may cause video ‘tearing’. Also, for best quality, be sure
that the VGA Output Resolution you choose corresponds to that of the monitor connected (see
Section 7.1.5).
NOTE: Changing Output Resolution can cause frames to be dropped briefly. Thus we do not
recommend changing this setting during live production.
A.3.15 VIEW MEDIA PLAYER TIME DATA ON MULTIVIEW OUT WHEN SET TO
‘ALL SOURCES’?
Space limitations prevent TriCaster from displaying timecode fields beneath monitors on
Multiview output when VGA Output Resolution is set to 720x480.
A.4 FILES
A.4.1 MANAGE FILES?
Please refer to the item (How do I) Manage Selected Content inside a Session? (Section A.2.7).
A.4.2 CHANGE THE RECORDING QUALITY?
TriCaster has two optional quality settings for recording live video, Normal Profile (Compatibility
Mode) and High Profile . Both of these alternatives record ‘I-frame only’ MPEG2 files at a rate of
approximately 100mbps for HD video (or half that for SD sessions).
The Normal setting produces a ‘standard profile’ MPEG2 with 4:2:0 encoding, and has best
compatibility with third-party products. High quality files comply with the MPEG2 ‘high profile’
standard, resulting in 4:2:2 encoding at the expense of slightly less cross-product compatibility.
To change the setting:
1. Open a TriCaster session.
