Newtek has added a new "mini" model, just above their "40" model, 这改进了几个规格，使其更适用于今天的“预算”市场. 如果你对购买TriCaster 40犹豫不决，那么新款Mini可能正是你想要的. Phillip Nelson of NewTek 来到达拉斯，在极客之家(Geek House)展示新款TriCaster Mini GeekBeat TV.

The Basics

It's a TriCaster. Hopefully, if you're shopping for a video mixer, 你知道NewTek的混音器家族可以做什么:切换, do live graphics, titles, wipes, 内置静态和视频媒体播放(虚拟甲板), 还有特效——尤其是好的绿幕和虚拟布景. 它可以直接从TriCaster传输, record internally, 并在房间内显示输出(图像). tricaster已经做了十多年了.

新款TriCaster Mini在一个小巧的盒子里实现了所有这些功能. 这是件好事，因为它简化了你需要随身携带的装备数量，这也是NewTek Mini营销的一个关键组成部分, which is about half the size of the TC40. 用于AV I/O、计算机连接、音频等的端口数., 意思是它必须足够大，至少能容纳所有的港口, power supply, and GPU hardware to do the heavy lifting.

Mini只有9磅，比40磅轻10磅. 说到提升，我确实注意到NewTek仍然没有在这些“便携式”设备上添加顶部把手. That's one feature still on my wish list. 尼尔森用电缆固定支架把它从背包里提了出来. 但这并不适用于轻轻地移动TriCaster Mini在桌子上，所有的电线连接, 在制作过程中经常会出现这种情况，因为, well, you're now using the bracket on the side 这是为了防止HDMI线被拽出.

乍一看，Mini和TC40的主要区别如下:

The Mini takes HDMI. The TC40 takes analog I/O.
The Mini can control PTZ cameras.
Mini有16个混音通道，而TC40有14个通道.
The Mini also has 5 internal sources vs. 3 on the TC40.
Mini有4个录音通道，TC40只有一个.
The Mini has 15 still & title buffers, the TC40 has none.
迷你有全息直播虚拟集的支持, macros, MIDI, 可单独配置的多视图监视器视点, Avid Artist Mix Audio Control Support, display built into the case, 以及附加的可配置计算机视频输出.

Mini还有更多的虚拟设备，售价30+, but with 24 built into the TriCaster 40, it's not like you were hurting there. 我不知道有谁会用两个以上的.
