Audio Headroom - NewTek TriCaster 850 User Manual

Also, once your streaming provider has provided you the connection specifics, you can resume
the stream at any time without intervention from the server. When a Push profile is chosen, the
Server control group updates to allow entry of the (pre-arranged) host web address (Location),
Username and Password.
Note: The publishing point is placed at the end of the URL, following a forward slash (i.e.,
http://225.21.1.4:8080/NewTek).
Enabling the Stream button then "pushes" the stream from your location, logging into the pre-
arranged web address using the username and password you provided. The streaming service
then re-transmits your stream for all to see.
Note: You will find information on the use of custom streaming profiles including MBR (multi-
bitrate) options at Section A.7.3 in Appendix A.

15.4 AUDIO HEADROOM

Figure 245
TriCaster provides an Audio Headroom setting that provides the ability to choose how far below
0dB FS (the maximum allowable digital level) to set the nominal level for your streaming audio.
This lets you customize your streaming audio headroom level separately to make sure your
audience hears sound at an appropriate level, while still eliminating any possibility of audio
clipping in captured streaming files.
Hint: Recall, as well, the Stream control group in the Internal Audio Mixer tab provides a
Compressor/Limiter that can help you deliver the best possible sound to your listeners.
