For rack-mounted systems, additional monitor ports

located just above the SDI inputs on the backplane

are

available to connect monitors or projection devices (etc.) for various purposes, including program output for
IMAG (Image Magnification) installations.

VMC1 supports the use of three such extra displays, while TC1 and 410 Plus each allow two.

These supplemental monitors are referred to as

Multiview

outputs, and can display a variety of optional

layouts that can be selected and configured at any time in the

Live Desktop

.

Note: A mismatch of output format and connection type is possible at times. For example, imagery in a
Graphics player may not match the current output resolution or the selected connection type. Display
mismatches can often be handled, but in rare cases the source may simply not be shown.

TALLY LIGHTS

Rack

mount

TriCaster models provide

Tally Light

support to allow you to connect external

tally lights and similar devices.

These typically provide a red LED for a v

ideo input selected on the Switcher’s

Program

row.

(NDI outputs also natively support tally over the network, without a separate connection.)
