Hint: TriCaster’s SDI and analog output sections can be used simultaneously. For example, you
could use the Composite output to view your program on a local composite monitor at the same
time as you use the SDI connection to supply broadcast equipment.
SUPPLEMENTAL VIDEO OUTPUTS 3.8.3
Additional dedicated video outputs make it possible to connect monitors or projection devices to
TriCaster for a variety of purposes including program output for IMAG (Image Magnification)
installations or flexible monitoring for the convenience of the operator.
1. An HDMI connector provides an additional primary Program output. Simply connect a
suitable external monitor or device to the HDMI connector on the backplane
2. TriCaster’s Multiview output may be supplied by a DVI connector (TriCaster 855) or an
HDMI connector found beside the main Interface DVI connector (TriCaster 455). Again,
connect a suitable external monitor or device. The new device should be recognized
and enabled by the system automatically. This output offers a variety of optional
monitoring layouts that can be selected at any time in TriCaster’s Live Desktop.
Note: For best results in IMAG applications, it is important to configure Multiview Output to the
native resolution of the external projector.
3.9 TALLY LIGHTS
TriCaster’s Tally Light support allows you to connect external tally lights and similar devices.
These typically provide a red LED for the video input that is currently selected on the Switcher’s
Program row.
