TriCaster decodes time stamps from the audible signal, and uses the values for clock
displays and embedded timecode when recording video. This is a great asset for
post-production purposes. Enable linear timecode using the switch labeled Use
External timecode (LTC) in Timecode Configuration.
Sound from the audio input tasked with supplying timecode is automatically muted
for recording and output purposes when LTC timecode is enabled, but you can un-
mute it briefly in the Audio Mixer to let you adjust input levels.
Hint: The timecode display in the Live Desktop titlebar is tinted blue when external
timecode is in use. If the external connection is lost for any reason, the display changes
to white. TriCaster will attempt to maintain continuous timecode from the interruption on,
until a valid signal is restored (in which case the display turns blue once more).
