3.1 COMMAND AND CONTROL
1. Connect an external computer monitor to the (uncapped) DVI port on the backplate
(labeled Interface on TriCaster 855). For TriCaster 455, use the DVI connector nearest to
the Video In group for the interface monitor connection. (DVI connectors located at left
near the network port are normally capped and should not be used.)
Note: TriCaster’s interface requires a minimum screen resolution of 1600x1050.
2. Connect the mouse and keyboard to USB ports on TriCaster.
3. Connect the A/C power cord(s) from the three-prong connections on TriCaster’s
backplate to an external power receptacle (see Hint below).
4. Turn on the computer monitor.
