Hint: If your equipment supports SDI, this is the best alternative. Note that the following analog output options are
not supported by TriCaster 410 or TriCaster Mini

b. Component – Attach your device to the second, third and fourth BNC connectors (Y, Pb and Pr).

c. Y/C

If your S-Video equipment and cabling has the usual 4-pin mini-DIN connectors, you will

need an ‘S-Video to dual BNC’ adapter.

i. Attach the Y (luma) connector of your device to the second analog BNC connector row

(labeled Pb at far left in the VIDEO IN group).

ii. Attach the C (chroma) connector to the third analog connector (labeled Pr).


d. Composite – Attach the device’s connector to the first (top) analog connector (just above the pair

labeled Y/C).

2. Connect TriCaster’s audio outputs:

a. Analog audio – Connect external audio devices to the connectors in the AUDIO OUT section.


8-input TriCasters offer two pairs of four audio output connectors:

i. Connectors 1a-(1b or 1d) provide sound from the mix assigned to Output 1 (defaults to

Master in Output Configuration)

ii. Connectors 2a-(2b or 2d) provide sound from the mix assigned to Output 2 (defaults to Aux

in Output Configuration)

Note: These two output groups are actually treated by TriCaster as four independent stereo outputs, each
configured and controlled separately; see Chapter 15, Audio.

b. Digital audio – A separate digital audio connection is not necessary for SDI or HDMI output with

embedded audio. AES/EBU connectors are provided for Output 1(channels a-d) on 8-input

models.

Hint: TriCaster’s SDI and analog output sections can be used simultaneously. For example, you could use the
Composite output to view your program on a local composite monitor at the same time as you use the SDI
connection to supply broadcast equipment.

SUPPLEMENTAL VIDEO OUTPUTS

Additional dedicated video outputs make it possible to connect monitors or projection devices to TriCaster
for a variety of purposes including program output for IMAG (Image Magnification) installations or flexible
monitoring for the convenience of the operator.

1. TriCaster’s external Multiview output is supplied by a connector located near the main Interface

monitor connector (8-input models) or a neighboring HDMI port (4-input models). Again, connect a
suitable monitor or display device. The new device should be recognized and enabled by the system
automatically.
