1. If the Live Desktop isn’t already open, launch a TriCaster session from Startup.
2. Access the Output Configuration panel by double-clicking the main Program
Output monitor on the Live Desktop.
3. Click the Genlock & Failsafe tab (Figure 32).
4. The default Reference Type in the Genlock settings group is SD (Bi-level), as this is
currently the most common reference signal type. However, if you supply an HD
reference signal to the Genlock input, you may want to change the setting to HD
(Tri-level).
5. With the aid of downstream Waveform and Vector Scopes, adjust TriCaster’s
Horizontal and Vertical Position and Phase settings in the Genlock section of the
I/O Configuration panel.
FIGURE 32
Ideally both the cameras and TriCaster should be genlocked. If they are not
genlocked to the same reference signal as the TriCaster output, a TBC (Time Base
Correction) operation is automatically applied. Time base correction may drop or
insert frames as necessary to maintain sync, hence is a less desirable approach.
Note: For a deeper discussion of genlocking, please see Section 8.1.2.
