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 IsoCorder™ technology delivers
powerful recording capabilities. As TriCaster
primary outputs are configurable, you can use
them to capture
Program , Program (Clean),
individual Switcher sources, M/E s, and more. You
can record up to eight such “Mix” video sources
simultaneously, and also capture Switcher input
sources (recording capabilities are affected by to your storage volume’s bandwidth and capacity) .

Recording is easily enabled and disabled by clicking the large RECORD button in the Dashboard (Figure 241).
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 captu re almost anything, settings and controls for recording
are provided in the individual Input Configuration panels as well as the Output Configuration pane. Click
