Note: The broadcast video standard (such as NTSC, NTSC-J or PAL) of all
video sources connected for a given session must match.
2. To input analog audio along with the video, connect the desired audio
sources to the (XLR or ¼”) connectors as provided in the Audio In group.
We’ll discuss audio Connection Type options a bit later, in Section 3.13.
Note: SDI or HDMI video sources with embedded audio do not necessarily
require separate analog audio connections.
3.5.2 CONNECTING A VIDEO ROUTER
(TriCaster 8000 only) With the appropriate software installed, TriCaster 8000
systems can control and access output from brands supporting the popular Grass
Valley® Native Protocol are supported, as well as Black Magic Design® Video Hub
routers.
The implementation offers a number of configuration options; a basic setup would
be as follows:
Connect the router to TriCaster by Ethernet cable, and then connect one (or
more) of the router’s video outputs to TriCaster inputs with matching
numbers, using suitable video cables.
(For example, by default router output number 3 would be connected to
TriCaster’s Input 3 for control communication between the devices to be
properly linked.)
Click the Shutdown icon on TriCaster’s Home page (Startup), and click the
Administrator Mode at right.
In the Administrator Mode panel, click Exit to Windows.
Navigate to the C:\TriCaster\Configuration folder, and open the file named
router_setup.xml by double-clicking it (it will launch in Notepad).
