Connect A Supported External Control Surface - NewTek TriCaster 850 User Manual

A: If you disconnect (or power down) and reconnect monitors while on TriCaster's Live Desktop,
the operating system can have difficulty with monitor recognition and configuration. To avoid
problems, naturally it's best to leave display devices connected to the DVI ports along while live.
In the case of an accidental disconnection, avoid reconnecting both monitors at the same time.
Rather, allow the display on the first monitor connected to stabilize before connecting the
second.
VIDEO MONITORS/DEVICES
Downstream video monitoring devices must be compatible with the video broadcast standard
(such as NTSC or PAL) you intend to use in the TriCaster session.
1. Connect cables between downstream devices (whether monitors or other devices) and
appropriately labeled connectors on TriCaster's backplate (see Section 3.8.1).
2. Open a TriCaster session (or create a new one) from the Home Page of the Startup
Screen.
3. Click the Live icon on the Session Page of the Startup Screen, and press Enter (or click
the Start Live Production link).
4. For SD display devices, you may need to adjust the connection options found in Output
Configuration:
a. Move the mouse over the Program monitor, and click the Configure button
(gear) that appears above it to open Output Configuration.
b. Click the Output tab, and select either Composite + Y/C or Component
according to the connection type used by your device. (Please see Section 3.11
for more information.)
