What is the Vizrt TCVIZION1RU16IO TriCaster Vizion 1RU?
The Vizrt TCVIZION1RU16IO is a TriCaster Vizion live production system in a 1RU rack-mount chassis with 44 inputs and 16 SDI I/O. It is Vizrt's top-tier TriCaster for broadcast-grade, multi-camera production, combining NDI and 12G-SDI connectivity, switching, graphics, recording and streaming in one unit. Per the Vizrt distributor description, it has redundant power, a rack mounting kit, one year of Standard Support and Viz Flowics Basic for 36 months.
How does the Vizrt TCVIZION1RU16IO work?
TriCaster Vizion accepts 44 simultaneous external inputs in resolutions up to 2160p59.94 from any mix of NDI and SDI sources. Its 16 SDI ports are 12G/3G/HD and can each be configured as an input or output, so the same chassis can feed cameras in and send program, IMAG and record feeds out. It mixes up to 8 independent HD or 2 UHD outputs and offers 56 NDI outputs in HD sessions.
Inside, there are 8 M/Es, 5 media players, 15 media buffers, a 44-channel audio mixer, 3 streaming encoders and 4 TB of SSD storage. Live Call Connect brings in Microsoft Teams, Zoom and other remote guests, and DataLink pulls live data from spreadsheets, scoreboards and feeds. Dante is supported with a separately licensed Dante Virtual Soundcard.
The 1RU chassis runs on redundant 675 W power supplies. If you need fewer SDI ports, compare the Vizion 1RU with 8 SDI I/O and Vizion 1RU with 0 SDI I/O, or the desk-side Vizion Tower with 16 SDI I/O.
