It is quite likely that any attempt to update these manually will have unintended
results, and you are strongly cautioned against doing so (unless otherwise directed
by Customer Support).
A.5.5 INSTALL VIRUS PROTECTION?
Virus and malware protection applications can dramatically impact system
performance. In general, once additional software or services are enabled on
TriCaster, real-time performance cannot be guaranteed.
In a perfect world, we'd love to recommend that you do not install virus and/or
malware protection software on TriCaster. Certainly you should always take
sensible precautions to avoid introducing infected files into TriCaster by rigorously
virus-checking media you plan to connect or import beforehand – ideally, do so on a
laptop or other system before connecting to TriCaster.
Realistically though, in some settings you may feel the need for protection
outweighs the risk. If you really feel you must install virus protection, switch all of
its ‘active scanning’ operations off so that nothing can occur in the background while
TriCaster’s Live Desktop is running.
Anything that provides full-time protection will dramatically reduce memory and
disk speed on your system, so you should disable those features. Then, only when
you need to do so (perhaps on a daily or weekly schedule), perform a manual scan.
Never let scanning continue into a live switching event, and do not assume that you
can now omit pre-checking files and external media for nasty surprises.
Hint: In the unfortunate event that malware ever does evade your defensive measures,
you can always use TriCaster’s Restore TriCaster function to completely rehabilitate your
system.)
A.5.6 INSTALL MY FAVORITE SOFTWARE (OR CODEC)?
TriCaster is not a ‘general purpose’ computer. The installed software suite is finely
tuned to provide reliable performance and amazing features. Anything you install
apart from official TriCaster updates places these important goals at risk. Doing so
is strongly discouraged.
