Output source options include the displays and audio assigned to any of the four primary outputs, but also
any other Switcher source with the exception of M/Es and animated
Buffers
(a
Buffer
holding an animated
source will output a still image, which may nevertheless ‘still’ be useful for some purposes).
SECTION 15.1
APPLICATIONS
Thi
s means you can simply assign one of these outputs to a suitable downstream system or device, and ‘hot
-
punch’ them at will. Downstream NDI
-enabled devices connected to one of these outputs can thus be
effectively re-configured directly from TriCaster
’s
Live Desktop
or
Control panel
, which provides special
support for this feature.
The potential uses of these outputs is nearly unlimited:
•
Supply external NDI monitoring solutions (such as the NDI Studio Monitor application included in
the free NDI Tools Pack).
•
Recorded them anywhere your network runs using NDI IsoCorder.
•
Convert them to SDI for connection to traditional (non-
IP) studio systems, using either NewTek’s
optional NC1 IO systems, NewTek Connect, or Spark hardware.
Note: Each NC1 IO unit supports up to 4 SDI output channels and a full suite of production tools including
per-channel overlays (which can be still images, animated clips, or even other NDI sources), allowing you to
re-combine and re-brand your video endlessly.
