A HOW DO I … (?)

In this section, we’ll consider the most common questions TriCaster™ operators may have
(and of course we’ll provide the answer, too). Answers are intentionally brief – perhaps
just a reminder of one or two steps required to perform some operation. For this reason,
we’ll also point you to explanatory information elsewhere in this manual whenever that
would be useful.

If you’ve largely mastered your TriCaster™ but have a specific question, this may be the best place to look
first. The headings that follow list related questions and answers together, along with cross-references and
other helpful remarks.

Hint: The NewTek website includes a comprehensive FAQ database containing a wealth of useful information on
all of its products – please see http://www.newtek.com/faq/
