CONNECTION TYPE

The Configuration panel for the Camera inputs features a Connection Type menu at the top of its
Input Settings tab. Connection Type menu options vary depending on the Video Standard for the
session. TriCaster Multi-standard provides PAL and NTSC-J session options, in addition to NTSC.
The Connection Type menu options for a PAL session list PAL HD and SD format options.
Choosing NTSC as the session Video Standard results in a Connection Type list with appropriate
formats, and it is similar for NTSC-J. Changing from one Video Standard to another requires
opening a new session.
Hint: All connected cameras must conform to the current Video Standard for the session.
