Hd And Sd - NewTek TriCaster Mini User Manual


Supply independent video outputs to the two Display ports for supplemental
monitoring or projection.

Stream program output to the Internet via a suitable network connection.
As mentioned earlier, for HD sessions TriCaster supports simultaneous output of both
SD (Standard Definition) and HD (High Definition) video. Except for TriCaster 410,
Mini SDI, and Mini, the Video Output connector groups on TriCaster's backplate are
arranged in vertical columns of four BNC connectors, offering the following
connection possibilities for live production:

Output 1 video output format is determined by the session (see Section 5.1).
When the session is SD 4:3 or 16:9, output is likewise SD 4:3 or 16:9. When
the session is HD, output is HD.

Output 2 is user-configurable, and can be set up in the Live Desktop (Output
Configuration panel).

(8-input models only) Output 3 can be used to mirror either of the two
primary outputs, or transmit a completely different source in its original
format.
1. Connect downstream video devices to the appropriate output connectors in the
VIDEO OUT section, whether SDI, HDMI, Component, Y/C (BNC) or Composite
(TriCaster 410 and Mini SDI support SDI output only, TriCaster Mini supports
HDMI only). Please note that Y/C and Composite may require RCA (cinch plug)
or S-video (4 pin mini-DIN) to BNC adapters, and also that both of these
connection options support output at SD resolution only.
a. SDI or HDMI – Attach SDI connectors to BNC or HDMI (TriCaster Mini
only) connectors in the VIDEO OUT group labeled 1-(2 or 3).
Hint: If your equipment supports SDI, this is the best alternative. Note that the
following analog output options are not supported by TriCaster 410, Mini SDI,
or Mini.
