ETECTION
For backwards compatibility reasons, these routers are auto-detected by default. (Black Magic
®
routers may
use a USB control connection, rather than a network connection. The router’s firmware should be up to date.
If detection fails, please contact BMD support for assistance.)
You can, if you wish, disable auto detection by editing the XML configuration file discussed above. (You might
do this to avail yourself of the extended configuration options that are provided by doing so.) To do this,
simply add the line below to the <config> section of the file.
<blackmagic_config discovery="false"/>
SECTION 3.5
GENLOCK CONNECTION
(Not a TriCaster 410, Mini SDI or Mini feature.) The Genlock input on TriCaster’s backplate 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. Genlocking is commonplace in
higher-end production environments, and genlock connections are typically provided on professional gear.
If your equipment allows you to do so, you should genlock all cameras supplying TriCaster, and TriCaster
itself. To connect the genlock source TriCaster, supply the reference signal from the ‘house sync generator’
to TriCaster’s Genlock In connector. (See Section 3.13 regarding genlock configuration.)
SECTION 3.6
TIMECODE CONNECTION
TriCaster Advanced Edition supports external linear timecode (LTC) input. Connect the cable from your
timecode generator to one of the connectors in audio Input 7 (4RU models) or the 1/8” motherboard line
input connector (all other models). External timecode is automatically recognized when present, but there
are some related settings in the Live Desktop (see also Section 3.14).
SECTION 3.7
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Next we’ll discuss the audio and video output connectors along with relevant settings. We’ll start with video
output – not only so you can view your results, but because certain items are best considered before
beginning a TriCaster session.
3.7.1
A/V OUTPUT
TriCaster provides multiple video and audio output connector groups, and very flexible options for display
of your live and recorded video streams. Here are some of the possibilities:

Simultaneously send output to standard and/or high definition devices from HD sessions.

All hardware inputs and all four outputs are always presented to your local network as NDI sources,
ready for varied utilization at any convenient place where your network extends.
