By Jim Bask
NewTek Developer Network participant Teradek provides a free Stream Reader plugin for TriCaster which allows integration with their encoder units, including Teradek Cube. With this free plugin, TriCasters operating with Standard Edition or Advanced Edition 3-2 and earlier can receive video streams from Teradek encoders for live production.

Note that for TriCaster Advanced Edition 4-0 (with IP workflow) and later systems, the TriCaster inputs support only NewTek NDI protocol for IP workflow, so there is no need to use the protocols described in the video.
