Preparing Network Video Sources - NewTek TriCaster Mini HD-4 Manual

4) Preparing Network Video Sources

Using TriCaster Mini, you can easily display slide presentations, software interfaces, web pages,
screenshares, camera rolls, even webcams and video from streaming servers during your live show—simply
by connecting TriCaster and your supported device (such as a computer or an iOS device with Apple AirPlay)
to the same local network, and following a few easy steps.
COMPUTERS WITH HDMI OUTPUT
If you have a computer that will output video to an HDMI monitor, it's possible to connect it to TriCaster
Mini directly by using a suitable HDMI cable and one of the VIDEO IN ports. This will allow you to share
the computer's screen during your show without a network connection. Additional configuration may be
required. See the TriCaster Mini User Guide for more details.
IMPORTANT: Start by connecting your computer (or iOS device) to the same local network as TriCaster
Mini.
