the internet, then transfer update files to TriCaster using a network connection or perhaps a USB
thumb-drive.
DEFRAGMENT HARD DRIVE
Over the course of lengthy use, the section of TriCaster’s internal storage devoted to audio and
video storage can become fragmented. Eventually, this can degrade playback performance.
Defragmenting corrects this condition.
You could think of your hard drive as being like a shelf in your library. As time goes along, the
shelf fills with books. Some are large while others are small, just as TriCaster session content
files may be larger or smaller.
To make room for new additions, you decide
to remove books you have finished with from
the shelf. You remove a book here, another
there, opening up gaps between the
remaining books.
This makes some shelf space available, but
does so in the form of gaps separated by the
remaining books. Sadly, when you obtain
another large book, it may be too big to fit in
any one of the gaps.
