However, please note that the use of so-called "USB extenders" is not recommended. Whenever
possible, use a single USB cable of the correct length. Each added connector on the signal path is
a potential connection problem, and also causes signal ‘reflections’. Such an arrangement may
seem to work for a while, then fail unpredictably.
If you are using a very long USB cable (or a poor quality cable), you should supply a powered hub
at the end of the cable nearest the control surface, then complete the connection with a short
USB cable from the hub to TriCaster TCXD850 CS. (An unpowered hub will be of no help.)
