ABOUT THIS MANUAL Chapter 1
This manual tells you everything you need to know to use your
TriCaster™, and occasionally, even more. It attempts to convey
essential information in a friendly, concise way, while also
providing a deeper reference section you can turn to when you
really need all of the relevant details.
Even if you are the hands-on, never-ask-directions type, please peruse this page. If
any questions about your TriCaster arise later, you may find the information here
allows you to jump directly to the details you need with a minimum of reading.
 PART I – GETTING STARTED
Introduction to TriCaster™: connecting devices (cameras, monitors, etc.)
and registration, ending with the Live Production Walkthrough – a brisk
jog through fundamentals, a bit less than 60 pages.
 PART II – REFERENCE
This section covers every arcane detail related to using TriCaster (for
those who need it, and those who just like to know everything).
 PART III – APPENDICES
Leads off with a handy section titled “How do I …?“, a helpful question
and answer section with its own brief index. When you have a specific
need, you may well find a quick answer here, along with cross references
to more detailed information when appropriate.
Appendix D lists all shortcut keys. You will also find a comprehensive
keyword index in Part III.
Note: Consistency of layout, controls and features is a noteworthy attribute of the
professional TriCaster family. This makes it easy for you to move between TriCaster
models without either a significant learning curve or errors, and also lets us reveal
them in a single manual. Model differences are noted in this Guide where necessary
by remarks such as “TriCaster 8000 only”,”8-input models only”, etc.
