CONNECTION TYPE
Individual sub-panel panels for external sources govern a group of physical audio connections including
variously (depending on TriCaster model) two XLR inputs, an AES/EBU (AES3) BNC connector, and HDMI or
SDI Embedded digital audio sources. In addition, NDI and Dante™ audio sources can be assigned to any
control group.
*Note: Dante support requires an inexpensive user license from Audinate™.
Naturally, only one connection type can be active for a given audio input group at any
moment. To access the Connection menu, move the cursor into the label of an input, and click
the Configure (gear) button that appears just at right. The Advanced Audio Configuration panel
will be shown.
The drop-down Connection menu at the top of this pane allows the selection of one of the various sources.

Local physical sources are listed as IN 1 (Line, Mic, etc.), IN 2, and so on.

Dante sources (network audio from systems supporting this protocol from Audinate™)

Follow INPUT (1-n) – the default source selection; links the audio source for this control group to the
same number video input.

NDI audio sources.
Note: Channels 1 and 2 of TriCaster’s Master and Aux 1 outputs are always sent to Dante channels 1-4.
15.4.2
AUDIO HARDWARE OPTIONS
If you choose one of the local hardware input sources, such as IN 1, you will often need to further specify
which of several optional connectors grouped under that input is used to supply audio to this input. For
example, you may wish to connect to XLR connectors, or use the SDI embedded audio from the same input
group on TriCaster’s chassis.
To choose this setting, click the configuration gadget (gear)
shown at right beside your Connection selection in the
Advanced Audio Configuration panel. In turn, this will open the
Hardware Configuration panel’s Input tab, allowing you to
specify which Audio Source type you wish to use (Figure 15-7).
