16 RECORD AND GRAB
You will often want to capture video clips from external sources, as
well as to record your own outgoing live production.
Similarly, it can be quite useful to be able to grab stills from
Program output for use in the current production. This chapter will
provide everything you need to know about this topic.
TriCaster TCXD850 offers the ability to capture the a/v stream from either Program out or Aux to
hard disk. This can be useful as a method of archiving a live production for later use, or as a way
to capture video clips for playback from the
DDR during a live production.
Relevant settings and controls are grouped in the Record Configuration panel. To open this
panel, click the Configure button (gear) next to Record beneath the Program Output monitor.
Hint: Record and Grab functions capture imagery from after the video signal has been processed
by both Main and Input Proc Amps.
16.1.1 RECORD
Recording provides a way to capture an entire live production on the system, or to capture media
files for use in a
DDR or SpeedEDIT (SpeedEDIT provides its own supplemental capture capability
for pre and post production applications).

Clicking the Record button activates recording (Figure 208), illuminating the button. The
timecode display resets to zero when recording begins. Recording uses the current settings from
the
Record Configuration panel, discussed next.
