TCP-VT 2.1 : Plugin
Minimum Requirements
Software: VT (4/5) or TriCaster (Standard/Pro/ProFX/Studio/Broadcast)
OS: Windows
Hardware: Ethernet interface
Description
GUI
TCP-VT provides real-time TCP (intranet/internet) control of the VT and TriCaster. This opens up exciting possibilities for remote and simultaneous multiple system control, and is ideal for developers wanting to create custom control systems.

The included TCP-VT_Shell client application can be used to control modules in real-time. It's now possible to remote start a live or pre-recorded broadcast, or perform hundreds of other operations, from a local network or anywhere in the world.

The TCP activity/error LEDs make it easy to monitor connections, incoming messages, as well as errors.

Note that TCP-VT does NOT make use of unreliable keyboard shortcut simulation to control modules. It directly controls the modules to ensure reliability.

An External Control Link allows communication with outside applications (see list below) to access additional features provided by the linked application.

Technical consultation is available for developers wanting to implement complex single or multiple system control applications for use with the server plugin.
