Notice that when the video source assigned to Input 1 is on output, you hear its associated audio
input. When you perform a Take placing Input 2 on output, the audio source connected to row 2
in the
Audio In section is heard.
When Follow is enabled for an audio source, its sound is automatically sent to output whenever
the associated video source is displayed on output. In this case, the levels shown in the VU
meter for that audio source are drawn in color. When you switch away from that video source,
the VU meter still shows audio levels, but the graph is drawn in black and white (providing
confirmation that audio is present even before you switch).
Hint: Follow even works when the associated video source is displayed on Output as an Overlay or
Virtual Input source.
4.5 NETWORK SOURCES
Perhaps you’d like to be able to add Microsoft PowerPoint
®
output, web pages, Skype ™ video
calls, application displays, titles and graphics from NewTek’s LiveText ™ or other exotic content to
your productions. TriCaster supports all such displays as Switcher sources from computers on
the same network via the supplied iVGA™ client application (not required for LiveText).
4.5.1 IVGA CLIENTS
1. For a Microsoft Windows
®

For
OS X client systems, copy the file iVGA.dmg.zip from the same folder to the Mac.
Unzip it by double-clicking it; mount the disk image (.dmg file) in the same manner, then
drag the iVGA program icon into Applications. (See Section 9.1 for more detail).
2. Connect TriCaster to the client computer via the local network. (For computer-to-
