3.7.1 A/V OUTPUT
Your NewTek system provides multiple video and audio output connector groups, and very flexible display
options. Here are some of the possibilities:
• TriCaster’s of various types can o utput a huge number of different sources – including as many as four
different mixed compositions, up to twenty nine more NDI outputs (VMC 1), multiple internal recorders,
three local monitors, and Internet streaming.
• All hardware inputs and all outputs are always presented to your local network as NDI sources, ready for
varied utilization at any convenient place where your network extends.
• Send program output, secondary mixes, or c ustom ‘monitor bridge’ layouts to as many as three
supplemental monitors (varies by model).
• Stream program output to one or more Content Delivery Networks (varies by model) via a suitable
network connection.
Each of the primary outputs (termed MIX 1-(2 or 4 , by model ) can be configured independently (video format
settings for these outputs are provided in the Live Desktop’s Output Configuration panel.
1. Connect downstream video production devices to the connectors in the SDI (or HDMI) OUT section as
desired.
2. NDI and Streaming outputs obviously require a network connection, and in the latter case, an Internet
connection.
3. Connect audio outputs.
a. Analog audio – Connect external audio devices to the connectors in the AUDIO OUT section.
The backplane for rack-mount models offers two pairs of analog audio output connectors:
Note: TC Mini supplies analog audio output on two ¼” ( 6.35 mm) audio jacks on its faceplate.
i. OUT 1 XLR connectors provide (balanced, line level) sound from the Master mix.
ii. OUT 2 connectors provide sound from the mix assigned to the AUX 1 audio bus.
b. Digital audio – A separate digital audio connection is not necessary for SDI or NDI output.

SUPPLEMENTAL VIDEO OUTPUTS
As mentioned back in Section 3.1 , there are multiple monitor ports on the system’s backplane. The operating
system will have set one of these as the “main display”, and this is where the Live Desktop (the primary user
interface and Multiview on the same screen) appears.
Hint: You can choose which monitor is the “main display” by choosing Administrator Mode, then clicking
Display under the Settings heading.
