Although you might well never even notice, a two minute initialization period begins after you
start (or re-start) TriCaster. This ‘warm-up’ period allows the system to stabilize, ensuring
consistent performance of various components (for example, video clips playing in the DDR
before the end of initialization could skip some frames). See Section 6.5.1 for more information.
At this time, though, we want to begin our tour of the Live Desktop with consideration of the
monitoring features and options it provides.
4.3 MONITORING
4.3.1 PROGRAM OUTPUT
Inevitably, you’ll be paying a lot of attention to the main Program Output monitor (Figure 31),
found at the right side of the Live Desktop in the upper (monitoring) section. This display shows
you what you are sending to downstream devices – and your viewing audience.

Situated beneath the monitor itself are Stream, Record and Grab buttons, their respective
Configuration buttons and time/counter fields (we’ll look at those features later).
