TriCaster Vectar And TriCaster Now Now Available In AWS Marketplace

Vizrt has announced that two of its cloud-ready video production switchers – TriCaster Vectar and TriCaster Now – are now available in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace.

AWS Marketplace is a curated digital catalog for software that runs on AWS. The availability of TriCaster video production tools in AWS Marketplace streamlines the testing, purchase, and management of these Vizrt products within customers’ AWS Marketplace accounts.

"AWS Marketplace provides a centralized portal for access, testing, and billing of cloud-based TriCaster video production tools, making it easier than ever for content creators to take their first step in achieving truly remote live productions. AWS customers can leverage their committed cloud spend and enjoy the reduced travel and transport costs and carbon emissions that cloud live productions provide," remarked Davide Cortassa, Product Manager for Cloud Live Production, Vizrt.

With two TriCaster systems accessible in AWS Marketplace, content creators now have even more choice in how they access, test, and buy the cloud-hosted video production system that suits their needs.

TriCaster Vectar (previously Viz Vectar Plus) is the leading video production system of choice for larger news and sports productions, supporting up to 44 external sources. It can be deployed in customer’s AWS accounts for free as a fully functional watermarked version for testing, with customers responsible for managing AWS costs.

TriCaster Now supports up to 8 inputs and caters for smaller seasonal or entry level productions and corporate town halls. It provides a fully managed SaaS service with a simple usage-based credits pricing model.

With cloud becoming such an integral part of the modern technology stack, making TriCaster available directly in AWS Marketplace was an obvious move and helps content creators reach and engage new audiences and monetize more content faster than ever before”, adds Cortassa.

To support this launch into AWS Marketplace, Vizrt has qualified as a certified AWS Media & Entertainment Competency partner, a program that validates and promotes AWS Partners who have demonstrated technical expertise and customer success in specific areas.

This builds upon last year's AWS ISV Accelerate accreditation which ensures customers that Vizrt’s live production and media asset management (MAM) solutions meet the strict standards and best practices of AWS.
