There is a source Type selector drop-down at the top of the control panels for Inputs 1-3 .
Clicking it opens the list of connection types.
The Type options for Input 1 are slightly different, including two Mic options (with and without
phantom power ). This is because the faceplate provides two combination XLR/Phone connectors
in the analog portion of the row labeled Input 1, while Inputs 2 and 3 each contain four phone
jacks instead.
After connecting audio sources to the input connectors (see also Section 3.4.1), the first thing to
do is set the correct
Type using the drop-down menu. Select Mic for professional grade
microphones or other low impedance connections, Mic + Phantom for condenser microphones
requiring supplementary power, Line for higher impedance device connections (such as a CD
player, computer audio output or VCR), and AES/EBU * or SDI Embedded * as required to connect
a digital audio source.
* (see important note about synchronizing digital audio sources in Section 3.5.1)
Note: Analog levels conform to SMPTE RP-155. The maximum input/output level is +24 dBu,
nominal input level +4 dBu (-20dBFS), and the sample rate is 48 kHz.
The Gain sliders next to the VU meters for Inputs 1-3 default to their lowest setting on first
launch. After adding audio sources, slowly bring these sliders up to pass their signals through the
system. The 0dB position represents
unity gain – that is, the (post-Trim) signal is passed through
as-is, without increase or decrease.

Hint: As for most numeric controls in TriCaster, Shift + double-click control knobs to reset them to
their default (0dB for Gain sliders).
