REFERENCE TYPE
The ‘bi-level’ reference signal long used for standard definition television is often used for
genlocking both SD and HD installations. However, if you are supplying an HD reference signal to
TriCaster’s
Genlock Input (and your other equipment), select the HD (Tri-level) switch in the
Reference Type area of TriCaster’s Genlock settings.
Note: Reference Type options do not appear for SD sessions.
8.1.6 CENTER FREQUENCY
This setting is applied when a Genlock reference signal is not in use. To adjust the setting, supply
color bars to an input and pass TriCaster’s video output to a downstream vectorscope. The
vectorscope display is completely stable when
Center Frequency is properly adjusted.
8.2 INPUT CONFIGURATION
Figure 112
Just as for Program Output , the other preview monitors also have contextual tools that appear
when you roll the mouse pointer over them. In every case, the right-most button is a Configure
button (Figure 112). Clicking it opens the Configuration panel for a specific source (Figure 113).
