Adds remote graphics editing capability(via network) for VT[5] and TriCaster live productions.

Product Details

LiveText™ 2 remote titling software for the TriCaster family of products, allows you to add a dedicated title station to your live production. LiveText 2 provides increased workflow support with the ability to send HD titles and graphics to any TriCaster portable live production system, including the recently launched TriCaster TCXD850, and TriCaster TCXD300. This product is designed to work in HD resolutions with the new TriCaster XD models, but it is also backwards compatible with the traditional SD product line, including TriCaster PRO, TriCaster STUDIO, TriCaster BROADCAST and VT[5]. DataLink is now included as a standard feature out of the box.

In fast-paced live productions, it helps to share the workload with others - one person switching sources while another focuses on titles. TriCaster, a market leader for its ease of use, makes live production even more enjoyable with LiveText 2.

LiveText 2 runs independently on your laptop or computer communicating directly with the TriCaster and provides scrolls, crawls, title pages and lower thirds to your live production or live web stream. LiveText 2 with integrated DataLink™ allows operators to pre-produce graphics and titles off-site, or on the way to the location, and delivers real-time display of scores, times, prices and other rapidly-changing information, providing instant updates to TriCaster.

While TriCaster excels at one-person production, many producers want to involve as many hands as possible. With the addition of LiveText 2 to your live production, a separate graphics operator can ensure the correct title is ready for display at all times and title updates can be incorporated on the fly. Now, managing last-minute speaker changes is easy, and monitoring real-time data makes updating effortless.
