For example, analog mixers commonly show levels on VU scales indexed as just described. In contrast, digital
devices and editing software usually display levels in dB FS (Decibels Full Scale) with 0dBFS
– the absolute
maximum signal level that can be recorded – at the top. NewTek VU meters have selectable indexing, allowing
you to view a traditional dB VU scale or dBFS as you please (see Section 16.9.1).
Whatever scale you choose, use Volume controls (and, for Mic connections, the Gain controls in the
Configuration panel ) to avoid over-modulation. The Compressor/Limiter feature (also located in the Audio
Configuration panel) is another powerful tool to help you prevent clipping – see Section 16.10.
SECTION 3.13 CONFIGURE GENLOCK
Enable and configure this feature as follows:
1. If the Live Desktop isn’t already open, launch a live production session from TriCaster’s Home page.
2. Access the Output Configuration panel by double-clicking the ( Live Desktop ) PROGRAM viewport.
3. Click the Genlock tab (Figure 28).
4. When connected to SDI, the default
Reference Type in the Genlock
settings group is SD (Bi-level) , as this
is currently the most common
reference signal type. However, if
you supply an HD reference signal to
the Genlock input, you may want to
change the setting to
HD (Tri-level) .
5. With the aid of downstream
Waveform and Vector Scopes , adjust
Horizontal and Vertical Position and
Phase settings in the Genlock section
of the I/O Configuration panel.
