A custom built TriCaster Virtual Studio Set running on a TriCaster 8000.
Custom TriCaster studio set for Mustard TV
I have recently completed a set of Virtual Studios for Mustard TV – one of the new local TV channels in the UK. Based in Norwich and broadcasting to the local Norfolk TV region, Mustard was awarded a local TV licence in September 2012, and started broadcasting on Freeview, channel 8 on March 24th 2014. Mustard TV Ltd is the broadcasting division of Archant (of which Jeremiah Colman, of Colman’s Mustard fame, was one of the original founders).
I built 3 bespoke virtual sets in all, and this is the first of them which they are using for their News programme. The studio was built in Cinema 4D Studio and as supplied as a ‘TriCaster-ready’ layered Photoshop file which they imported into TriCaster VSE and is now running daily on their TriCaster 8000.
They were a nice bunch of people to work with and I wish them all the best of luck with the channel. I’m also very grateful to Chris from NewTek for taking the time to guide me through the TriCaster side of things .
