Vizrt TriCaster TC1 Pro & Flex Dual Control Panel

Product Overview

The Vizrt TriCaster TC1 Pro & Flex Dual Control Panel bundle pairs the TriCaster TC1 Pro 4K live production system with the Flex Dual Control Panel, providing a complete broadcast production platform with physical tactile control at a price point below the TriCaster Vizion platform. This TriCaster TC1 Pro bundle is designed for broadcast engineers, live production directors, and system integrators who need professional-grade 4K SDI/NDI production with a hardware control surface, particularly in broadcast studios, houses of worship, and university media programs where the TC1 Pro's feature set aligns with production requirements and budget constraints.

Product Description

The TriCaster TC1 Pro is a 2RU rackmount live production system built on the same proven TriCaster platform architecture, delivering 16 simultaneous external video inputs at resolutions up to 4K UHD 60fps, four SDI inputs and outputs, and deep NDI integration with a 10GbE network interface. Four M/E banks, four media players, advanced chroma key, virtual set compositing with 30+ included environments, comprehensive audio mixing (Dante/AES67 native), and multi-platform streaming to multiple destinations simultaneously position the TC1 Pro as a full-featured broadcast platform. The Flex Dual Control Panel adds 24 direct cross-point buttons, dual T-bars, full-sized joystick, two 10-key dynamic menu systems, and LCD-labeled source buttons — connecting to the TC1 Pro over NDI via Ethernet for flexible operator positioning. This bundle provides meaningful savings compared to purchasing the TC1 Pro and Flex Dual separately, making it the practical choice for facilities seeking proven TriCaster production capability with a hardware control surface at a lower entry cost than the Vizion platform. SDI signal support covers 4K UHD, 1080p, 1080i, and 720p at all standard broadcast frame rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the TC1 Pro compare to the TriCaster Vizion?

The TriCaster Vizion is Vizrt's current flagship platform with 44 NDI inputs, 8 M/Es, 4K60 production, and AI features. The TC1 Pro is an established 4K system with 16 inputs, 4 M/Es, and native Dante/AES67. The TC1 Pro is well-suited for installations with established SDI infrastructure where 4 M/Es are sufficient; the Vizion offers significantly expanded IP capacity, M/E count, and AI tooling.

Does the TC1 Pro support native Dante without additional licensing?

Yes. Unlike the TriCaster Vizion (where Dante requires an optional license), the TC1 Pro includes native Dante and AES67 audio integration as standard.

Is the Flex Dual compatible with both TC1 Pro and Vizion?

Yes. The Flex Dual Control Panel is compatible with TriCaster TC1, TC1 Pro, Vizion, Vectar, and TriCaster 2 Elite. It is an NDI-native device that works across the TriCaster product family.

Can this bundle be upgraded to the Vizion platform later?

The Flex Dual Control Panel is transferable to a future TriCaster Vizion system. The TC1 Pro itself is not field-upgradeable to the Vizion platform — that would require a separate system purchase. Contact Creation Networks to discuss upgrade paths.
