Description

Allows users to send selected text and image data from webpages to NewTek TriCaster.

DataLink™ Web allows you to easily populate both text and image DataLink keys from webpages. DataLink values are immediately available for use in TriCaster title pages, and elsewhere in TriCaster.

Simply select some text, or an image, and use the right-click context menu (or a hotkey) to update a DataLink key you have defined. Any title page using that key will immediately update.

Setup is easy, and permits you to select which TriCaster to communicate with, supply custom key names, and decide whether keys will hold image or text values.

It just works. It's a time and money saver. It would be awesome if there was a similar functionality for OBS.

This can quickly send Datalink data to a TC Adv Ed device. It cannot be pointed at a standalone version of LiveText used to feed graphics into your TC AE. This means a graphic must be generated ON the TC to use the DL data being sent to it. My use case is to have several templates for Twitter content created in LiveText on a stand alone machine. The graphics operator chooses the template that fits the content best, and pushes that to the Tricaster operator. That cannot be done. We must use an M/E to build a background out of the LT background and a second GFX channel for the LT data to overlay on top of it. On a 460AE that isn't a huge problem, but on a Mini with AE you have limited DSKs to use. Can this extension be updated to point directly at a standalone PC running LT and push webkeys to it? I would give this 5 stars.

This is a great Chrome extension that does exactly what it says it does. It lets you get content into your TriCaster fast. Colin Sandy Sandy Audio Visual LLC NewTek Systems Integrator
