Backup Session - NewTek TriCaster 40 User Manual

TARGET, PRESET & DESTINATION
Having prepared the file list, click the triangle button in the Target field to open a drop-down menu listing categories of
device or application targets to choose from. Then select a specific encoding Preset in the next column. Export presets vary
according to what is appropriate for a given session format.
Figure 94
Note: When presets that do not natively support HD are selected during an HD session, output is automatically scaled as
required to fit the selected file format. This is a convenience, but be sure to select a Preset suitable for your ultimate needs.
The Destination button opens a system file browser to choose a location for file output. Each exported file can have its own
Target, Preset and Destination settings. Click the Export button at the bottom of the dialogue to begin batch export
processing.
Hint: The time an export takes is affected by numerous factors. It is generally unwise to commence a file export shortly
before a live event, since you cannot launch TriCaster's Live Desktop during export.

7.1.4 BACKUP SESSION

Clicking the Backup Session button opens a file explorer that you can use to assign a storage location for the
backup files. Backup operations can take some time, depending on the amount of content in the session. For
obvious reasons, then, it would be wise not to begin a major backup operation shortly before a scheduled live
production. A progress gauge is displayed during processing, and if necessary you may Cancel the operation. Of
course, the session to be backed up is the current session (to back up a different session, return to the Home
Page and Open a different session.
The backup operation feature will determine whether all media used in the session is local (i.e., located in
folders named for that session), or whether some content is external – stored in other places on your system,
and included in the session using Add Media Location, or from folders belonging to other sessions. If all session
media is local the backup proceeds without further interruption. When external media is used in the session, a
dialog is presented stating "The following files are external to the session. Would you like to import these files?"
The optional actions in the dialog are:

Backup without importing

Import and Backup

Cancel Backup
