community forums and Viz Minute videos are included.
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. Advanced Hardware Replacement (PTAHRTC1PRO) can be added as an optional extra. Contact us to confirm the coverage term.
Vizrt now lists TriCaster Prizm as the replacement for the TriCaster 1 Pro 2RU, which makes a Professional plan the most direct way to protect an installed unit. Legacy coverage such as ProTek Ultra for TriCaster 1 Pro remains listed for reference.
