2. To input analog audio along with the video, connect the external audio sources to the
XLR connectors in the Audio In group box (Figure 12). We’ll discuss audio Connection
Type options a bit later, in Section 3.12.
Digital Audio Note: To connect AES/EBU (a.k.a, AES3) audio source, use the BNC connectors in the
Digital Audio (AES) section. SDI video sources with embedded audio do not need a separate audio
connection.

3.5.1 GENLOCK CONNECTION
The Genlock input on TriCaster’s backplate (Figure 13) is for connection of a ‘house sync’ or
reference signal (often a ‘black burst’ signal intended specifically for this purpose). Many studios
use this method to synchronize equipment in the video chain.
