SECTION 15.7 ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
The controls for all inputs (including internal audio sources) as
well as the Effects, Stream, Aux 1, 2 and Master 1, 2 output groups
include a configuration button shown when you move the mouse
over the input label. The familiar ‘gear’ icon opens an advanced
Audio Configuration panel.
We touched on this panel briefly when we discussed selecting a
Connection type for external audio inputs, and (mic) Gain. The
Audio Configuration panel offers many more important features
and controls, however. Let’s explore these now.
15.7.1 AUDIO DELAY
Audio and video arriving at TriCaster inputs will maintain sync
throughout the system to output or recording. However upstream
issues can occasionally cause video to arrive at TriCaster’s inputs
later than the corresponding sound.
To mitigate this sort of external problem, TriCaster provides an
adjustable Audio Delay setting.
E.g., many cameras support simultaneous digital and analog audio output. In-camera processing can delay digital
a/v output, resulting in analog audio output actually leading the digital output by a meaningful measure.
15.7.2 AUTOMATION
F OLLOW P ROGRAM V IDEO
Enabling Follow Program Video options for an audio source
directs TriCaster to track switcher operations affecting the
related video source.
Audio for sources with Follow Program video enabled in the
Audio Configuration panel is automatically removed from
mixed outputs until one or more specified video sources are
actually displayed on Program Output.
Hint: When the corresponding video source is not displayed on
output, the audio source’s VU meter level is displayed as a
grayscale.

Advanced Edition’s powerful automation toolset.
