TriCaster Mini S and vMix Pro. . . a comparison . . . and where the TriCaster Mini S shines over vMix.
- NDI performance - proxy/full res workflow allows more video channels, uses less CPU & network bandwidth. It makes a huge difference when working with 4K/UHD sessions or remote productions.
- Traditional workflow operation - many functions and workflow concepts on TriCaster can be connected to many other video switchers making it easier for users to get up to speed.
- Streamlined user interface - TriCaster UI is highly polished, with windows & controls that are easy to access and not buried into panels that often cover most of the user interface.
- More transitions - TriCaster allows for access to more traditional transitions, but more importantly, custom built transitions, which are used for program/company/team branding.
- Media Player capabilities - clip editing, autoplay function, switch between single or playlist modes, transitions between clips.
- Real-time DSK previews - TriCaster shows you DSK adjustments in real-time on preview. On vMix you need to open the Overlay panel, adjust then close to see the results.
- Highly-integrated hardware control surface options - the Flex panels offer functions not found in any vMix control panel (LCD display, audio 1/0, RGB buttons, etc.)
- TriCaster macro system - offers improved functionality (multiple steps with timing) than vMix shortcuts.
- LivePanel on TriCaster improved interface and more capabilities for operator assistance (audio mixer, media control, Builder, Datalink entry).
- Virtual Sets - parallax & lighting effects, 16 camera positions, more sets included.
- LiveStory Creator - teleprompter tool with automation.
- Skype TX - connect remote participants via Skype.
- COMPS - animate video layers of an M/E or DSK.
- Export tool - transcode clips to multiple destinations.
