Vizrt Unveils TriCaster Flex Dual.
The live broadcast of the program “360 Seconds. Broadcast News & Commentary” took place on December 4, 2023.
Hosts: Philip Grossman, host and co-producer at Visionaries; Mary Ann Seidler, owner of First Light Media and consultant for multiCAM Systems and Telos Alliance; and Maria Kholodova.
Maria: Vizrt introduces the TriCaster Flex Dual, a control panel featuring 24 direct cross-points, a full-sized joystick, two dynamic 10-key menu systems, and NDI-native support. This offers enhanced control and flexibility in live production settings, ranging from studio broadcasts to remote operations. Mary, I’m throwing this over to you.
Mary: First, it’s quite interesting to see another entry into the field that caters to both real video professionals and non-professionals, like those working on visual radio programs or corporate projects. Philip, what are your thoughts on how this is expanding the field?
Philip: I’m pleased to see more manufacturers producing video switchers that are both affordable and capable, catering to users looking to upgrade from typical YouTube content to something more professional. The TriCaster Flex Dual, priced under $10,000, offers significant capabilities for a range of users, from prosumer colleges to larger organizations. It’s particularly valuable for applications like visual radio, providing a tool that expands capabilities while aligning with larger professional tools. So, as users transition from a two-strip unit to a larger switcher, the learning curve isn’t steep.
Mary: It’s essential for the equipment to be simple yet professional-looking. It needs to be user-friendly for those not regularly involved in video production, but still produce high-quality, professional-looking content.
Philip: Exactly. The market is benefiting from the variety offered by companies like BlackMagic, Vizrt, and Roland. They’re providing choices that help produce professionally-made content. I’m looking forward to seeing how these developments impact the industry.
