A.4.12 FREE UP SPACE BY DELETING THE DEMO CLIPS?
1. Go to TriCaster’s Startup Screen.
2. Open a session (it doesn’t matter which one).
3. Click Manage on the icon ring, and click the Clips link at right.
4. Use the system File Explorer that opens to navigate up one level in the folder hierarchy, to
D:\Media\Clips.
5. Selectively delete content from the sub-folders you find in this location.
A.5 SOFTWARE, MAINTENANCE AND UPDATES
A.5.1 IMPROVE PERFORMANCE?
1. Click the Shut Down icon on the Home Page of the Startup Screen, and click the Administrator Mode
link at right to exit the TriCaster environment.
2. In the Administrator Mode screen, click the Defragment Hard Drive link (under the System Utilities
heading) and follow directions provided (see the heading System Utilities in Section 5.2.3).
This process can take considerable time, so it’s best not to commence unless time (before a
production) permits.
A.5.2 RESOLVE SERIOUS INSTABILITY OR DROPPED FRAMES?
If the system becomes seriously unstable or is dropping frames with ‘known compatible’ video files (after
the warm-up period), consider a full System Restore (see item A.5.7).
A.5.3 UPDATE TRICASTER?
1. Connect TriCaster to a valid Internet connection
2. Click the Shut Down icon on the Home Page of the Startup Screen.
3. Click the Administrator Mode link at right to exit the TriCaster environment.
4. In the Administrator Mode screen, click Update TriCaster under the System Utilities heading, and
follow directions provided (see the heading System Utilities in Section 5.2.3).
Note: Updates sometimes require changes to TriCaster configuration files. In such cases, the original (pre-update)
files are automatically stored in a directory named “Configuration (Backup)” located at C:\TriCaster\Configuration,
to avoid unintended loss of custom settings. At times you might decide to restore one of these in place of the newer
configuration file, to retain use of certain settings (or perhaps, macros). An advanced user might opt to cut and
paste relevant lines from the older file into the new one (we suggesting backing up the newer file in this case, too,
out of an abundance of caution).
