1. Configure the first TriCaster:
o Create a new session in the desired format.
o Go on to configure cameras, Proc Amps, media content, Audio Inputs
and Mixer settings, M/E configurations, etc., just the way you want
for your production.
2. Exit the session, and use TriCaster’s Backup Session feature (see 5.3.3) to
back it up, gathering all media assets in the process.
3. Click the Shutdown icon on the Home Page, and select Administration Mode.
4. From the Administration Mode screen, Exit to Windows, and locate the
session backup file you created.
5. Transfer the session backup across the network to the remote system.
6. Use the Restore Session Backup feature (see Section 5.2.2) on the Home page
of the remote system to open the backup session file, and launch the session.
7. Re-launch the original session on the controlling system, and enable remote
control over the second system using the Options menu item as described
earlier.
That does it as far as configuring TriCaster goes. Obviously too, though, mirroring
normally calls for upstream distribution amps to multiply camera feeds, attention to
matching up audio routing, and so on. Likewise, in most cases, attention must be
given to output routing (and sometimes, ‘failover’ device planning and connection).
In yet another approach to all of this, you might consider using an outboard network
drive as the Session Volume for both systems.
Note: Normally, TriCasters operating under remote control retain autonomous local
control response. You can actually enable bi-directional remote control by configuring two
systems to control each other. This can be very desirable, such in cases where different
operators are responsible for certain aspects of the production process.
