The 8 Ways TriCaster Vizion Maximizes ROI

With continued downward pressure on costs and increased competition across the industry, the importance of ROI when it comes to choosing broadcast equipment has never been more important.

While the latest and greatest features are always going to be a draw, especially when it comes to wowing viewers with high quality content, unfunded innovation is not a practical option for any media company in 2025.

The best kit, however, balances both. It couples leading-edge innovation with a whole range of factors that mean the ROI is palpable from the outset. It is not a purchase where a broadcaster must hedge their bets on whether they will see a return that balances the outlay in the future: it delivers savings and efficiencies from day one.

The TriCaster Vizion does exactly that. TriCaster Vizion is the latest iteration of our renowned switching and live production tool, which has been trusted by broadcasters, sports networks, and live event producers for decades.

This advanced solution incorporates revolutionary SDI I/O connectivity, IP connectivity,  robust switching capabilities, audio mixing functionality, and state-of-the-art graphics. It is both designed to meet the demands of the future while simultaneously delivering tangible cost savings in the present.

8 Key Factors Supporting ROI

These are the 8 key factors that help maximize ROI of TriCaster Vizion.

Versatility and scalability:

TriCaster Vizion features a massive 44 live inputs, up to 16 configurable SDI inputs/outputs, 4 media players, and 8 MEs. That allows it to scale up to handle the largest and most sophisticated multi-camera productions, making it suitable for a wide range of production needs.

3

Improved workflow efficiency

TriCaster Vizion’s centralized I/O configuration streamlines setup and operation via an all-new set-up tab which provides a centralized location for input, output, SDI, programmable outputs and HDR color settings configuration. This saves time and further reduces production complexity, while simplified IP connectivity with NDI unlocks plug and play efficiencies.

4

Enhanced production quality

Native 10-bit support helps broadcasters bring stories to life in vibrant color. The TriCaster Vizion is able to send and receive content with HDR sessions in PQ and HLG profiles through NDI High Bandwidth and NDI HX via the HEVC codec, while new look-up tables (LUTs) allow for color conformance inside a session. These enhancements combine to offer unparalleled contrast, unlimited color combinations, and impressive compatibility across HDR devices.

5

AI-powered tools

Innovative tools such as AI Gaze Correction and Advanced Keying enhances production quality, helping broadcasters to do more with less while ensuring that content remains of the highest caliber in a competitive market.

6

Customizability

TriCaster Vizion is tailored to specific needs from the outset, so users can create the switcher that best fits their production requirements. It comes with a choice of two hardware options, and a completely configurable system of up to 16 SDI I/O. This flexibility allows it to meet a range of specific requirements and budgets with no waste or over-supply.

7

Flexible licensing options

One of the key ways of ensuring that ROI is maximized is by making sure the initial investment is closely aligned with business goals. With TriCaster Vizion, organizations can choose between perpetual or subscription-based licensing, ensuring that the purchase always fits in with their financial strategy.

Comprehensive support

Downtime is dead money. TriCaster Vizion comes with a three-year hardware warranty and a range of 24/7 support tiers to help minimize downtime and ensure smooth operations. Meanwhile, subscription and support contracts include software updates, ensuring access to new features and improvements over time.

“We pride ourselves on innovative storytelling, and Viz Arena has allowed us to deliver augmented visuals live in-play, oftentimes showing dynamic content immediately after it happens. Our early work with Fox Footy over a decade ago quickly became the gold standard in data-driven storytelling. It was quite innovative for us back then, and from that point, it became the driver in all Australian broadcasters.” Jerome Guzzo, Champion Data

Don’t forget to include:
  • 1. Document Overview list view is handy to have open so you can see labeled areas indicating where some edits can be made
  • 2. Slug is the URL. Once you save a draft with a page title, it defaults to that unless you edit it. Editing the slug URL to be more concise is a benefit at times.
  • 3. Meta Description is an SEO-friendly description.
  • 4. Keyphrase Synonyms is where the bulk of your keywords will go. Separate each keyword or phrase with a comma. These are all supporting keywords to the Main Keyphrase (see item #7).
  • 5. Featured image: This is part of the meta-data and auto-populates any query card image on hub pages. Page Titles and Subheadings are also elements needed to populate query cards and metadata.
  • 6. Excerpt This auto-populates on query card text. If left empty, it will default to the first bit of text on the page. This can be the same as the Meta description.
  • 7. Focus Keyphrase is the main Keyword. The inputs for this and the supporting keywords are in slightly separate areas, making it a little confusing.
