A UDIO AND V IDEO C ONNECTIONS
The basic IP connection setup between the NewTek production system and TalkShow is quite simple.
Individual a/v outputs for each remote Skype caller from TalkShow can be assigned to the
Switcher and Audio
Mixer like any other NDI a/v input source.
Similarly, the video output from your program can be assigned as the return-to-caller source on the
TalkShow system. You will likely want to prepare a unique mix minus audio feed for the audio return to each
individual caller. See the sub-heading Sub-
Mixes and ‘Mix Minus’ in Section 16.10.3 of this manual for more
detail on configuring these.
B.1.2 SKYPE TX CONTROLLER
A vital part of the Skype TX™ platform is the call -center application referred to as Skype TX Controller
(available here for free). You might think o f Skype TX Controller as the ‘switchboard’ for your calls. The
operator can initiate outgoing calls, answer incoming calls, and more.

The Skype TX Controller console provides numerous professional conveniences, including contact and call
management tools, auto-answer, detailed call quality metrics, and fall-back images to be displayed
automatically should network conditions for a remote caller fall below designated minimums.
B.1.3 SKYPE TX CALLER
TriCaster also features native Skype TX capabilities independent of a TalkShow system.
