Overview

Remote titling software for the TriCaster family of products allows you to add a dedicated title station to your live production. LiveText 2 provides increased workflow support with the ability to send HD titles and graphics to any Tricaster portable live production system - including Tricaster XD850 and XD300.

In fast-paced live productions, it helps to share the workload with others - one person switching sources while another focuses on titles. TriCaster, a market leader for its ease of use, makes live production even more enjoyable with LiveText 2.

While TriCaster excels at one-person production, many producers want to involve as many hands as possible. With LiveText 2, during live production a separate graphics operator can ensure the correct title is ready for display at all times and title updates can be incorporated on the fly. Further, LiveText allows you to streamline pre-production by creating titles and graphics on your laptop off-site or on the way to the location.

LiveText 2 is integrated with and includes NewTek DataLink software - a plug-in that allows dynamic updates to production titles from external text feeds. Title templates can access data across a network and in real-time display scores, times, prices or any other rapidly-changing information on screen.
