Choosing Follow 1- (3 or 4) transmits the same video source, at the same resolution, as the ‘followed’ output.
FIGURE 62
Network Output sends audio and video across a LAN (Local Area Network) to the Net inputs of another
TriCaster, and is enabled or disabled using the switch at left. A De-Interlace option is provided for Network
out. This is useful for connection to downstream systems that re-stream TriCaster’s network video output
but lack native ability to de-interlace it (TriCaster’s own streaming output is always de-interlaced).
Streaming Output is more complex, since there are so many different ways to stream. In this panel, you can
configure the audio and video sources sent to output. All other options and settings relevant to streaming
are located in the Streaming Configuration panel – see Chapter 18 for a full discussion of this important topic.

Two rows at the bottom of the configuration panel are labeled Display. The corresponding output ports are
intended to supply video to projection systems or other display devices. The physical Display connectors
may vary by model, but are typically presented physically on TriCaster’s rear connection panels as HDMI and
either DVI or VGA ports. Video Source options are the same as other secondary outputs. No audio is supplied
to these connectors.
When a downstream monitor is detected on a Display port, the corresponding Resolution menu permits
selection of a suitable resolution (typically, an incorrect selection here will result in an ‘out of range’ error
message being displayed on the downstream device). Switches provided at left in each row permit the
Display ports to be selectively disabled when they are not required.
Note: TriCaster Mini, depending on the model, may also provide CASE DISPLAY setup features, providing access to
a number of useful display alternatives for the side-panel LCD screen.
8.1.2 GENLOCK & FAILSAFE
TriCaster’s Genlock feature allows it to ‘lock’ its video output to a reference video signal supplied to its
Genlock input connector. (Note that neither TriCaster 410 nor TriCaster Mini include Genlock options.)
