SECTION 3.1
COMMAND AND CONTROL
Hint: TriCaster’s interface requires a monitor resolution setting
of at least 1600x1050. 4RU systems may require 1920x1080.
1. Connect an external computer monitor to the port
labeled Interface on the backplate of 4RU models.
2. For 2RU models, use the DVI connector nearest to the
Video In group for the interface monitor connection. For
TriCaster Mini SDI or Mini, use either port in the group
labeled Interface/Multiview.
3. Connect the mouse and keyboard to USB ports on
TriCaster.
4. Connect the power cord (or cords, for 4RU models); or,
for TriCaster Mini or Mini SDI, the external power
supply between the DC Power input connection on
TriCaster’s backplate and an external power receptacle.
5. Turn on the computer monitor.
6. Press the Power switch on TriCaster’s faceplate (located behind the door
on some models).
At this point, the blue Power LED will illuminate, and the adjacent hard drive activity light should flicker as
the device boots up. (If this does not happen, check your connections and retry).
A word about UPS devices:
‘Modified sine wave’ UPS devices are
popular due to low manufacturing
costs. However, such units should
generally be viewed as being of low
quality and possibly inadequate to
fully protect the system from
abnormal power events.
For a modest added cost, consider a
"pure sine wave" UPS. These units can
be relied on to supply very clean
power, eliminating potential
problems, and are recommended for
applications demanding high
reliability.
