Vizrt TCMG TriCaster Mini Go - FG-003288-R001

Product Overview

The Vizrt TriCaster Mini Go is an entry-level integrated live production system designed for creators, small production teams, and organizations deploying their first NDI-native broadcast workflow. Accepting up to four external USB-based video sources and four NDI IP sources simultaneously, the Mini Go supports live switching, streaming, recording, graphics, and audio mixing up to 1080p60 in a compact desktop form factor. Its USB-C and USB-A 3.2 inputs accept a wide range of consumer and prosumer cameras and capture devices directly, while dual 2.5 GbE network connections handle NDI I/O and high-throughput streaming output. The Mini Go is designed for straightforward setup with professional production capabilities accessible without extensive AV engineering overhead.

Product Description

The TriCaster Mini Go (SKU: FG-003288-R001) provides a complete live production environment at an accessible price point, targeted at video game streamers, small businesses, corporate communications teams, and house of worship organizations deploying live streaming for the first time. Four external video sources connect via USB-A and USB-C 3.2 inputs, supporting cameras, capture cards, and USB video devices directly without additional conversion hardware. An additional four NDI IP sources expand the total input count to eight simultaneous sources over the dual 2.5 GbE network connections. Output resolution tops out at 1080p60, with dual streaming channels for simultaneous multi-platform broadcast delivery. Eleven USB ports across the chassis handle video input, external storage, Dante audio networking (with optional adapter), serial camera control (with optional adapter), and peripheral connectivity. The integrated software mixer provides 2x2x2 stereo audio with two independent audio mixes, professional DSP processing, VU metering, talkback communication, and support for analog, digital, and USB audio devices. NDI and AES67 audio networking are supported natively; Dante requires an optional license. Live Link renders web pages directly as production sources for training platforms, data-driven graphics, and HTML overlays. PTZ camera control for up to four simultaneous PTZ cameras is built-in via serial and IP protocols. The Mini Go supports NAS storage for extended recording, and three customizable multiviewer layouts provide operator monitoring during live productions. Virtual sets, chroma keying, DataLink data injection, and macro automation round out the feature set for small-team live production environments.
