A typical entry might be as follows:

Save the file after editing, and re-launch TriCaster.
Note: TriCaster communicates with each using individual IP address and port numbers, allowing multiple
routers to be connected simultaneously. Several TriCasters can even control either the same router(s) –
especially useful when TriCaster control is mirrored.
File comments explain how you can bypass the default 1:1 mapping of router outputs to TriCaster inputs
when required, or prevent accidental changes to inputs that are displayed on Program output, along with
other extended configuration options. If you assign names to router inputs or outputs in this file, make
sure the names for each are unique.
Some routers allow each router input to be provided with a unique name. In such a case, TriCaster may be
able to access that name and use it for Switcher buttons as appropriate.
FIGURE 3-5
To enable this behavior, checkmark the Use Router Name switch in the Properties panel (Figure 3-5) opened
by the Switcher (or M/E) button context menu item of the same name.
Hint: The router settings can be made to persist from session to session and even after a new install. To do
this you will need to copy the router_setup.xml file from its current location.
If using TriCaster copy from:
C:\ProgramData\NewTek\TriCaster\Configuration
If using VMC1 copy from:
C:\ProgramData\NewTek\VMC1\Configuration
And paste in the appropriate location:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\NewTek\TriCaster\Configuration\
or
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\NewTek\VMC1\Configuration\
Anytime you need to edit this file, you will edit the version in this new location.
