unforeseen problem? You can use one of two methods to access TriCaster’s Restore
features, depending on your situation.
To restore your TriCaster system software after the system launches normally:
1. Click the Shut Down icon on the Home Page of the Startup Screen.
2. Click the Administrator Mode link at right to exit the TriCaster environment.
3. In the Administrator Mode screen, select the link labeled Backup or Restore
System.
4. Select the Restore Factory Defaults bootup option.
If TriCaster should ever fail to boot up properly, you may need to try a different
approach to restore your TriCaster system software, as follows:
1. Select the menu item labeled Restore Factory Defaults from the black boot
screen that appears shortly after powering TriCaster up. (If this screen does
not automatically appear, reboot and press F8 a few times in quick
succession, say once per second, immediately after powering up.)
Either method described above will ultimately present you with powerful system
backup and restore tools. The management screen initially presents you with 3
options as follows:
 Restore System Partition to Factory Defaults: overwrites the C partition
(only) on the existing system drive from the disk image in its local Restore
partition.
Note: Following a Reset to Factory Defaults operation, the Windows® system
software must be re-activated. To do this, you will need the operating system
serial number, which you will find on a sticker affixed to the exterior of your
TriCaster.
This procedure restores your system drive (“C:”) to its ‘as-shipped’ state.
The "D:" drive, which holds content and sessions won't be modified.
However any TriCaster software updates (possibly including optional
TriCaster expansion packs) will be overwritten – so use this function only
when necessary. When you do restore, remember to update the TriCaster
software afterward.
