NewTek TriCaster: A TV Studio in a Box

"For years any fool with a guitar and a PC has been able to make a CD, and now that same fool can pick up a cheap video camera and produce an award-winning documentary for just a few thousand bucks. Until now, though, live TV production has remained the domain of professional studios. No more. The new TriCaster from NewTek puts an entire live television control room into a customized PC for just $5,000. Add in the overpriced optional switching keyboard and a decent monitor, and the full package costs under $6,500—replacing hardware that can cost ten times as much. The TriCaster itself is built into a customized Shuttle small-form-factor PC, which makes it portable as well as powerful. The TriCaster includes NewTek's VT4 video production card and a 250 gigabyte hard drive."



No one has been able to channel the power of the PC to multi-input, live-switched video events at less than $10,000 so far. This looks like a really good solution for about half that cost. And from this Extremetech review, it looks like a very stable, powerful and portable solution.
