The
2 button in M/E 1 row A
should now be in
blue
and the 1 button in M/E 1 row A in
gold
. Not only that,
but you should now see the video from Camera 2 in the large Program window (if you have a second
camcorder connected). But, more importantly, notice that your video switcher hasn’t changed—the M/E 1
button is still selected on Program.
That’s because you switched a sub-mix using the M/E.
Sub-mixing is a simple, but powerful capability in TriCaster Mini. In this basic exercise, you simply switched
your Program output using M/E 1, rather than the video switcher. But, what if you were to configure your
second video output, stream output, or one of TriCaster Mini’s supplemental display ports to output M/E 1?
You can essentially produce a second version of the same show for a different audience – simultaneously.
Imagine your online audience watching your live stream and seeing cameras switching between panelists, title
graphics identifying them by name, plus a slideshow, video clips and images mixed in. Meanwhile, the
audience in attendance, who can see the panelists and their name cards in person, sees a sub-mix of the
slideshow, video clips and images on the projection screen. With a little practice, you can make it happen!
CONFIGURING TRICASTER MINI OUTPUTS
Among the hundreds of capabilities that make TriCaster Mini so versatile are the individually configurable
outputs. Being able to change the video and audio sources being supplied to an output destination is
very valuable for creating a satisfying viewing experience for an in-person audience and a remote
audience – simultaneously.
