After agreeing to the NewTek license (and a moment or two for the network connection to be
established) the name of the remote computer is added (along with “Black” and any other
networked systems with iVGA running on them) to the iVGA client list.
Note: Gigabit networking is highly recommended, and should be considered mandatory for HD
sessions in particular.

When TriCaster recognizes qualified network sources, it adds them to a drop-down menu for
quick selection (Figure 40).
4. Move your mouse pointer over the Network monitor in the All Monitors tabbed view.
5. Click the triangular menu button above the monitor to quickly select a networked
source (or change the current selection) from the menu located.
Hint: iVGA places a red-green-blue status icon on the client system. For a Windows-based system,
the icon is in the task tray; on Macintosh systems, it is shown in the dock. This indicates this
computer’s display is ready to send to TriCaster. The icon is animated when the iVGA source is
selected as the active Network source in TriCaster.
4.5.2 LIVETEXT™
NewTek’s (optional) standalone LiveText™ application offers features that are very similar to
TriCaster’s integrated
LiveText (see Chapter 17), but installs separately on a compatible
Microsoft Windows® computer.
