IMPORTANT: If there is a policy at your company that prevents you from installing new software on
your computer, download and save iVGA to the USB thumb drive. You can run it from there without
installing it on your computer.
iOS VIDEO SOURCE (Apple AirPlay)
To use a wireless iOS device (iPad, iPod, or iPhone) as a network video source, simply
establish a WiFi connection with the same local network as TriCaster.
That’s it. Your device is ready to use as a video source and you can continue to the next section.
5) Connecting Network Video Sources
Now that you have your network video source ready, it’s time to connect it to TriCaster Mini using a network
input. The steps for connecting a computer running iVGA, a computer running iVGA PRO, and an Apple
AirPlay device are slightly different, so follow the next steps carefully—and be sure to use the right ones!

icon appears in your Dock, and an iVGA Status dialog box opens on your desktop with a message that says
iVGA is ready and listening.
