Hint: TriCaster
’s SDI and analog output sections can be used simultaneously. For
example, you could use the Composite output to view your program on a local composite
monitor at the same time as you use the SDI connection to supply broadcast equipment.
3.8.3 SUPPLEMENTAL VIDEO OUTPUTS
Additional dedicated video outputs make it possible to connect monitors or
projection devices to TriCaster for a variety of purposes including program output
for IMAG (Image Magnification) installations or flexible monitoring for the
convenience of the operator.
1. TriCaster’s external Multiview output is supplied by a connector located near
the main Interface monitor connector (8-input models) or a neighboring
HDMI port (4-input models). Again, connect a suitable monitor or display
device. The new device should be recognized and enabled by the system
automatically.
The Multiview output offers a variety of optional monitoring layouts that can
be selected at any time in TriCaster’s Live Desktop.
2. Some TriCaster models also provide an additional, assignable video output
on a labeled HDMI connector. Simply connect a suitable external monitor or
device to the connector on the backplane.
3. Stream and Network both require only a network connection.
4. Two special outputs are labeled Display (numbered [5] and [6] on 4RU
TriCaster’s backplate). These ports can serve projectors or similar large
display systems, though of course they can be used for other purposes too.
With the exception of Output 3 (8-input models only), most Outputs are similar as
respects the optional video sources they can be configured to supply. Output 3
supports cloning either Output 1 or 2, or any single Switcher source (including
Buffers).
