When will we be able to run TriCaster Mini S software in the cloud or virtualized environments?

Mini S in the cloud is not yet on the confirmed roadmap but is being advocated for internally; the business case and product management prioritization remain unclear, though the technical capability may be feasible.

51:57and just one question related to that, if it supports Companion, does, you mentioned the macros that you program in the TriCaster Mini. many. Can the Stream Deck then call up the macros from the TriCaster? Yeah. So when you have that set up, so inside the profile, you're going to call out that macro. So once the Stream Deck connects to that specific TriCaster, then it'll connect
52:19up and then send that out. Very nice. Even better. All right. Next question. My son just happened to come in and grab something as I'm trying to give him the eyes of like hey i'm on a call i'm live hey never fails thanks one comes in once again from uh jeff keithley from uh texas of course uh when will we be able to run tricaster mini s software
52:46in the cloud or virtualized environments just asking for a friend And please, brother, keep asking. I'm hopeful. I'm advocating for you internal. I want to see that as well. I just know that our product management team has to roadmap things a certain way and make that business case. And I'm still crossing my fingers that we can get that done. Because I definitely think we've done the many S on certified hardware to get it virtualized.
53:19I know it's a different type of lift. But, yeah, keep sending the emails. I'll keep replying back, and I'll keep CCing other people to those. Thank you, Jeremy. It's a cost thing, right? Because I thought there was a – We just don't need all of the power of a full vision for some applications. I have one specific application that I want to deploy this on.
53:41I need 50 systems, and I don't need vision. I need just four inputs to each one of those systems. So it's just a matter of the capabilities are overwhelming or just not needed. So it doesn't fit the market. Yeah. And so was there a TriCaster cloud solution? Briefly, yes. There was TC Now. So TC Now was what I called the TRY caster,
54:13like the try and buy, cause you're able to then get your feet wet and run a TriCaster in the cloud. That was running, yeah, the mini version on that. But that was just, it wasn't sustainable because we were running out on our own AWS instance. And so it was kind of, it turned cost prohibitive when we were trying to spin up all these instances
54:34on our own and we weren't getting the adoption. And so it was just easy enough just to sunset that. And I'm hopeful that another iteration of that can come back online. Matt Raad- Yeah. Okay. Okay. That makes sense. I was, I thought that I thought there was two versions of it because it's obviously a pricing thing as well, right? It's a, is
54:55that there's a, a, a, a, a quite a large cost to the significant cost to the vision. And as we're saying about, um, you know, some of the shows we'd love to be able to use it, um, on some of these smaller shows. Um, and that reminds me too about the, the zoom integration is one of the things that we're using tonight, right?
