SECONDARY COMPUTER MONITOR (OR PROJECTOR)
TriCaster supports the use of its secondary output connector by means of its Multiview output
feature. This output can serve as a supplementary program output for projection, or for
operational monitoring purposes (see Section 7.1.5).
1. Connect the external device to the secondary output on TriCaster’s backplate using an
appropriate cable (and/or adapter, if required).
2. Open a TriCaster session (or create a new one) from the Home page of the Startup
Screen .
3. Click the Live icon on the Sessions page of the Startup Screen , and press Enter (or click
the Start Live Production link).
4. Roll the mouse pointer over the main Program output monitor, and click the Configure
(gear) button that appears above it.
5. In the Output Configuration panel’s Multiview tab, set VGA Output Resolution to
match the native resolution of the external device.
6. Select an optional display mode from the Screen Layout menu.
NOTE: Changing Output Resolution can cause frames to be dropped briefly. We do not
recommend changing this setting during live production.
VIDEO MONITORS/DEVICES
Downstream video monitoring devices must be compatible with the video broadcast standard
(such as NTSC or PAL) you intend to use in the TriCaster session.
1. Connect cables between downstream devices (whether monitors or other devices) and
appropriately labeled connectors on TriCaster’s backplate (see Section 3.6.1).
2. Open a TriCaster session (or create a new one) from the Home page of the Startup
Screen .
