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.
