that clean signal to your remote caller (and control its level), eliminating annoying echoing,
feedback and the like. Meanwhile, both participants can be heard on the main
Program output.
BALANCE
A Balance slider is likewise shown for all source types other than Mic . In a conventional stereo
environment, centering the Balance knob will result in Gain being applied equally to the left and
right channels. Sliding the knob to the left decreases the gain applied to the right channel
(channel 2), while moving to the right of center decreases the gain applied to the left (channel 1).
Of course, TriCaster provides supports four audio output channels (quad). When considering
how
Balance works in this configuration, it may help to think of these four channels as
comprising two independent stereo (left/right) pairs – channels 1 and 2 (or a and b, if you like)
forming one pair, and 3 and 4 (c and d) the other. Sliding Balance to the left decreases Gain for
channels 2 and 4 (the notionally ‘right’ channels), and so on.
VU METERS AND GAIN
The largest portion part of the individual control panels is devoted to VU (Volume Unit) meters
with Gain control knobs. The VU meters displayed vary depending on the Connection Type .
