group in the Internal Audio tab. The controls and options for internal sources are similar to those we discussed
when considering Internal Audio (Section 2.3.3), so we won’t repeat that information here.
STREAM
The audio control group labeled Stream lets you control the audio you send to an online
audience.
There is a Source selection menu at the top of the Stream control group. This allows menu
you select individual Media Players by name, Internal (a mix-down of all Media Player
output), All (identical to the Master mix), or Solo (a mix of all soloed sources only). Other
Stream controls are the same as those discussed earlier and are familiar by now.
MASTER (AND HEADPHONES)
The Master volume slider and associated VU meters relate to TriCaster’s main audio output
level. Just above these, you’ll see a Balance slider, and above that again, a knob controlling
volume of audio sent to the Headphone jack. Generally, the Headphone audio mix is the same
as Master, but as discussed earlier, it is replaced by the Solo mix when any sources have that
switch enabled.
2.3.4 INTERNET STREAMING
One of TriCaster’s great strengths is its direct support for streaming your productions to the Internet, and in turn
to a potentially unlimited audience. Online broadcasting can be a simple matter or more complex depending on
your needs. Rather than give this important topic short shrift here, we’ve devoted the entirety of Chapter 5 to
the topic.
