SECTION 3.15 CONFIGURE TIMECODE
TriCaster can use the system clock to generate ‘local timecode’ shown in the Live
Desktop titlebar, and also embedded in recorded Quicktime (or MPEG2) clips.
To configure timecode, click the configure button (gear) located beside the timecode
display at right in the Dashboard. Please see Section 8.4.3 for more detail.
TriCaster 460, 860 and 8000 support external linear timecode (LTC), which can
serve in place of the local (system) time. A switch is provided in the Timecode
Configuration panel to enable this support, where it is supported.
SECTION 3.16 NETWORKING
TriCaster is capable of displaying screens from networked computers running
NewTek’s iVGA™ client software, output from other supported applications (such as
NewTek’s own LiveText™, or the growing number of third-party programs), video
streamed from additional TriCaster or 3Play™ systems on the network, or from
Apple AirPlay®.
Generally, simply connecting a suitable cable from the Ethernet port on TriCaster’s
backplate to your external network is all that is required to add TriCaster to a local
area network (LAN). In some settings, additional steps
(beyond those mentioned when we discussed Microsoft
Windows® activation in Section 3.2) may be required.
You can access the system Network and Sharing control
panel to accomplish more extensive configuration tasks
– see Settings: Configure Network under the heading
Administrator Mode in Section 5.2.3. If further help
connecting is required, please consult your system
administrator.
The next section (Chapter 4 Live Production
Walkthrough) will guide you through your first
experience using TriCaster.
