A wide variety of sources can be supplied to Net 1 and 2, making these two inputs
exceptionally versatile and powerful.
To cover these capabilities fully, we’ve dedicated all of Chapter 16 (Network Inputs)
to the topic. We’ll just mention here that both of these inputs provide TriCaster’s
full gamut of creative controls, including Proc Amps, LiveMatte, Edge control,
Tracking, Hotspots, and so-on (see Section 8.2). Some sources even support
embedded audio across the network, which is why you will find Net 1 and 2
represented in the Audio Mixer, too (Section 15.6.1).
SECTION 8.4 TIMECODE CONFIGURATION
TriCaster can supply event time values based on the
system clock, when necessary. To access timecode options,
click the small gear icon next to the timecode display at
right in Live Desktop’s Dashboard.
Hint: You can set TriCaster’s system clock as for any computer by exiting to the
Windows® Desktop.
Most TriCasters can optionally use an external linear
timecode (LTC) reference to drive its clocks, and
timecode for capture (TriCaster 410 and TriCaster
Mini do not support external timecode).
We’ll discuss the shared timecode features first, and
then focus on the unique aspects of the LTC timecode
support (Section 8.4.3).
8.4.1 SUBTRACT 12 HOURS
The current time value is embedded in the frames of
Quicktime video files captured during the session
using TriCaster’s Record function. For this reason, a
switch labeled Subtract 12 Hours is provided.
This option permits you to avoid confusion that
might arise when sequencing files based on timecode that ‘wraps around’ past
