to quickly reset iVGA. Selecting this is equivalent to stopping and re-starting iVGA.
This is also where you set the rate of transfer your network can safely handle. Gigabit network
connection provides the best transfer rates. Slower connections may drop frames, are should be
considered unsuitable especially for HD sessions (in extreme cases, where network capability is
low or unreliable because of other traffic, iVGA would still be useful for static displays).
Hint: Lower Hardware Acceleration may help in some cases where a client application uses
display technology that would otherwise not work with iVGA. (Normally this can be left
disabled.)
1. Zoom allows you to magnify an area of the Windows display, which can help when fine
detail is important for an application display on the screen. The portion of the screen sent to
iVGA output is determined by the position of the cursor on screen.
You can set zoom to 150, 200 or 400 percent, or disable it. When you do not want your
zoomed view to move once set, you can lock zoom position with a hotkey — Right Ctrl +
Numpad 9. The hotkey is a toggle – use it again to cause the display to track the cursor again
(this is useful to re-position the display, too.)
2. Privacy mode allows the client some discretion if they need to check e-mail, or perhaps view
or arrange something without risk of the audience observing. When selected, this will
display a large “Privacy Mode” banner in TriCaster’s preview monitors, so the operator is
aware this source is temporarily off-line. The client icon also has a ‘P’ across the face, to
remind the client that privacy mode is active.
3. Lastly, selecting Exit shuts down the iVGA client, and removes the icon from the task tray.
9.2 LIVETEXT
As we noted in the Walkthrough chapter (Section 4.5.2) a companion workstation on your
TriCaster network with LiveText™ standalone installed serves as a dedicated CG and title solution
for your live presentations.
