Vizrt TriCaster Vizion Tower 44 NDI + 8 SDI I/O Hardware - Vizion Subscription Required
The TriCaster Vizion Tower with 44 NDI inputs and 8 SDI I/O is Vizrt's flagship live production engine, delivering unparalleled flexibility in a robust, rack-mountable tower chassis. With 44 simultaneous NDI® sources over a single Ethernet network and eight configurable 12G/3G/HD-SDI ports, the system bridges modern IP workflows with legacy broadcast infrastructure—ideal for studios, OB vans, and event venues seeking both high-density connectivity and future-proof scalability.
Built on a modular hardware foundation, Vizion Tower lets you select the precise CPU, GPU, storage, and licensing package to meet your creative and budgetary demands. The eight-port SDI I/O card supports SMPTE ST 2082/424/425/292 signals, embedded audio, and bi-level or tri-level Genlock reference. Expansion slots ensure you can add additional SDI or IP interface cards without interrupting live operations, keeping your system current as technology evolves.
The core Vizion switcher features up to eight Mix Effects (M/Es) rows and four independent media players, each equipped with ultra-low-latency LiveMatte chroma keying for clean green-screen composites. LiveSet virtual studio extensions render photorealistic 3D environments in real time, while LiveLink technology brings HTML5 web elements—dashboards, social feeds, control panels—directly into your program without external converters.
Enhanced by the Viz Flowics cloud-native graphics engine (included with your TriCaster Vizion subscription), Vizion Tower grants access to a 5 GB library of customizable templates, animated overlays, and no-code DataLink connectors for live statistics, social media integration, and real-time data visualization. Seamlessly drag and drop dynamic graphics into any M/E, empowering storytellers to elevate production value with data-driven insights.
Remote contribution is simplified with AI-powered Live Call Connect over NDI. Invite guests via secure web links and mix their video and audio feeds alongside studio cameras—no additional hardware required. This IP-native approach to remote interviews and virtual panels ensures latency-minimized interactions essential for live broadcasts and corporate webcasts.
Audio is fully integrated as a first-class NDI stream. The built-in software mixer handles NDI, Dante™, AES67, analog, and USB audio sources with full DSP—including EQ, compression, and multichannel bus routing. Talk Back functionality provides clear communication between talent, camera operators, and technical staff, streamlining collaboration in high-pressure live environments.
Operator confidence is guaranteed by three customizable multiviewer layouts, which display all NDI sources, SDI inputs, program feeds, graphics, and audio meters on a single or multiple displays. On-screen tally, dynamic labels, safe-area guides, and built-in scopes (waveform, parade, vectorscope) keep every operator fully informed and aligned with the live feed.
Social media and streaming integration are native to Vizion Tower. Directly stream and post to YouTube Live, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Vimeo, and more without third-party software. Schedule posts, embed hashtags, and manage on-demand clips from within the Vizion interface. Built-in video players automate clip playback, highlight reels, and countdown timers to keep audiences engaged.
Control remains flexible: the software’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface offers instant access to all M/Es, transitions, keyers, media players, mixer, and macros. For users who prefer tactile workflows, optional Vizrt hardware control panels (4-Stripe, Flex Dual, and Flex) provide motorized faders, illuminated buttons, and joystick-driven DVE controls that map directly to the software engine—ensuring rapid, precise operation under live conditions.
With flexible subscription licensing, comprehensive support plans (Professional 24/7 phone support is included with your TriCaster Vizion Subscription), and Viz Flowics (also included with subscription), the TriCaster Vizion Tower with 8 SDI I/O Hardware is a turnkey solution for next-generation live production.
