It's available two ways — as the Mini X, a compact all-in-one desktop hardware unit, or as the Mini S, a software-only license deployable on your own certified hardware — with 8 total video inputs, 4 output mixes, and up to 2160p60 session resolution on the hardware version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the TriCaster Mini work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the Mini X (or Mini S software) runs a full live production switcher: 4 M\/E buses with re-entry support, 2 DSK channels, and integrated LiveMatte chroma\/luma keying across every input, media player, and M\/E bus, letting an operator build layered graphics packages without a separate keying device. Its Live Link feature renders web pages directly inside a production, pulling graphics, images, or internal training-platform video straight from a browser without needing a third-party capture app. Four built-in media players (2 DDR, 1 GFX, 1 Sound) plus 15 media buffers give an operator ready access to lower-thirds, replay clips, and sound cues, while 30+ built-in LiveSet virtual sets add a studio backdrop without a physical set build. On the input side, the system accepts up to 8 total IP video inputs via NDI in any mix of standard resolutions and frame rates, plus support for up to 8 simultaneous PTZ robotic cameras over serial or IP control — useful for a small crew running multiple remote-controlled cameras without a dedicated camera operator per angle. DataLink brings in real-time automated data — webpages, spreadsheets, scoreboards, RSS feeds, and more — directly into a running production, and native Skype TX support handles up to 2 simultaneous Skype video call inputs with tally and talkback built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features of the TriCaster Mini?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDemocratized Live Production:\u003c\/strong\u003e TriCaster Mini brings professional video production within reach for content creators, streamers, podcasters, corporate communications, and educational institutions;
