  Corporate Use
  
  Shareholder reports need to be produced in high quality, and TriCaster presents all the tools you'll need: Live switching of several cameras, and seamlessly incorporating graphs, titles and even PowerPoint animations from any network-connected computer.
  
  Product Roll-outs and mock-ups can go through many trials before the final messaging is decided. Let TriCaster's real-time presentation and delivery tools speed the process, with the power of live production amplified by instant Intranet distribution.
  Human Resource departments are tasked with keeping staff informed of the latest policies and regulations. TriCaster can be easily carried to wherever you need to present the latest news on these important matters to managers or staff. Present to any size group via the video and projector outputs, or even on a computer screen.
  
  Ad Campaigns can be rolled into a TriCaster, and then presented in their logical order. Persuade the client on-site with key messages, then move on to PowerPoint presentations, and then take advantage of TriCaster's integrated editor to show preliminary pitches in one compelling session.
  
  Education Use
  
  Morning Newscasts are becoming widely popular with primary schools as they allow students of all ages to learn real-life lessons on deadlines, writing and time management. TriCaster can easily wheel around school on an A/V cart for use after each morning's show.
  
  Dignitary visits to campus can be simply captured for replay in the next morning's newscast, and distributed to parent organizations and the local media.
  
  In-service training is an ongoing demand on every campus, and TriCaster can assist in efficient information transfers, and also allow the archived presentation to be available at a later date on video, CD or as a streaming file on the school intranet.
