Vizrt TriCaster 2 Elite and 4 Stripe Control Panel Kit Promo - TC2E4STKIT

Product Overview

The Vizrt TriCaster 2 Elite and 4-Stripe IP Series Control Panel Kit bundles the flagship TriCaster 2 Elite 3RU production system with the 4-Stripe IP Series hardware control panel, providing a complete broadcast production platform with full tactile operator control. Designed for broadcast studios, major sports production facilities, and large-scale live event environments, this kit delivers 32 simultaneous external inputs at up to 4K UHD 60p with the dedicated control surface required for multi-operator broadcast workflows. The 4-Stripe IP Series panel provides button-per-source switching, T-bar transitions, dedicated M/E bus control, and audio master faders in a professional broadcast desk layout.

Product Description

The TriCaster 2 Elite and 4-Stripe Control Panel Kit (SKU: TC2E4STKIT) combines two production-critical components into a single procurement: the TriCaster 2 Elite 3RU chassis and the 4-Stripe IP Series Control Panel. The TC2 Elite provides 8 x 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs with continuous NDI conversion, up to 32 total simultaneous external inputs at mixed resolutions to 4K UHD 60p, 8 configurable mix outputs, a 60x45 video crosspoint, and 8 independent recorders for immediate replay. Its redundant power supply chassis eliminates single points of failure in mission-critical broadcast transmission environments. The 4-Stripe IP Series Control Panel adds the physical operator interface required for high-input-count productions where software-only control introduces unacceptable risk during live transmission. The panel delivers dedicated rows of illuminated source buttons across four stripes, a T-bar for manual transitions, M/E delegation controls, and master audio faders — the standard layout expected in professional broadcast operations. Together, this kit provides broadcast engineers and production directors with a deployment-ready flagship live production system capable of managing the most complex multi-camera, multi-source broadcast productions. Premium Access features include Live Call Connect for remote contributor integration from Zoom, Teams, and Skype TX; neural voice isolation; alpha channel outputs; Live Story Creator show automation; DataLink data injection; and LiveGraphics for Adobe Creative Cloud animated graphics import.
