Figure 93
For example, the first thing you will likely do on launching a new TriCaster is create a session. In
anticipation of that, the New icon is automatically pre-selected whenever no sessions already
exist on TriCaster. This results in the corresponding session options being displayed at right, as
shown in Figure 93 (Multi-standard model options shown).

1080/30p, 720p, 720/30p, 720/24p, 480/30i (16:9) or 480/30i (4:3). Multi-standard models offer
PAL format equivalents.
