Chapter 20 RECORD, GRAB, AND REPLAY
You will often want to capture video clips from external sources, as well as to record
your own live productions. Similarly, it can be quite useful to be able to grab stills from
Program output for use in the current production. This chapter will provide
everything you need to know about this topic.
SECTION 20.1 RECORD
NewTek™ live production systems provide a great
deal of flexibility when it comes to capturing your
program, selected elements of it, and a wide array of
internal and external sources (with embedded
timecode).
NewTek’s I soCorder™ technology delivers powerful
recording capabilities. (The number of sources you
can capture at one time varies by model, software
version, and of course also requires adequate storage
media speed.)
As TriCaster’s primary outputs are configurable, you
can use them to capture Program , Program (Clean), individual Switcher sources, M/E s, and more.

Recording is easily enabled and disabled by clicking the large RECORD button in the Dashboard (Figure 233).
During capture, a nearby time counter tracks the length of clips recorded with the current base filename, and
a horizontal VU meter beneath the button assures you that you are capturing audio.
Note: It is not necessary to interrupt recording to add a clip that is being captured to a DDR playlist or the
Publish
Bin. Clip icons show a red ‘recording’ indicator on clips currently being captured in playlists, the Publish
Bin, and in the Media Browser.
20.1.1 RECORD CONFIGURATION
Of course, before you begin recording, you’ll want to determine what to record, where to record it to, and so
on. To support IsoCorder’s flexible ability to capture almost anything, s ettings and controls for recording
are provided in the individual Input Configuration panels as well as the Output Configuration pane. Click
the Configure button (gear) for the control panel of the source you wish to configure to access these
settings.
