I love this Time of the Year! This time of the year is Great to Sharpen my Live Training Skillsets / Mindset to Support my Endeavors & my Customer's Endeavors for the Fall (Back to School Season.)
I use this time of the year to Sharpen My Live Switching, Recording, Streaming, VizRT TriCaster / 3p2 Ten Channel Slow Motion Instant Replay Systems Training Skills.
I just Completed the Thirty Hour Courseware for VizRT 3P2 Ten Channel Slow Motion Instant Replay System from VizRT University at VizRT!

Training is an Investment in yourself!
I have already deployed some New Skills to help further several Customers Success stories of mine.

No matter how much you know, you can always learn more. I learn something new everyday in this Professional Broadcast Media Systems / Services industry.

It was a bonus using the VizRT Integrated NDI® Telestrator Pro technology supporting real-time telestration and transport control from my compatible HP Mobile Workstation / Laptop over the network LAN.
Telestration Professional Software that Comes Free with VizRT 3P2. You can circle, underline, show player movements and analyze player trajectories and write / overlay Pro Graphics using a DSK (Down Stream Keyers) built-in to the VizRT TriCaster / 3P2 3 Play.
I love the fact that my JVC Professional Super Wide Angle PTZ High Resolution NDI 4K/60P Cameras are Supported via NDI 6 HX3.
Allot of my Customers can & will utilize the 4K Pan & Scan feature built-in to 3P2 with Full Keyframe Support which allows Zoom & Tracking of the Football player for instance receiving the punt. Many of the Sports Teams that we help, We will build them a 720 P Session in VizRT TriCaster / 3P2 3Play for Broadcast to ESPN etc. Having Eight million pixels at 4K60p is amazing to work with. You can zoom into the football player's helmet and see his eyes before he zigs and zags to return the punt. Keyframes work with Clips/Play lists
With Macros, Record, store, edit, and automate commands and user-configured operation sequences including support for cross-platform automation between supported systems.
I built a single push button on the VizRT's Flex Dual Control Surface to Trigger the 3P2 3 Play Slow Motion instant replay to Play Back the Clip from the Playlist or Clips List at Fifty Percent play back which is wonderful when I don't have a Slow motion operator, and I have to do both Tasks myself. I am sure many of you are one man bands at some times.

Call me now when you want to up your Training skillsets for VizRT TriCaster / 3P2 3 Play for your Fall endeavors. I have had many customers who have never had any Formal Training. If you are one of them, I have our V.A.C. Training Curriculum to Support your Training Endeavors. There is nothing better than (Training Hands-on) on the Real VizRT TriCaster Flex Dual Systems. I have all of the Resources to Support your Efforts at my Facility. Call me now as my Schedule will be filling up soon. July is almost over as August will be here in a week or so.

Are you a AV Professional / Sound Audio Engineer or a Musician performing in multiple locations such as a House of Worship, Corporate Events Center Stage, Live Events Banquet Facility, Live Sports Stadium Events, Educational Facility, or Performing Arts Center?

If so, I have great news for you!

With NDI 6, you can utilize NDI KVM (Keyboard, Video, & Mouse) along with the New VizRT TriCaster Flex Dual and Flex Standard Control Surfaces.

Our Experience has shown that the VizRT TriCaster 2, TriCaster Vizion, or TriCaster One Professional can be installed in Network Rack closet anywhere in the Building, anywhere on your Corporate, EDU, or HOW Campuses.

Typically we can deploy these TriCaster Systems and Locate the Flex Dual / Flex Standard Control Surfaces up to One Hundred Meters (328 feet) away from the Local Area Network (LAN) Network Switch or wall plate in the Venue because these Control Surfaces have their own power supplies built-in and I can assign an IP Address to each device. NDI gives you Unparalleled Connectivity & Flexibility to operate in these Performing Art Center locations Set-up's.

An added plus is the additional Audio inputs / outputs on the Rear panel assembly of the Flex Dual Control Panels. When you are on stage, you can plug your 32 channel Yamaha Professional Audio Mixer Stereo Analog outputs directly into the Flex Dual / Flex Standard Control Surfaces and Convert the Audio Signal into (Enhanced Audio Capabilities of the NDI 6!) These Enhanced Audio Capabilities and 10 Bit HDR Video were used for the Paris Olympic Games by NBC.

This is Awesome because you don't have to run cables all the way back to the Network Closet where the TriCaster is located let alone have XLR / Quarter Inch Balanced Cables taped to the floor to keep someone from tripping on them.

I just completed an installation at a high school where the Teachers / Instructors & Students can Successfully switch the Live event with the TriCaster One Professional and TriCaster Flex Standard the Basketball game or Graduation Ceremony in the Gym in another building across the street because everything is on the same LAN network! Her students are way ahead of other High Schools and Universities in the area because of the VizRT TriCaster's NDI KVM capabilities!

Call me to have a conversation to Learn more about the TriCaster / Flex Dual Control Surfaces on your IP Work-Flow Needs and I'll schedule it right away.

It is much easier to Color Balance Cameras from the Same Camera Manufacturer!
We Recommend, Specify, Deploy, Train & Support JVC Professional Connected Cam Cameras.

When using Multiple JVC Professional Connected Cam Cameras Like Shoulder mount, Handheld, or JVC Professional Connected Cam PTZ - Pan, Tilt, Zoom Super Wide Angle Cameras has 8 Million Pixels in the Sensor -the Images are Magnificent and because the Sensors are Similar in each form factor.

When in a Football Stadium for Live Sports for instance you will have Multiple lighting Conditions like Shade, Sunlight, Stadium lighting, Overhead lighting etc.

With JVC professional Connected Cam Cameras, you can use the Remote Controller for up to One Hundred JVC Professional Cameras on the LAN network. You can White Balance, Adjust Iris, Brightness, Contrast, Fstop, Red, Blue, pixels on each and set up a preset and it will hold it in the memory for quick recall.
When I compare Multiple cameras from other manufactures on a VizRT TriCaster Live Multi-Camera Switching / Recording / Streaming Systems we can get them close but they will never completely Match up. Every Cameras Mfg's Sensors are going to be different.

I love the fact that JVC Professional Connected Cam Super Wide Angle Cameras have NDI HX 2 & NDI HX3 Built-in. With a click of a mouse I can Select and Control the JVC Cameras with the JVC Remote Control or my Flex Dual Controller Joystick seamlessly.

The Super Wide Angle PTZ Cameras also have Cutting Edge AI Tools like Auto-Tracking / Follow to support every Vertical Market such as Performing Art Centers in Education, House of Worship, Corporate Studios, BroadCast Media TV / Radio environments & Banquet Live Event Facilities.
The Sh**un Studio 2 affords you a VectorScope Waveform Monitor to Calibrate, Compare, and Record JVC Camera Sources.
Call or email me to get your hands on Demonstration!
