6. Select the file you exported above, and click Open.
The second M/E will adopt the exact same settings as the first. Now all you need to do is replace the
currently assigned LiveSet with a matching one by clicking Add at upper-right in the tab, choosing the
LiveSet you want, and clicking OK.
A.3.16 IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF MULTIVIEW OUTPUT?
For best visual quality, be sure that the Multiview Resolution you choose in the Dashboard’s Workspace menu
corresponds to the optimum display size for the monitor connected (see Section 10.1).
NOTE: Changing Output Resolution can cause frames to be dropped briefly. Thus we do not recommend changing
this setting during live production.
A.4 FILES
A.4.1 MANAGE FILES?
Please refer to the item (How do I) Manage Selected Content inside a Session? (Section A.2.7).
A.4.2 IMPORT MEDIA FILES?
Importing files implies copying them into the TriCaster session folders, making them local (rather than
external). At times, imported files are also automatically transcoded to ‘friendly’ formats for realtime
playback. To import media files:
1. Launch a TriCaster session.
2. Click the File menu in the Live Desktop’s Dashboard.
3. Click the Import Media item.
4. Use the Import Media module that opens to create a list of files you wish to import into the current
session, and click the Import button.
Hint: You may know that external files can be used in a session without being imported, by adding them to Media
Player playlists using the “Add Media Location” feature. However, such external files used in a session will not be
included in session backups (unless they are deliberately imported during the backup process), nor are they deleted
when sessions are deleted. Also, the transfer speed of many external devices is too slow for reliable playback of
large clips, making it wise to use Import instead whenever possible.
A.4.3 AVOID DELAYS WHEN SESSION MEDIA IS OFFLINE?
Launching a session when content in Media Player playlists that is served across a network is offline or
missing can result in lengthy delays, even making it seem as if TriCaster has ‘hung’.
