Yamanashi CATV used six HD cameras and TriCaster TCXD 850 as a switcher to record a live concert on August 31, 2011.
Yamanashi CATV started using TriCaster in January of this year. They use the system for things like broadcasting live city council events and shooting on location.
Takehito Kitta, Yamanashi CATV productions section chief, explained the network's reasons for picking up TriCaster: "As a switcher, it allows us to use up to eight camera inputs and lets us create titles in real-time, not to mention the good cost-performance ratio. Combining the functions of a switcher and title generator in one unit is also efficient and space-saving when shooting on location. The system fits in a 4U case, so we use it as our onboard setup when on location."
