(A discussion of these adjustments goes beyond the scope of this manual, but a quick online
search for the keywords “genlock” and “adjust” turns up a number of excellent references).
REFERENCE TYPE
The ‘bi-level’ reference signal long used for standard definition television is often used for
genlocking both SD and HD installations.
However, if you are supplying an HD reference signal to TriCaster’s Genlock Input (and your
other equipment), select the HD (Tri-level) switch in the Reference Type area of TriCaster’s
Genlock settings.
Note: Reference Type options do not appear for SD sessions.
7.1.7 CENTER FREQUENCY
This setting is applied when a Genlock reference signal is not in use. To adjust the setting, supply
color bars to an input and pass TriCaster’s video output to a downstream vectorscope. The
vectorscope display is completely stable when
Center Frequency is properly adjusted.
7.2 INPUT CONFIGURATION
Figure 124
Just as for Program Output , the other preview monitors also have contextual tools that appear
when you roll the mouse pointer over them.
In every case, the right-most button is a
Configure button (Figure 124). Clicking it opens the
Configuration panel for a specific source (Figure 125).
