评测:NewTek TriCaster 40
用TriCaster 40, NewTek最新的紧凑型视频切换器和现场制作盒, NewTek goes retro and down-market but still delivers a capable solution at a price $20k (or more) below other models in the TriCaster line. 这本身就应该是令人欣喜的.
Let's start this review by stating clearly what the TriCaster 40 (TC 40) from NewTek is not: It is not a high-end, 全数字, 机架式视频制作切换器. 这应该是值得高兴的.
对于那些渴望契约的人, 现场高清点播机, the TC 40 comes as a pleasant surprise--as long as you're not looking to hook up any Serial Digital Interface (SDI) or HD-SDI cameras to the unit.
Readers will remember our reviews of the TriCaster 8xx and 4xx series of extreme video production units (see related articles links below), but it's interesting to note that just a few weeks ago the TC 40 won a 流媒体读者选择奖. We think this is due to the fact that the TC 40 is much more akin to the compact TriCasters of yesteryear, and carries a price point that is as retro as the unit's external housing.
不管怎样，TC 40已经引起了用户的共鸣. 让我们来看几个原因. 在我们的评测中，我们着眼于外形因素, 输入功能, output-including streaming-capability, 用户界面.
形成的因素
To say that the TC 40 is the smallest HD-capable TriCaster would be an understatement. At 17.5英寸长，10.4英寸高，8英寸高.5 inches wide, the form factor of the TC 40 is almost identical to that of the TriCaster Studio.
最近对TC 40的评测测试了外形因素的问题, and noted that the fact that the TC 40 is similar in size to the TriCaster Studio and Broadcaster means "it should fit inside the same road cases used by those earlier TriCaster models."
事实上, with the exception of the fact that the TC 40 has fewer BNC connectors on its faceplate, 人们可能会把它误认为是老式的SD-only模型. 然而在幕后, there's a whole new beast waiting to rip through almost any analog video source you throw at it.
