SOURCE
The Aux video output is uniquely flexible as respects which sources can be displayed. While some
of these mirror those presented as options for the Multiview output, others are not. Notably,
the
Input and Frame Buffer sub-menus support several exclusive displays. Here is the complete
list of possibilities:

Input – any primary Switcher source (Camera, Network, or Media Player)

Frame Buffer – any individual Frame Buffer image.

Preview – the Look Ahead Preview display.

Program – TriCaster’s main Program output.

Program (Clean) – TriCaster’s main Program output, minus the two primary Overlay
channels and FTB.

FX – the current FX source selection.
Hint: Remember than TriCaster’s Record feature can optionally capture output from Aux,
providing many useful capabilities – see Section 16.1.1.

HD (1080i or 720p) options appear only when the session format is likewise HD.

SD output options are always available – 480i (or 576i for PAL sessions, Multi-standard
model only).

When you select an SD output option for an HD session, you are able to choose
between16:9 (widescreen) or 4:3 (cropped) output.

For each format option, the appropriate Connection Type options are also shown.
