The NewTek high-definition TriCaster 850 is now shipping. The TriCaster 850 is the second hi-def TriCaster model from NewTek and incorporates various improvements over the previous high-definition TriCaster 300 including working with eight versus three external video inputs, two DDRS instead of one, working with two independent iVGA sources, rackmount configuration with all video and audio connectors rear-mounted, redundant power supplies and removable hard drives. As good as the TriCaster 300 is, the TriCaster 850 is even better!
List price on the TriCaster is $24,995.00. You can trade-in an older TriCaster or VT system and receive a generous discount toward a new TriCaster 850. For example, if you purchased a TriCaster 300 after January 15th, 2010 you can trade it in for a new TriCaster 850 for only $9,995.00. Excellent deals are available from other TriCaster models and even your VT[3], VT[4] or VT[5] hardware/software. Your purchase price for a new TriCaster depends on what NewTek product you are trading-in and when you purchased the older product.
