16 AUDIO
Less than 100 years ago, movies were silent. We’ve come a very
long way since “The Jazz Singer” (1927, Warner Bros.) High quality
audio and audio management tools are almost certainly a
requirement for your live productions.
When it comes to audio, TriCaster provides professional quality and
convenience, which we’ll explore in this chapter.
External audio connections were discussed back in Sections 3.6.1 and 3.4.1. You’ll recall that
there are three groups of audio inputs (numbered 1-3) on TriCaster’s faceplate, along with
separate connections for Program output (PGM), Auxiliary output (AUX), and headphones
(PHONES). In addition, of course, live network streams contain audio output.
The Audio tab (Figure 178) is home to all of the controls required to manage both audio input
and output.

Compact sub-panels are dedicated to each input (including internal sources) and output. Each
sub-panel provides the configuration options and controls for one audio source or output.
