For digital inputs (AES/EBU or SDI Embedded) with more than two channels, only channels 1 and
2 are centered. (If present, two additional digital audio channels are passed through unchanged
on channels 3 and 4.)
SOLO
Solo implementations and options vary widely in the audio industry, but broadly speaking, the
feature provides several very useful functions. TriCaster’s Solo feature offers remarkable
flexibility without overly confusing complexity.
Consider a few basic principles:
 The Solo switch state never has any impact on Program out audio.
 When all Solo switches are off, the combined audio mix from all sound sources is sent to
the Master and Headphones output connectors.
 Enabling Solo for a source sends its (after-fader) sound to the Headphones output, but
removes any non-soloed sources from that output.
 Enabling Solo for a source sends its (after-fader) sound to the Headphones output, but
removes any non-soloed sources from that output.
 Enabling Solo for a source also sends its (after-fader) sound to the Aux mix whenever
Solo is selected in the Source menu of the Audio tab’s Aux control group.
Let’s consider some practical applications using these options.
AUDITIONING AN AUDIO SOURCE
It can be very useful to be able to preview one or more audio sources, doing so without allowing
the test sound to be audible on Program output. Typically, this need arises in connection with
testing microphones or other audio sources that will be used in the production.
To audition an audio source in this manner:
1. First, Mute it (to remove it from Program output).
