8 I/O CONFIGURATION
TriCaster provides extensive control over your video signal at both
input and output stages.
Each video source has its own realtime Proc Amp and keyer (via
LiveMatte). As well, TriCaster supports independent Proc Amp
settings for each of output types - Program, Stream and VGA.
It is very useful to be able to adjust each source and also the output stream independently.
Source configuration options ensure that you can match camera inputs to each other, and that
their signals fall within legal ranges (it’s best to use camera white balance controls whenever
possible, mind you ).
Output proc amp settings allow you to make adjustments for a specific purpose. For example,
independent
Proc Amp controls make it simple to tweak the VGA output to conform to local
conditions such as projector color temperature variations, projection surface color and local
lighting conditions – without affecting other video output streams.
Let’s begin with a consideration of Output Configuration tools.
