A/V Input And Output - NewTek TriCaster Mini User Manual


Multiple software failsafe systems continually monitor and safeguard the live
performance. Any recoverable software error conditions are quickly and
unobtrusively dealt with.

Video pass-through (not a TriCaster Mini SDI or Mini feature) ensures that as
long there is AC power, audio and video from Input 8 (on 8-input models) or
Input 4 (4-input models) are routed to Output 1 in a case of catastrophic
software condition.

If at all possible, streaming output and recording also continue even if all else
fails.

TriCaster also has a comprehensive integrated system restore feature.
Operators can quickly and easily restore to factory defaults, or create a
custom restore image on another drive and either restore from that drive or
use the backup drive to boot from if a complete hard drive failure ever occurs.

Should a 'less than ideal' control surface USB connection fail, TriCaster will
automatically restart it without user intervention.

Live switch up to eight live video sources (8-input models).

TriCaster 460, 860 and 8000 support SDI and analog video input and output,
plus internal and local or remote network video sources. TriCaster 410 and
Mini SDI offer SDI and HD-SDI input and output without analog support, while
TriCaster Mini employs HDMI video input and output.

TriCaster 8000 only: connect popular video routers to greatly multiply input
options.

Professional BNC video connectors provide increased durability and
reliability for camera connections. (TriCaster Mini models include strain
relief provisions for HDMI cabling.)

Control supported robotic (PTZ) cameras via network or serial connection.

Freely mix 16:9 or 4:3 SD formats, and output HD sessions as HD and SD (4:3
or 16:9) simultaneously from HD sessions.

Multiple Media Player modules allow you to insert pre-recorded video, music,
sounds and imagery into your live presentations.
