PTZOptics Black Magic Integration Videos
At PTZOptics we provide integration videos for NewTek TriCasters. The following videos outline integration with the latest NewTek TriCaster Mini, TriCaster 460 and inter-operability for all professional TriCaster Models. In these videos, lead support technician Andrew Chatfield reviews the compatibility and limitations of the PTZOptics cameras. In general, camera control can be fully integrated into your NewTek workspace for full 1080p video quality. We hope these videos are helpful and you always refer to our Knowledge Base for additional information.

To access more advanced camera settings, click the cog on the right side of your screen. Record video in NDI® studio monitor by clicking the red record button in the bottom left. Our testing shows that Studio Monitor is only capable of recording NDI®|HX feeds directly to the hard-drive. This may change in a future update. This feature allows remote camera operators to record high-quality videos directly to their local hard-drive. These recordings can be used in post-production or for video analysis. For example, a sports coach could easily set up a picture in picture using two cameras. One PTZOptics 30x camera to capture up-close details and a wide angle PTZOptics fixed camera to capture of the entire field. These recordings can then be used for presentations with coaches and athletes. Coaches can even use an NDI® telestrator with a touch screen table to highlight plays just like you see in professional sports.
