A.1.10 CONNECT TALLY LIGHTS?
External tally light devices and their connections vary widely. Please refer to Section 3.9.1 for

A.1.11 CONNECT TO A NETWORK?
Please refer to Section 3.18 and Chapter 14.

2. TriCaster identifies itself as a potential client device to the AirPlay source.
3. One or more TriCaster devices will be listed as potential output devices for the AirPlay
device. Select one and you are done.
