A.1 CONNECTIONS
A.1.1 CONNECT CAMERAS?
1. Connect video sources to the appropriately labeled BNC input connectors on TriCaster’s backplate
according to your camera’s video output connection type (see Section 3.4).
(Because of the ‘busy’ nature of the backplate, you may find the BNC removal tool provided with
TriCaster helpful for this purpose).
2. Open a TriCaster session (or create a new one) from the Home Page of the Startup Screen.
3. Click the Live icon on the Session Page of the Startup Screen, and press Enter (or click the Start Live
Production link).
4. Roll the mouse pointer over the monitor for the camera you want to set up, and click the Configure
(gear) button that appears in its titlebar.
5. Choose an appropriate Connection Type for your camera in the Input Settings tab (see Section 8.2.1).
A.1.2 CONNECT FILL + ALPHA SOURCES?
1. Connect the Fill (color) source to an odd-numbered video input.
2. Connect the Alpha channel source to the adjacent (higher) even-numbered video input.
3. Open a TriCaster session (or create a new one) from the Home Page of the Startup Screen.
4. Click the Live icon on the Session Page of the Startup Screen, and press Enter (or click the Start Live
Production link).
5. Roll the mouse pointer over the monitor for the camera you want to set up, and click the Configure
(gear) button that appears in its titlebar.
