VOLUME
Figure 92
Beneath the Session name you will see a field labeled Volume. Here you can choose which hard
drive the session (and its associated content) will be created and stored on.
Suitable hard drives added to one of TriCaster’s removable drive bays are listed in a drop-down
menu when you click on the field. You can select any drive shown.
Note: External drives are not recommended for active use as session drives. See Section A.1.7 for
suggested hard drive specifications for use in TriCaster’s removable drive bays.
FORMAT AND OUTPUT CONSIDERATIONS
Remember that for live production, TriCaster can supply SD output (for SD sessions), or both SD
and HD (in the case of HD sessions). The format of video signal on Program and Aux outputs
varies according to the session type:

For all HD sessions, Program (Row 1) output is also HD

For all SD sessions, Program (Row 1) output is likewise SD.

For 16:9 sessions (HD or SD 16:9), Program (Row 1) output is consistently configured as
16:9 too, while for SD 4:3 sessions output is of course formatted as 4:3.
Aux row video output is uniquely configurable, within certain limitations for different session
formats. For example, during an HD session, you can output either HD or SD video from Row 3,
and SD video output can be either a 16:9 widescreen format or one cropped for display on a 4:3
television (see Section 7.1).
