hands on the show
A panel for the operator, a browser for the crew.
Every TriCaster runs fully from its own interface. A control surface buys speed and muscle memory, which matters when the show is live or run by a rotating crew. Vizrt currently makes three TriCaster panels.
TriCaster Flex Dual
$14,495
24 crosspoints, two M/E banks, onboard audio control, connects over the network by NDI
Vizion, Vizion (Cloud) and Prizm
TriCaster Flex
$8,995
16 crosspoints, one M/E row, connects over the network by NDI
Every current TriCaster
TriCaster Mini Control Panel
$2,595
14 crosspoints, no displays, connects by USB
Mini X and Mini S
Flex Dual and Flex sit anywhere on the network, so the surface can be in the room the show is in while the switcher is racked elsewhere.
Included on Prizm and Vizion
Live Call Connect: remote guests, straight into the switcher.
Zoom runs on the TriCaster itself, so there is no separate call computer to build. Join or host the meeting from the TriCaster, admit each guest, and every caller appears by name as a source you assign to a switcher input. Guests see the Program mix, or any output you choose, and hear a mix-minus return built from the master and aux buses. Microsoft Teams guests and web browser sources come in as sources too, and Vizrt added Zoom webinar support in its 2026 software. We can set it up and train your operators on it when we install your system.
Included capability
LivePanel Pro, included with Prizm and Vizion.
A browser-based control layer. Each operator gets a layout built for the tasks they own, cameras, graphics, audio or streaming, on any screen on the network, with a widget designer, video previews and role-based access. It is a capability of the system, not a separate purchase, and it ships with new Prizm and Vizion systems.
Optional subscription
TriCaster Vizion AI/R, orderable now.
An annual subscription add-on for TriCaster Vizion only: a real-time AI keyer that does not depend on an evenly lit green screen, and augmented-reality graphics inside the switcher. It is not offered for Prizm or Mini. It is $9,995 per year, and we can quote and order it now; ask us for the current delivery date.
