3.6 RECORD, GRAB
Located immediately beneath the Program monitor are Record, Stream and Grab buttons (along with their
respective Configure buttons).
We’ll discuss streaming further on, but let’s consider Record and Grab here. TriCaster provides a great deal of
flexibility when it comes to capturing your production. This is very useful for immediate post production
purposes or for playback during a live production.

The Configure button (gear) located next to the Record button (Figure 51) opens the Record Configuration panel
(Figure 52).
3.6.1 RECORD CONFIGURATION
The Record Configuration panel allows you to
select which source to capture along with other
settings.
The first thing you may want to do is enter a Base
Name for captured files (this name increments
numerically when you start and stop recording).
