16 RECORD AND GRAB
You will often want to capture video clips from external sources, as well as to
record your own outgoing live production.
Similarly, it can be quite useful to be able to grab stills from Program output
for use in the current production. This chapter will provide everything you
need to know about this topic.
16.1 RECORD
TriCaster™ provides a great deal of flexibility when it comes to capturing your production, a part
of it, or a wide array of internal and external sources (with embedded timecode) to files. This
ability will be very helpful for immediate post production purposes, or as a way to capture video
clips for playback from the DDR during a live production.

TriCaster’s unique IsoCorder™ technology provides you with even more powerful recording
capabilities. For example, it’s possible to record all incoming sources simultaneously (with
embedded timecode), or a mix of sources and output streams, including Program, Program
(Clean) - along with many other useful Aux or input selections.
Settings and controls for recording are grouped in the Record Configuration panel. Click the
Configure button (gear) near the Record button to open this panel (Figure 249).
RECORD CONFIGURATION 16.1.1
The Record Configuration panel allows you to select a Primary source for recording and configure
it. (TriCaster EXTREME systems allow you to go on to set up as many as seven additional
(Secondary) recordings – we’ll discuss that a bit later).
