Note: The special “Frame Buffer” share name assignment is dynamic. Network sharing is activated and
the current Buffer path is automatically updated whenever you enter a session with the option enabled.
This ensures that applications on networked systems can remotely access and update buffer graphics for
the current TriCaster session.

Still image Buffers are normally stored using the popular 32 bit PNG (Portable Network Graphics)
format, but other formats are also supported.

Specific filenames are not important in the buffer workflow. (Actually, multiple media files with
different names can reside in buffer folders. The system always shows the ‘newest’ file – that is,
the one with the most recent modification date.
15.2.4 NDI® SOURCES
The ability to bring NDI® (Network Device Interface) signals into 3Play as DSK sources is the gateway to a
truly staggering range of potential opportunities. Consider just a few of these:

Use NewTek’s LiveText™ titling application to supply graphics and titles to 3Play.

Many third party products, too, can send and update scoring, timing, statistics, and similar
displays to 3Play’s network input.

Insert sponsor messages to add dynamic visuals and generate revenue.

Overlay displays from (Windows® or OS X® based) computer systems (via iVGA™).

Use a network-connected telestration system to provide real-time markup over (or under) video.

Click the gear next to the Network Input entry in the DSK source menu to access Network Input
Configuration dialog (Figure 154). The Connection drop-down menu lists all qualified network sources
that have been detected.
Note: Gigabit networking should be considered mandatory for most purposes.
Let’s consider some of the available network source types in a little more detail.
