Description — NewTek TriCaster 2 Elite
The NewTek TriCaster 2 Elite Live Production System is housed in a 3RU rackmount metal chassis, purpose-built for integration into professional rack-based production environments. Its video capabilities span a maximum resolution of 4K UHD (2160p) with a broad selection of frame rates: 23.976fps, 24fps, 25fps, 29.97fps, 30fps, 48fps, 50fps, 59.94fps, and 60fps, with a maximum frame rate of 60fps. This frame rate range covers cinematic standards, traditional broadcast rates for both PAL and NTSC markets, and high-frame-rate formats suited to live sports and event production.
The metal construction of the rackmount body is consistent with professional broadcast hardware designed for repeated use in demanding environments. Whether being deployed in a fixed broadcast studio or integrated into a mobile production setup, the 3RU footprint is a familiar and practical form factor for production teams working with standard rack enclosures.
