Rounding out the IBC lineup is LiveTally Converter, a small interface to plug into the Tally connector of TriCaster to provide close contacts instead of 5v power, to be used with cameras with built-in tally light and CCU; LiveControl Box, an interface for TriCaster for sending and receiving GPI (General Purpose Interface) to and from any kind of devices supporting GPI; and FingerWorks 5 for TriCaster Telestrator, a telestration tool for realtime news and sports programmes, designed to allow the user to draw a freehand sketch over a video image while journalists and commentators are analysing it in live.
