NDI O UTPUT M ATRIX R OUTERS
TriCaster 2 Elite provides an additional eight NDI outputs, labeled OUT 1-8 on the Live Desktop .
FIGURE 21 (TC2 ELITE SHOWN)
Figure 21 highlights two tabs in labeled OUTPUTS 1-4 and 5-8 , located at right just above the main Switcher .
Clicking a tab reveals one of two specialized crosspoint panels, which appear in the same place that M/E
and PREVIZ modules are normally shown (Figure 22).
FIGURE 22 (TC2 ELITE SHOWN)
You would not be wrong to think of these panels and their associated NDI outputs as integrated Output Matrix
Routers , in that their features are very similar to those normally provided by an external SDI matrix router .
FIGURE 23
We’ll discuss advanced aspects of these internal Output Matrix Routers later (Chapter 15). At this point, when
discussing configuring your system, let’s simply note that you can assign many different sources to each of
the 8 supplemental NDI outputs in these panes (4 in TC1 Pro) so much so that the source option buttons
occupy three banks of optional sources, similar to the
Switcher source rows.

CONFIGURE VIDEO INPUTS
Source selection settings for video inputs can be accessed in the Live Desktop ’s monitoring section, so let’s
spend a few moments there before continuing.
