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

IMPORTANT: If there is a policy at your company that prevents you from installing new software on
your computer, download and save iVGA to the USB thumb drive. You can run it from there without
installing it on your computer.
If you are using a PC, an iVGA icon is added to the Windows taskbar notification area. If you are running the
iVGA PRO version, a control panel will also open on your computer desktop. If you are using a Mac, an iVGA
icon appears in your Dock, and an iVGA Status dialog box opens on your desktop with a message that says
iVGA is ready and listening.
Now your computer is ready to use as a video source and you can continue to the next section.
That's it. Your device is ready to use as a video source and you can continue to the next section.

5) Connecting Network Video Sources

Now that you have your network video source ready, it's time to connect it to TriCaster Mini using a network
