VIDEO IN
Cameras or other analog video sources are connected to inputs in the VIDEO IN group. Connectors are organized
in four columns supplying Switcher inputs numbered 1-4. Optional connection types for SD video source include
composite, Y/C (S-Video) and component (Y, Pb, Pr). For HD sources, an HD component connection is required.
VIDEO OUT
Two independent video outputs are supplied. These are numbered 1 and 2 in the VIDEO OUT group and supply
TriCaster’s Program (PGM) and Auxiliary (AUX) video outputs respectively.
Connection types available for Output 1 (PGM) are identical to those for video inputs, according to the session
(HD or SD). The forma t for Output 2 (AUX) is separately configurable. In SD format, its connectors can be
configured to supply composite, Y/C or component video.
AUDIO IN
Connect your audio sources using the RCA (cinch plug) and ¼” (6.35 mm) TRS jacks in the Audio In group on
TriCaster’s faceplate. The ¼” TRS jack (also known as a phone jack) is a mono connector typically used for a
microphone. You might supply the RCA connectors from an external mixer or other audio source such as a CD or
MP3 player.
AUDIO OUT
The connectors in Audio Out are similar, but you’ll note that the ¼” jack is labeled PHONES, hinting that it is
intended for a set of stereo headphones suitable for monitoring sound.
